We made it through 8+ hours of no power or internet much better than anticipated. Recharging all extra battery packs this morning!
The lantern batteries still worked! Plenty of tea lights, fairy lights and candles at the ready. 🙂 All but one flashlight worked.
The wildfire stayed east and north of us.

another large bowl of pico de gallo in the fridge – it’s the last until we go back to the store for more ingredients, though
2 new 3D projects completed and ready for the October tiered tray
to-do list for the week is getting checked off. YIPPEE!
3 Positives:
Did a little shopping
Played with paper for a couple of hours yesterday
The pico de gallo is gone again…. more to come of that. It’s definitely been a hit this year.
My Journey Notes:
Not sure what’s up with the insomnia… but I thought we’d turned the corner on that one Saturday, but not so. Spent several hours awake Sunday night and again last night. Fitbit stats are not so good. But at least Sunday was double the time for last night. I really need to find something that will support a good night’s sleep — I know on the days that I haven’t gotten enough sleep, my memory and ability to focus and function are less than desired and I really need the focus for the next few days as I work on a project that requires my full attention to the details.
3 Positives:
Rest.
Rest.
And more of the same.

Work in the studio was rewarding… and I think I like making paper yarn.
All first of the month bills can now be marked as “paid in full!”
Laundry done – including the folding and putting away 😉
3 Positives:
Chores for the day – done early
Desk in studio cleaned up
While not completely successful, I did get a good 6 inches of paper yarn spun… fun process and I hope to get better at it. Good way to use up some of these paper scraps once the paper ply is separated.
My Journey Notes:
Insomnia cycle is back in play. 3 nights in a row and up again before the crack of dawn because snoozing ain’t happening. I fear I’ll be dragging by 9am with only 3 hours of sleep. The “new” suggested routine isn’t working… or it’s that full moon! 😉 Dog was up as well last night, so that didn’t help me get an uninterrupted sleep… but she needed to take a trip outside. Thankfully, no critters in the yard for her to chase or bark at, so it was a quick out and back in. Making a more detailed list for today – being this tired doesn’t help me remember things.
3 Positives:
picked blackberries from our bushes
spent a little time in the studio working on my current project
read a little longer than my norm
3 Positives:
Success in a current 3D paper project and a simple hand cut leaf idea provided the answer need for a project finish. I’m also going to try to learn to spin!
First tomatoes of the season from the garden – BLTs for dinner
Yummy pico de gallo made with peppers and more tomatoes from the garden.
3 Positives:
Finished reading a book
Had a nice visit with a friend
Sleeping a little better overall
3 Positives:
The migraine med worked as hoped
Appreciating the little things that are going right
laugh at the mistakes (there were lots of them yesterday) in the craft room
My Journey Notes:
Goal for today is to check off a few things on the chore list before sitting down and getting really involved in a paper project a little later this morning. Video chat collaboration that hopefully, will get a few questions answered (“glimmers”) and a new project idea underway. Simple dinner on the menu tonight, so I can hopefully cross off at least one or two components of this projects.
Greatitudes
