More Snow!


8:45 am
                Lovely lovely. I had all sorts of busy-ness planned for today and now it is snowing heavily and I will do none of it! I love that! Let’s see, originally there was a meeting scheduled at work at 9, meaning I was going to need to zoom around to get the bunnies et al done to get there in time. Then I was going to go to a lovely retreat place a bit north of here for the night.
But I would have needed to get all packed up, and it would have all been a huge rush. So instead I am doing nothing which is lovely. I have rescheduled the retreat for next weekend and decided to go for 2 nights which makes a lot more sense. I just hope the weather holds back that weekend since the only cars I will have available if it snows are the tiny insight and the unstable camperbus, neither of which are at all useful in the snow. – update/news flash! I just found out that K will not be working Friday, so I will have the car!!
                I wish I had remembered to bring the dog brush from work yesterday. I’m trying to card up this dog hair that has been awaiting my attention for months, and I need a fine dog brush to help clean off the cotton carders that I use. The new drum carder, which is much finer than my old one, worked great for an initial opening up of the stuff. Now I am using the cotton hand cards for a final process, but I need the fine dog brush. It would be nice to put a solid bit of time into that today.
                Another todo for today (besides continuing with the finances) would be to focus on a “game plan” business-wise for the year. In order to enter some of the fancier fairs, I believe I need to make myself official, so I need to look into that – becoming a registered business. And that means doing taxes and all sorts of headache that I would love to avoid, but perhaps it is time. It is also time to figure out how to easily take photos so that I can actually start to post things to Etsy again. Maybe I should invest in a good light. Or maybe I should move some of the massive number of plants I have in the kitchen bay window so more natural light will come in there and I could take photos there. I don’t need a huge place, just a small one to set up skeins and small knit things.
                One word for today:
 Broadsword
So what in the hell am I supposed to do with that? I guess a broadsword is one of those big fat things that people used way back when for whacking each other. Pleasant thought. Could it be as effectively used for whacking one’s demons? Worry – “whack!” anxiety – “whack!” depression – “whack!” broadsword. Flat sharp shiny.
She was small, not what you’d call a hunk, a brute or even especially athletic. But she hefted the broadsword in both hands and knew that if she had to, if the need arose, she could wield it. She could hew down anyone that threatened those near and dear to her. She would defend her children to the death. Would she also defend their world? Could she wield the sword to save the things they loved best? Maybe it was time to try.
Well that was interesting……
