Welcome to the first Friday in March. Hard to believe that it’s almost spring, but the new lilac bush that I planted a few weeks ago is budding like crazy, so spring can’t be too far away. Lent (for those who observe it) started this week–the colorful Mardi Gras King Cakes in the local bakery were my first clue about that.
Sadly, I missed Shrove Tuesday, though I did venture out of the house yesterday for breakfast, which did include pancakes, so I think I’m covered. What wasn’t covered were the faces of the people around me at and around the restaurant. Mask mandates are going away in many places, though people had to show proof of vaccination to get in the restaurant, so there was that.
I was supposed to be off work yesterday and today, but the five days of work this week that I tried to fit into three days didn’t quite fit, so I wound up working yesterday after all (after those pancakes). Ah well, one day off is better than none.
I haven’t decided what to do with my day off –so many books to read, so many projects to finish. Earlier this week I finished the baby blankets I was making for a friend who is expecting (as we speak), but the next blanket I made didn’t turn out the way I wanted so I think I will unravel it and start again. Annoying, but at least it was a small blanket.
Other than that, I’ll try to avoid watching too much news and give today’s writing prompt and random words a try instead.
