Things I have been doing besides blogging:

• Crocheting nothing.  This is also known as crocheting whole skeins of yarn, multiple times, then pulling it out and starting over.   It's the act that is calming, not the result.
• Painting.  I found some biggish sized, already painted canvases at a church sale and snagged all 3 for $1.  Came home, pulled out my acrylics and had a little paint-fest.  It was really great.  I think I might just paint over them again and again.  Again with the act, not the result.
• Reading.  But that's an always thing.
• Playing video games.  I picked up Hunter the Reckoning: Wayward for $5, hoping Y would like it, since it's a rare co-op game.  But one of our controllers is borked, so I killed Zombies all by myself.  And I didn't do half bad! *beams*

Things I will be doing besides blogging in the future:

• Cake decorating classes.  Starts on Tuesday. Once a week for six weeks.  Yay icing flowers.
• Needlepoint.  I never could find my loop, so I bought another one.  I assume I'll find my other tomorrow. 
• Planning Thanksgiving dinner.  i'm hosting this year for my brother, parents and grandparents. I'm not so much intimidated, as under-prepared.  And two weeks doesn't leave much time for rectification.

Overall, Mel and I decided that blogging is somewhat meh-ish.  It's different now, for good or bad.  I like having a blog, I just don't love updating it.   But sometimes it's nice to have a place to put these things that I want to ramble about.

Random thought:   If they can run cable lines and phone lines to our individual houses, why can't they do the little bank tubes - and then we could order a banana, or ice cream, or a chocolate bar online and some magic robot arm would drop it in, press the button and zippity-do-do, i have dessert!
