We got over three inches of snow overnight and, although the sun didn't make an appearance today, it was relatively mild. So, since I was home and didn't want to wait (until after 4 or 5 pm) to have my snow shoveled, I went out there with my little shovel and did it myself. The snow was wet and heavy, but I got it done and it only took an hour. And, I saved money.
In the last 3 hours, all of the snow left on the sidewalk has melted, and is mostly draining away. And the car is clean and somewhat dry.
I've got food in the fridge and the freezer so other than reading fanfiction online, there's not much else I'm motivated to do.
I got bored and looked at some of the pictures left on my hard drive where I ran across a folder of pictures I could barely remember taking. It was labelled Jewellry. I won't bore you with them, especially as it's a modest collection, mostly made up of rings my mom bought me when I was growing up and which I no longer wear. Old age results in joints swelling, most of the rings don't fit and I don't really have the money or the motivation to get them/any resized.
My favourite colour of the jewellry I bought for myself ... purple.
I like amethysts. The bi-colour loose stone is called an
'ametrine'. One day, I might even be able to afford to get it set in something. But, probably not.

Here's something my mom bought me that still fits but I rarely wear.

What's your favourite piece of jewellry or gemstone?
