Lazy Funday
Despite a gloomy weather forecast, the sun shone nearly all day, and actually dried some things out a bit though it has started to rain again now. Tess got to go out to the pasture, I did laundry (always a landmark event, usually when I run out of clothes to wear,) and baked rolls and pizza. The temperature made it to 60F, so I even tried to put Rain-X on my windshield though that may not have succeeded. The container of little wipes with the secret chemical on them seemed rather dryish, though still damp. I cleaned the glass and rubbed it on anyway, and with all the expected rain this week, we'll see soon enough whether it worked.
Gary has been working on his map project for most of the day, so not much has been heard from that quarter. He seems to have learned to turn off his e-mail and facebook to avoid distractions, which is good.
I spun a couple of bobbins full of wool, but didn't start warping the loom as planned. Soon, though. It's a matter of putting other stuff away first, always a chore.
Also got some research in and requested a few books for more study on the subject of werewolves. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something about a werewolf for this year's NaNo, though I intend it to be about as unconventional as I can make it. Turns out that a lot of my ideas have already been tried at least once before, but that won't stop me. There's even a book where a wolf gets bitten by a werewolf, and as a consequence he transforms into a human once a month. ;p I'm more interested in making a werewolf who is a sympathetic character rather than a horrible thing to be feared. Remus Lupin was one of my favorite characters in the Harry Potter stories, for instance.
