Monday is getsuyōbi (月曜日) which means day of the moon
Body: The shoulder pain is back again, and it brought friends. All the joints in my right leg are bothering me.
Book Review: I finished Benighted last night. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is (like me) sick and tired of schmaltzy romance novels pretending to be contemporary fantasy. It's a serious, literary fantasy novel about a woman who is normal in a world where 99%+ of humanity is a werewolf (although the author never uses that word). I give it a 9 out of 10.
Reading: I'm re-reading The Secret Garden for the umpteenth time.
Hearing: Marketplace
Etsy find: Hand Knit Socks
Project Follow-up: I started a cherry cordial, only to discover the jar I put it in wasn't big enough to hold all the ingredients. I got what I could in, and I'll transfer it to a bigger jar (and add the rest of the vodka) as soon as I get my hands on one. I also put the first layer of paint on the accessories I'm making for my Wicked Faire outfit and did a little decoupage-ing.
Tonight's Project: I'm going to stay a little late at work, then stop at the mall and/or a craft store to look for a bigger jar for my cordial.
