Day 2: That was a super easy one because we were going outside today anyway, to pick up bottle caps for charity. :D (Depending on which kindness activities are further in the calendar, the charity thing might become a theme, since I've been really involved in fundraising for little Eva since early October.)

And eating vegetables is another easy thing. :D I actually only had kind of semi-vegetables today, lol (olives, jalapenos and tomato juice). Most days it's something like lettuce, broccoli or green beans. But it still counts. :D

Also this is the first time I've ever heard of candy cane bombing and I frakking love this entire concept. :D I totally would have done it if candy canes were not so expensive (I imagine they're cheaper in the US, or you can buy them in bulk or something?).

The Dollar Tree had a box of 25 tiny ones for $1, but I shelled out for the bigger ones. Made it easier to put on car door handles. Got 30 canes for $5.

That's kinda what I thought. ;) Here the lowest price I've seen is 1 candy cane for about 25 American cents if you take the currency literally, and if you also consider what you can actually buy for the amount, it's more like 1 for $1. Which makes sense I guess, it's not really ~a thing~ to have candy canes, so when you do it costs a lot. *shrug* :)

[blue_sunflowers]

Whoa. Thought candy canes were more European than American. Huh.

Day 2: As dance_the_dance said, we went outside to collect bottle caps (which was awesome, since probably otherwise I wouldn't have gone outside, cause, yikes, it was cold, second time this year I wore my winter gloves, but it was also really fun being outside).

I also ate vegetables, tomatoes and onions and dried up eggplant, which was kinda bitter but still fine.

I started on the coloring page, which is adorable but I'm probably not gonna finish it, so I guess I'll count it on a different day.

[dance_the_dance]

ASDSFGHSHJL that is so awesome! :D Seriously, for an idea that I hadn't even heard of until yesterday, I love the concept of candy cane bombing incredibly much, lol. :D

[blue_sunflowers]

Maybe next year I'll just say any candy or something.

[dance_the_dance]

I would love that. :D Now that I know of this idea, I'm not dropping it easily. ;P

Day 3: Danced silly to a ridiculously fast version of Hey Diddle Diddle. :D Which is my song of choice when doing these things, and since I actually have a song of choice for dancing silly, it was a challenge right up my alley. :D

I'm also going to read a book by a scented candle right before I sleep (which is, like, in 10 minutes :P). That's as much fire as you can get in a tiny apartment. xD Plus I love scented candles sfm. ♥ I've been looking forward to doing it for the whole day, but only now I'm ready. :D

Day 3: I danced around my living room/into the kitchen to songs from the Bang Bang Baby soundtrack among others. It was silly in how weird my dancing movements are all the time. I end up looking like I'm trying to create interpretive dance routines to any music I listen to. I love doing this, and it always helps me feel better, and works as a good break when on the computer working too long. I was applying to jobs online today, and this was a welcome break from that!

[dance_the_dance]

Silly interpretative dance sounds like so much fun. :D I mostly just jump and flail (which is also fun). xD

Good luck with your job search!
