Her public review of the day was…
An okay day, nothing too out of the ordinary. A taste of early summer here – 70F, which is unusually warm. Still cheered by the crocuses in the backyard, esp the white ones. And the purple & white striped ones. They won’t last much longer. Rotis for supper, always a treat.

Pretty good day, another couple of good meetings, some other routine stuff.
Walking through the backyard on the way out, I noticed the most beautiful single white crocus – long stem, large white chalice-shaped flower.
Returning home, a ghostly crescent moon behind thin cloud.

Her public review of the day was…
Things went well. Two very good meetings, that included progress and appreciations. (That makes a big difference.) Tasted a new tea. Made some social plans. Ate up some tasty leftovers that included 1.5 great big portobello mushrooms with tamari sauce.
There were a few hours of sunshine, in between cloudinesses. Lingered in the backyard a bit, on the way in and out. The crocuses are gorgeous. All kinds of other things are peeking out.

MaryAnn, in the Green Bracket, played Monday April, 15th for 289 points, following 93% of her 15 rules.
She
lost 1 life point for missing the following: limit spending for anything non-essential every day.
Her public review of the day was…
Rushed around doing various stuff, a lot of it unexpected but necessary, and therefore many things on the list for today didn’t get done. And besides, I got distracted while I was out running errands.
Succeeded in not spending money on clothes I don’t need, but did spend money on scarves/shawls (at $10 each) that I also don’t need. They were on sale, and they’re beautiful, and and and. Not the biggest sin, but still…. Mostly I don’t need them, and they’re more stuff in the house, and I oughtn’t to be spending money on such stuff. Yet, I’ll enjoy them.
Didn’t have time for either coffee or tea today.
Had some nice moments of enjoying being alive, just bustling around the neighbourhood on missions and errands. (It was an intention that I’d planted in my head, and it worked.)
Had a good few minutes in the backyard, doing a bit of cleaning up so the emerging plants aren’t smothered by last year’s dead stuff. I love seeing the new shoots come up. And there are lovely little clumps of crocuses. All kinds of things are just beginning to wake up again.

MaryAnn, in the Green Bracket, played Sunday April, 14th for 249 points, following 86% of her 15 rules.
She
lost 2 life points for missing the following: do yoga at least 1 day a week, exercise for 0 minutes at least 3 days a week.
Her public review of the day was…
Got a fair amount done. Chores, tasks, laundry, some minor decluttering.
Plans for studying, paperwork, and the like got superseded by something more important for husband – a somewhat complicated and tricky project (a photo of him that would serve as a portrait) that took quite a while, but the outcome was better than I’d expected, so that was satisfying. And good to get it done.
I’ve been enjoying tasting and savouring various kinds of tea that are new to me, thanks to starfevre.
Still a little overwhelmed at all the things yet to be done, a number of them becoming more urgent.
Going to bed less late than the recent lates, which is good. Another busy week ahead, but not so busy as the recent busy, and that’s good too.

MaryAnn, in the Green Bracket, played Saturday April, 13th for 248 points, following 100% of her 15 rules.
She
didn't lose any life points and therefore got 1 piece of fruit for the hard work.
Her public review of the day was…
Got some stuff done – reading, studying, admin, odds & ends; and made a decision (hurray).
Went to an evening concert put on by a community choir in which a friend of mine sings. It was great.
Started with Faure’s Requiem, and then miscellaneous short pieces loosely connected with Spring. Including Aaron Copland’s “I Bought Me a Cat” – fun and very well done.
The concert was in a beautiful old church downtown, that I know from other connections. Among the whole audience, the only other people we knew there sat down right behind us, without any of us realizing until later. Nice happenstance.

She
lost 1 life point for missing the following: exercise for 0 minutes at least 3 days a week.
Her public review of the day was…
The end of a busy week, finally. Did a bunch of stuff. One rather difficult meeting, a mixture of social and work, that included heavy conversation with many snags that had to be unpacked and sorted out. Draining.
Another gathering that was quiet and restful, and included a conversation with a woman with metastatic cancer. Sad. She knows her days are numbered. I mean, more numbered than the general/assumed numbered. And those commitments meant I had to miss the funeral of a youngish (45) acquaintance who recently died of cancer. (But there will be another event honouring her life in a few weeks.)
So, a heavy day.
Ended up picking up a roti for supper (oops, roti two days in a row), and watching “Jewel of the Nile” (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito) – a rollicking, comedy-adventure.
It was just right: exotic beautiful desert setting (shot in Morocco), wonderful sets and props and camels (etc), and still funny after 25 years. Maybe even more funny, because the humour back then could afford to be less ‘careful’.

And found the perfect little thing to give her as an office-warming gift for her new office: a “pyrite sun”.
I may have to get one for myself.
Wow, I’ve never seen a “pyrite sun.” At first, I thought it was a sand dollar that had been covered with some sort of metallic covering. Beautiful!
Yes, they’re beautiful. And that this is a natural, crystalline formation. And the colour – sort of a soft, taupey gold. I don’t know if you can see in the web images, how it glistens in the light.
