Branches always have stories to tell.
Thoughts On Napping
First thing Monday morning this week, I had a cataract removal procedure done on one eye. The rest of the day all I wanted to do was nap. I think that is a normal reaction to the release of stress. I had one short nap.
The next day, I was keen on having a nap after my yearly doctor’s exam. Alas, I had a surgery follow up appointment that afternoon. But, I fit in another short nap anyway.
At 3 AM EDT Wednesday, guess who is still awake. 😂
I’m just starting to yawn.
Later today, there will be no napping.
Reflection Monday November 2025
Everything you say, do, identify with and belong to is free range under authoritarian rule. You think you are safe because you aren’t high profile, think again.
There are people going without in real time today, no paycheck, no food assistance because of the actions of one group led by guess who. People suffering while a ballroom is in construction is the news we hear.
Reflect on that, especially the people who voted for that kind of leadership.
Welcome To November 2025
 |
Under a partly cloudy sky, the 1st day of November has a crisp and chilly vibe that goes well with hot tea and apple cider donuts.
This is the start of Branch Season. What to do with pencil sketched landscapes all around? There is snow in the mountains, leaves on the ground and birds eager to see the feeders back out.
I’m thinking organizing photos, changing passwords, reading about cyber security, and such is a plan worthy of being top of a November to do list.
For artists, and everyone who has ever thought or said I can’t draw, putting together an art tote is a good idea: sketchbook. pencils, sharpener, eraser and 2 pens. That is basic sketch set up to have handy whether outdoors or in a waiting room.
Sketching trees to research the botanical names can be an interesting goal to pursue.
Pick up a yard of fabric to use for hand sewing while listening to audio books.
Take advantage of that concentration, by learning a new language from an audio course.
November to me is the month of being comfy, cooking and creating.
