Am disgusted by what Twitter has become under X. Leaving now for Threads. My 15+ years daily performance continues with or without followers

Got my Payt Bradbury jeans today and wow, a work of art they are. Bell bottomed, with many different denim colors. My old Luckys transformed

First yoga together in many weeks. Choral concert in Newburyport tonight—we decided it’s a pretty pretty town, especially this time of year.

Highlight of the day was watching A. teach his social studies (we need a new term for this) class after a dining hall lunch—not bad, so fun!

Early morning. Head down in the studio with the big needlepoint. Happy day homecoming. Tomorrow I’ll get back on track organizing, planning.

A day of highs and lows. Struggled to get framer to commit to dates I thought were set. Lovely call with Streeter. Then took CP in. Waiting.

Quintessential rainy Sunday. After making a batch of the English Almond Toffee I updated website, made soup, needlepointed by the warm fire.

Balls in the air, managing and breathing better now. All good—just…if the possibility to get more done is ever present, how do we not do it?
