keep centered

and I didn't think I could be more impressed by him. Wrong.

You all know what a good guy Duke Styrkarr is. He went above and beyond yesterday in a small thing.
I was walking Amby at Honor War in a crowded spot and Amby pooped. I was prepared, but may have done a bit of awkward juggling holding Amby's leash, getting the bag out of my pouch and holding another bag. His Grace came up to me and I thought he was going to offer to hold my extra bag, but he took the poop bag and cleaned up after the dog, then took the poop bag somewhere to a garbage can out of sight. Not many people would offer to help by doing the nastiest job like that. I was so impressed, what a good guy.

Not a lot of unusual things happening here.

Snow and freezing temperatures. It seems worse because through January's mild weather we all thought Spring would be early. So it feels like we were decieved. The snow has been light in weight to shovel, but so often.

I have been doing art work, and it seems like all the time. Both vessels and sculpture. It's still a challenge getting sculpture to stay whole and not crack or blow up. A problem I don't have with vessels. It's particularly heartbreaking with sculpture because I spend so much time and struggle with each piece.
I have some SCA things I have promised to do within a timeline and Modern Pottery also within a timeline, so I have fired the kiln more than is common within a month. Between firings and cold temperatures I am afraid to look at my electrical bill when it comes, it won't be pretty.

I feel healed, for the most part. Every once in a while I will get a knee pain and not because I am doing anything unusual, just 'cause. But I feel like I felt decades ago in general. Knees seem like knees should feel. Amazing. I would love to go for walks with Amby, but the layers of ice and snow are a hindrence. My medical people kept saying "walk in the mall". But I can't bring myself to do that because I hate malls, and if I was there I would inevitably buy something on impulse.

I plan on going to a small event in Coeur d'Alene this weekend. I have been looking forward to going to *something*, (even through the group does not have a good reputation for tasty feasts). I still want to get out of town.

Working primarily on pottery for the Moscow (Modern) Renaissance Fair. Especially I am working on hoping for no rain.

The PWA isn't associated with the Ren Fair at all, meaning they scheduled a gallery opening the same time. I will have to give the opening a miss, which makes me sad as they are always fun, even though it is mostly our own members who show up for them. The theme for the show is "A Stitch In Time", and I have (what I consider) a funny, non-functional, pottery entry. I will miss hearing my friend's comments on it. I was also going to have an appliqued bog coat and bag, but in spite of the huge amount of time I have spent on it, it is still far from being done.

I always enjoy the Fair, it's a good place to connect with people I haven't talked to for a long time. And is uplifting.

I am going on the Climate March tomorrow too, or at least starting out, I am a little gimpy and may not be able to travel far. But starting out, or ending up, is what counts.
