Wednesday Musings

[kybearfuzz]

• Yesterday I took off a bit early to head home to work on my toilet. The handle and lever were rusted almost to nothing and I had to replace them both and the flapper. Anything involving plumbing or electricity annoys and concerns me, so I was prepared for a battle. After buying the necessary parts at Home Depot (yes, soooo cute... ), I came home and had it fixed in less than 15 minutes. When things go this easy, I immediately assume I did something wrong, but it all works. It went so quickly I didn't even have time to consider a photo essay of it like last time.
  
  
• With the funeral and my catching a cold over the last couple of weeks, I've not been to the gym hardly at all. I went Monday, but need to get back into the swing of it. I do miss running in warm weather though.
  
  
• Now that the third issue of the comic is posted, I'm in a drawing downtime. I do need to work on my Christmas card design soon.
  
  
• I've been listening to the audio book of David Sedaris' "Holidays on Ice" the last few days in the car. It puts me in a strangely festive mood.
  
  
• So what do you listen to in the car? Do you listen to audiobooks? What is going on in your mid-week universe??

I listed to NPR here sometimes, usually when I had a long car ride for work, but I find myself enjoying the audiobooks more these days.

Over the summer, I listened to the Harry Potter books on CD. It was great, since I was able to "read" and knit at the same time. However, I found that if I was really focused on a knitting problem, I had to go back a bit and listen to certain parts over again, because I tuned them right out while concentrating on the knitting.

I think that is why I like to draw while watching movies I've already seen. I can split my attention without missing anything.
