Swamp

 It was a chill, rainy, and foggy day.  I had hoped for an adventure and then remembered that I had errands to run.  The adventure will have to wait.  I did get out for a walk with Aesop, the dog.  We went to the swamp not too far from the house.  It was lovely.  Shrouded in fog and scattered with thin layers of ice, it is my happy thing for today.

Now I must prepare for the work week ahead.

American Indian Heritage Month

Including titles, I wrote 771 words today for NaNoWriMo. It is larger than my daily goal (350-400 words) and smaller than what I would want to do if my goal was the 50,000 total (~1667 words a day) that is suggested for adults. Yay! I started.  Other happy things for today:

• Aesop and I walked by the swamp today.  It looks beautiful.

Still some color reflecting on the water.

• TF brought my attention to today's Google Doodle.  It is about a Zuni person, We:wa.  This is the first day of American Indian Heritage Month.  One of the things that We:wa did was weave, and I do a little weaving too.  I found Behind the Doodle interesting too.
• Zed saved me from making a phone call.  As an introvert, calling companies to order things can be a huge anxiety trigger.  Zed made the call for me and I am very grateful.
