I could do a lot of (justified) whining and griping about this weekend … but why bother?  It doesn’t change anything …

So – instead … I will wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day(!) … be thankful for so many things … and focus on the week ahead (away from the ER, patients, families, visitors, coworkers, doctors, policies, mandatory competencies, etc.) …

I came home from a long, fairly painful weekend to some major studio heartache … I fired up the kiln with my Super-Sized Planet Earth blank … only to have it crack into several pieces … OUCH!!  Everything else in the slump came out well … and I realize my problem with the piece now … but – DARN IT!  Back to the drawing board …

I have figured out the limitations of what I CAN (and can’t) do with my 50+ pounds  of glass marbles … It makes me happy – playing with these little pieces that I turn into ‘bowls’ …  I have several dichroic cabs ready for fire-polishing.  I may get more badge reels listed as early as this week …

The pups are doing well – gaining and growing … My mom’s are going through the phases of whelping recovery in a predictable manner … Michigan is expecting sunshine and warmth – for a few days anyway …

Life is good …
