Domestic Tranquility

Tidy and domestic

I have made a resolution to spend less time on the computer.  I know it's my own fault, but I find that it can eat up hours that I think might be better spent reading or writing or doing just about anything else.  And honestly, I don't think I can bear one more over-the-top Donald Trump antic posted to my news feed.

After resolving to do this, I have had two wonderful days in my house.  The weather has not been really conducive for hiking or being outside for hours on end.  Mondays are sleepy and shuttered as it is, so there's no real incentive to go "window licking."  I have made soup, done some spring cleaning, done a bit of writing and generally accomplished some chores. I have enjoyed fruitful practice sessions on both the piano and the dulcimer.

 I get why men want wives--someone to keep the house calm and running well makes for a happy disposition.  

No question where out food originates!

Today I went back to the beauty school and had a new student practice her coloring skills.  I am happy with the results and especially happy with the price.  I figure that nothing really can go wrong, as an instructor always casts a discerning eye over their work.  So now, when I sit in with the Irish group, I can be an Irish redhead.
