The cowl is finished.  It won't be worn over my nose, obviously,  but that was the best way to show the color graduations.  My next project?  Who can say? Just a day of laundry and errands, though when you have to avail yourself of a laundromat, laundry is an errand.  Tomorrow is Briton's birthday, but he has lots of plans on his own, so I doubt I'll see him.  I do plan on going to vote early, so I'll seeing if I can make an adventure out of that.

A sunny and very breezy day here.  If the leaves weren't still green, I'd call it a perfect Autumn one. And finally Would you rather spend a day with Jane Austen OR Spend a day with William Shakespeare?* *Though Austen might be delightful company, I'd choose Shakespeare, just to see how --- and how quickly --- he writes.

 Would you rather spend the rest of your life in a library OR in a museum?* (You know,  The Morgan  in NYC is both.) *Simple.  Library.

You "can" be trapped in a room full of snakes OR you "can" be trapped in a room full of spiders.*  Ooooooh. . .   Spooooooky. . . Halloween is no big thing for me.  Never has been.  And I always cringe when it's referred to as a "holiday."  A holiday is when things are closed and you don't have to go to work.  I always had to teach on Halloween, so. . .  Yeah. This is now finished and ready for framing. That's probably as fast as I've finished a piece.  Another from  Subversive Cross Stitch .  Words and borders are pretty quickly done, and I do enjoy so many of their designs.  You can buy frames on the site, too, which I've done a couple of times, but didn't for this one. *Spiders.  They don't bother me so much.  🕷

We're nearing the end of What Would You Choose.  Prizes are boxed up.  As for today: Would you rather never sleep again OR never eat again? Now, I'm assuming, for game purposes, neither decision will prove fatal, nor harmful.  For me, I'd choose losing food over losing sleep.  I'm terribly dissatisfied with my weight, and I love a good snuggling down under quilts and blankets. The GIF was from "Bewitched."  Join me in having that theme song stuck in your head, won't you?

Who knows where yesterday's GIF came from?  Not the site where I got it, but its original source. . . Life has been turmoil this week.  Plumbing problems that had me calling a septic service, only to be told it needed to be tended to by a plumber.  My bank account/debit card was hacked again --- 3 times in a month.  Trip to the bank to try to get things under control, and hopefully they are.  All that's left is for me to have all the adrenaline and worry and stress to dump out, and to catch up on sleep. Waiting for the service guys, then waiting to turn water on and off and on while they were here, I did a lot of a cross-stitch piece. Only "You" and the rest of the border to go. I got gas yesterday, and the amount on the pump from the person before me was $148.39.  OUCH.  I realize it was probably a big van or truck, but still --- OUCH.
