My New Year's Day

No football, no parades.  I made a peach streusel cake for PG, and she made a pot of potato-ham soup for us.  She approved of the cake, and I had a second cup of soup.  

We had cats on our laps at various times.  She watched some BritBox and some Acorn TV.  I watched instructional videos on the laptop, and learned a little more along the way.  

All that, and the usual chores.

Wait, one more thing.  With info from HQ, I wrote a first and second draft of my monthly assignment.  The photos are already uploaded, and I'm waiting for one more piece of information before turning it in.

I have felt like getting out of bed to download and process photos.  When I have enough information, writing is not difficult.  I feel in control.  Photography and writing are good skills to have in my volunteer role.

Decades ago, drawing was difficult and not much fun.  I might draw a line and then decide to erase it - what a waste of time.  I didn't have the skills to achieve what I felt the drawing task required.

With a text editor, I write what I want, and if I decide to remove it, I just shift it elsewhere in the file, because I might change my mind or decide those words would fit perfectly well in another part of the document, or maybe in another version in another month.
