1/8: finishing up

...my online conference-going.  I enjoyed both panels that I listened to today, so that was a particularly nice way to end.

1/7: icing

...the Epiphany teaberry pig cookies which we made yesterday evening.  I didn't add lemon extract to the cookies themselves this year, and I missed that taste to balance the teaberry, so I mixed some lemon with confectioner's sugar and gave each little pig a coat.

1/6: talking with my sister

...about some unhappy things that happened with my conference presentation today.  I am grateful that she picked up the phone and put her evening on hold in order to talk with me.

1/5: visiting

...Woolly Hollow with Chris. It had been quite some time since I had gone! I forgot my boots, so we didn't linger by the bigger creek and cascade, but we enjoyed walking along the smaller Gold Creek.  Chris made little movies of the water, and I took pictures.

1/4: receiving

...some specialty paper I had ordered. The company inadvertently sent it to the wrong address; I noticed this when I looked at the tracking information I had been sent. I contacted them about the problem, and they were able to get the package re-routed so it arrived at the correct address today. I was worried that it was going to be a rigamarole to get the order refunded and/or resent, but it ended up being quick and smooth, delayed only by business closures for the New Year holiday.

1/3: sweet air

...this morning after a very stormy night.

1/2: working through

...photos I've taken over the past few weeks when I've gone down to the dock for sunset.

1/1: collaging

...with some old calendars.
