6/7: returning
...the new printer that wasn't working. I spent a good amount of time on the manufacturer's help line (to no avail), and then I discovered another thing that wasn't working about it. The store where I bought it was willing to let me return it without all of the original packaging, so I'm calling that a win.
6/6: making
...a birthday card for a friend, and liking the way it came out.
Also: making connections between an article I read this morning (on the depiction of alternative education in children's literature) and the seemingly unrelated research I'm doing this summer (on closing images in illustrated or graphic novel versions of the Odyssey).
6/5: 3 good things combined
...this morning: sitting on the porch with the cats in the cool air, doing quiet writing, and focusing in my writing on analyzing images (from Marcia Williams' retelling of the Iliad and Odyssey).
6/4: getting
...Tilde's insulin. It took 4 trips to the pharmacy plus some phone calls and texts to get everything sorted out, but through it all the pharmacy staff was friendly and helpful.
6/3: learning
...how to make an origami mini-book this morning. I used the tutorial for "Method 2" here: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Origami-Book (I already knew how to make the "Method 1" book). I used scraps of origami paper I had on hand, and the result is colorful. I've left it standing up, fanned out, on the table all day so that it can make me smile when I walk by it.
6/2: returning
...to Artforum. I've let the issues pile up, and now it's a pleasure to-be-deferred no longer.
6/1: thinking
...about fragments and closure--two things that are often on my mind literature-wise but that I hadn't connected until today.
