2022 Project 365 – Week Five

Well, it is now February and I am HERE FOR IT. Because that means we’re that much closer to spring and warmer weather, which I will enjoy briefly and then go back to complaining. The Circle of Life!
Sunday, January 30^th      
Stopped by the ‘rents house to work a puzzle. And visit with them, of course. Of course!
 

I…. can’t believe I’m saying this. The Bungles Bengals are going to the Super Bowl!

No photo.
 
Tuesday, February 1^st  
This isn’t a new photo, but since I didn’t have one for today I thought I would share it. I’m doing a project on Instagram & Facebook for Black History Month. I won’t share pictures each day here (I’ll put a link instead if you’d like to check it out), but here’s my caption for the first day:
 
I wanted to do something to mark Black History Month, but I’m not an educator or a person who feels confident in sharing knowledge about black history. So I came up with an idea that may or may not actually work. I’m a little nervous about it, but here goes!
 
To honor Black History Month I’m going to introduce you to accounts of some of the fabulous black women that I follow. They’re creators, scientists, therapists, comedians, educators, and women who are just trying to live their lives and making me smile in the process. Some of them tell hard truths (most of them LIVE hard truths), but I think it’s important to listen.
 
For day 1, I’m sharing my gorgeous niece who recently turned 20 years old (WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HECK) and whose birthday card is sitting right beside me because that’s who I am as a person. She’s an athlete who amazes me with her talent. She’s driven to do the best she can, and her best is amazing. I’m so proud of her!

Saturday, February 5^th       
I did the (this time I promise) final photo shoot for the temperature blanket. I added a row of navy & I do like it better. It could maybe benefit from an even wider border but I AM DONE. Now I just have to arrange to meet up with the person who I’m giving it to.
 

I stayed up way too late last night going through the materials for last Thursday’s anti racism class (oops). What was eerie is that the case study they discussed in one of the lectures was about Trayvon Martin, whose 27^th birthday would have been yesterday. So since I was slack, I was hearing an analysis of his murder case on his birthday. Cue Twilight Zone music. I also finished weaving in the ends on this mini-shawl/scarf situation (it’s the shawl I was trying to make last summer where I used the wrong weight of black yarn so it ended up being too small. I didn’t frog it – figured I could find someone who would like it as a scarf.).
 

Meet Lou Pruett here!
 
I went to church today for the second Sunday in a row and I have to go again next week (I’m the lector). I’m in danger of harkening back to my 8 days a week and twice on Sundays youth. Did you grow up as a churchy child? If not, what did you do on Sunday mornings? I really applaud my parents for getting us out the door because if I were in charge now we’d be watching it on the telly in our jammies!
