It was an odd, bordering on strange, day that began when I woke in the dark at 5:54 and voluntarily exited the bed. Most days, I grudgingly awaken to the alarm on my phone at 6:30 and then tap the snooze button until 7:00 or later. I have no idea what inspired me to arise so willingly so early, but I dove into the day with a mug of warm water followed by coffee and breakfast (fried egg with cheese on an English muffin), Wordle, many games of Duolingo chess, and Words with Friends. And then, suddenly, it was 9:00. And 10:00. And 2:00.

| All pieces cut! |
With no solder on hand, I was hesitant to do much glass work,
but I finished the glass cutting on the crescent moon started Monday. I also had
the sense to photograph the completed pieces. There are five panels ranging
from 4” by 6” to 8” x 10”, three crescent moons, four hearts, and five
poinsettias. Time was spent comparing prices and ordering solder, tinning wire,
and a handheld edge smoother. Supplies will be in-house by Friday.
The refrigerator, which was delivered on October 27, was finally registered on the manufacturer’s website. While putting the product info with the paperwork for household appliances, I found the estimate of needed car repairs from the Jeep dealership that I was looking for two weeks ago.
The local, independent garage that fixed my brakes and problematic lug nuts saved me $500 compared to the dealership estimate. In a month or two I’ll go back to the garage for the other repairs that were recommended. The reason I even found the garage was two weeks ago I needed gas and used the Waze feature for “gas near me” ranked by low to high price. I had driven past the station a million times in the past year (rough estimate) and never noticed the place. Now that they are on my radar, I expect to be visiting there regulalry.
