Fairy House

Forewarned -- regular rock pictures coming your way.  This is the rock I found in the park.  I painted a fairy house.  It was fun to have an odd shape and figure out what it could be -- just like the great artists of the world lol.  Now I have a new interest -- rock hunting.

I painted all sides -- including little flowers on the left/right sides and trees on the back. 

Spanish class was good and I spoke to her about options for private tutoring.  We emailed a few times and then chatted after class.  She says she'll offer whatever I'd like, but she would recommend taking Level 3 and adding private hours IF needed.  She also suggested doing a private hour before I made a decision because some people prefer the structure of the class vs private tutoring.  Solid advice.  Guess I'm STILL going to be in classes.  I am learning and that's so exciting, but it's PRESSURE (self-made) and I was looking for a bit of a break (but didn't want a 6 week break).  Also, she said I'm doing fine -- totally average speaking and above average on the rest.  I take an extra beat to speak -- also need a little tweak on pronunciation, both no big deal.

Guess I'm really learning Spanish -- what?!?!?

In other news, my aunt and uncle are traveling through ATL after snow birding in Florida.  I've been asked to entertain them on Saturday because most of the family is out of town and my other aunt needs a break lol.  Looks like we're all gathering at my son and DIL's house for an afternoon and dinner.  Something unexpected on the calendar.

I used the Cheer Up list again yesterday and it's feeling good.  It also adds a perk to the morning to start planning what I'm doing on the list.

BTW, went to start exchanging the soil for the stand-alone potting bed and the roots had rotted so the soil is fine.  A good dose of fertilizer and we should be in business.  I also got a deck railing planter for fun.  Maybe herbs, maybe flowers.  I ordered this book too -- taking my knowledge up a few notches this year.

Definitely pulling out the funk -- finding little bits of fun.  My back hurt a lot going to bed and I think I need to take the RX NSAID earlier in the evening.  I'll try that tonight.  

My car is a saga and who knows when I'll get it back.  Guess I'm driving the rental this week.  So much for a 3 hour service on Friday.  Grocery store today -- maybe even Trader Joe's if I'm feeling well.

Time to rock paint :). Later gators.
