Literacy classes, writing, and the sugar-glider
So I've been guiding the conversation classes for two weeks now, and I'm getting into the groove of them. There's a different set of people each time, anywhere from 8 to 13 people, depending on who shows up. Yesterday our topic was food, which ended up being a lot of fun. We even had a short field trip to a nearby international grocery store, looking at the fruits and vegetables, as well as the diverse array of things in cans, noodles, soft drinks, and sauces. Next Tuesday is finances, which will perhaps be less fun, but certainly is something that everyone needs to know.
I've been working exclusively on the knitted sugar glider over the past week- even though I'm pretty close to being finished with the second sleeve on my cardigan.
The two triangles are ears- I have to figure out how to sew them on. Could be very interesting.
I got the beta on my Ron/Draco as well, but I'd like to think about a couple of her suggestions before posting it. I'd also like to get back to writing on the Tolkien story, though with family coming to visit, I'm not sure how much writing I'll get done this weekend. Maybe Sunday evening I can dedicate to that. True to before, when mowing the lawn (as I did this morning) I had thoughts come to me about the story, which always helps.
In an unrelated topic, I was in a chat this morning and the subject was about courage. As part of it, the moderator suggested writing down a fear to be overcome, then list 10 variations of what could happen if this fear was approached, with the #1 variation being the least anxiety producing to #10, which would be the most anxiety producing. The idea is then to set a goal to achieve item #1 in the list, and slowly work your way through, eventually eliminating the fear through experience and/or research. I've recently written down a list of 30 things I want: want to have, want to experience, want to have present in my life, and as a part of that, I think I'll focus on one that I may be held back from pursuing due to fear. Especially a concrete want, though many things I wrote down were fairly general/esoteric.
With that, I'm off to watch something and make 'fur' on the wings of the sugar-glider. :)
