ugh…so it’s been a while since an update and frankly, things have been fairly underwhelming in April.  This is possibly the worst April yet of my life…since I don’t usually remember this month.  It has one week to redeem itself.

This month has been a combination of poorly executed  interactions with people and general disarray.  Plans going not as planned…high hopes being quashed…lots of ups and downs happening in quick succession, and not getting my way due to one reason or another.  This is in almost every aspect of my life, too!  Like, what is going on?!  I have one shred of hope left on a work decision that is totally out of my hands, but could have enormous promise, so I’m still keeping my fingers crossed there.

I blame it all on my planets, but really, I need to heed them and work with them.  All that being said, I have, however managed to salvage a bit of fun.  Here are some photos from things around town this month that brought a bit of joy to me.

Firstly, I saw an interestingly coloured squirrel!  It was like a gradient from black to brown, so I’m calling it gradient squirrel.  Super cute.

Also cute are the plump little sparrows looking for food.  These guys were so tame it almost seemed like they were posing for me.  Even standing in a neat, evenly spaced line.

Next is the the fun sign I saw in someone’s car window.  Amusing, but intentional.  I decided to take a photo of it anyway.

Lastly, I was at a coffee shop where there were dispensers for milk and cream.  They didn’t have one for smiley faces even though the sign said so!

I’ve been noticing recently that a lot of people have been using and overusing the word “legit” as a descriptor.  Most of these people I hear saying it are younger and I’m convinced that it’s the new hot word this year!

Just a quick post of some nautical necklaces that I made.  I feel like something is missing…but can’t put my finger on it!  I think they’re still good enough to wear though.

The maroon one is my own design.  Was just messing around with knots and this asymmetrical beauty came from it!

Not quite a full-on post on love and romance, but yesterday I was walking around town and spotted these two spring squirrels sitting together.  It was the sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

A black squirrel and a grey squirrel sitting together in the middle of a patch of grass, just being together.

Just makes my heart melt!

It was cloudy today…and difficult to reel my mind in.

I’ve had this thought before, but I wish I really had some sort of schooling where the result of learning was physical skills.  Not thinking skills, but making skills.

It’s difficult to find the right person who can click with you and teach you a skill you want to learn.  All the while helping you with the utmost patience.  Am I just not attracting the right people?
