Mar. 15th, 2026 09:30 amYesterday I taught a small workshop on making garden stakes at the pottery studio. In the other room the sculpture-only guy was mass panic-glazing his work (the hospital hasn't renewed his contract so he's leaving town permanently in a bit).
On the main floor the decorated paddle art exhibit was holding its opening, with storytelling and stuffed salmon and bannock. They had more food than people so I got surprise salmon and bannock, and chatted with folks, including someone who told me where some easily accessible clay was if I went at the right time of year (the lake has basically one big yearly tide, it goes way down in late fall/early spring, and way up in late spring/summer as the snow in the surrounding higher areas melts and flows into it).
On the upper floor was a class learning floor looms.
Most of the town was probably at the ski hill doing the everest challenge, which I imagine is some sort of distance ski, or on the lake skating, skiing, biking, dogsledding, skijoring, kicksledding, or walking. It was sunny out with little intense occasional snowbursts, as far as I could tell from the basement studio.
In my haste to get myself out the door in time for the workshop, I forgot to take one of my add-back hormones.
Today, although my body feels as expected and my mind is very slow, I am emotionally bouncy, er, that is, happy in a bouncy lighthearted sort of way.
Is this because:
-social and out of the house
-light returning and sun
-those pills are bad for emotions
-not doing the paperwork I'm supposed to be doing so PDA is less relentless than normal
Another day, another data point. It's a great town, though. We even have a coffee shop at the moment, though the population is generally too small to support one so they don't often stick around.
