monday chicken

1) I attempted to upgrade my laptop to the newest Linux Mint, was foiled by hubris, & have spent the last several days fixing that problem, to my EXTREME ANNOYANCE;

2) I finally caught u on DW again, mostly, more-or-less, ish;

3) I made a LOT of pendula while waiting for various things involved in #1 to finish up;

4) I made a REALLY great big piece that I'm REALLY happy with while out in the woods Tuesday, which will get posted soon;

4) & I'm about to make a BUNCH of soap

also I would like to be not tired once in my life, ever, for five minutes; that would be great
