I’m getting a little better with the beadwork, though I still have a ways to go. The beads I have are not uniform in size, so making a pattern work well is pretty much impossible. But I learned about the difference between threads and the kinds of tools to use, and these earrings hold up much better than the first pair I made. I want to make more!

I ran 31 minutes today, which is the longest I’ve run since starting to run again. I didn’t want to. I even came all the way home before deciding to go back to the gym. I wanted to give up at least four times, including with two minutes left. But I did it. Could I do it again? Of course I could. Will I? That’s another question. My next long run is supposed to be four miles, which I think is hilarious because I haven’t even managed to run three miles. We’ll see. Any amount of running is a success. Today just showing up at all was a win. And that I did.

I made this bracelet tonight and it was beautiful, and about 15 seconds after I took this picture, all the beads fell onto the floor and now it is just string. Yay.

I had a productive day. Made the bed, cleaned the kitchen, went for a run, got coffee, picked up prescriptions, went to the library, went food shopping, made meatball subs for dinner, and taught myself bead threading. It’s tedious and time consuming, so right up my alley.
