RPM Challenge has been going pretty well. I had a pretty rough time of it last year but this year it feels comfortable and familiar again and I'm truly enjoying it. I've got 3 songs done for my album and 4 songs done for Clever Things, which is a band I have with an electro-synth musician from Portland. I need to remember to mass-spam everyone later.
I searched all over for basket weaving supplies but I couldn't find anything locally that would work so I've just finished placing an order online that will hopefully be here by the middle of next week. It was weird how just looking at some of the materials online brought everything back to me and I discovered I remembered almost all the measurements by heart (which![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
arcanelegacy had told me would happen but shuuuush). I'm really excited to teach the kids and excited to start weaving again in general. The supplies were much cheaper than I'd expected (my mom always ordered her reeds in MASSIVE quantities so I'm not used to seeing the price of normal, single-person orders) so this might be something I pick up again regularly.
...ya know. Because I clearly don't have enough hobbies as it is.
I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but the Sharon Creech book "Granny Torelli Makes Soup" was a giant disappointment. I am calling this a mulligan, as I adored her older books, but still. For my first Braille book I was really hoping for something more enjoyable. I can't even go into the synopsis of the book as literally NOTHING HAPPENS and trying to explain what little happens just makes the book seem even more awful (or maybe as awful as it actually was) so we'll just forget it never happened, k?
Got a new book called "I See the Moon" which so far is much, MUCH better. Also, my classroom teacher offered to let me borrow some of her books as she has single-sided Braille (which is a lot easier to read for someone who does it visually like me), so maybe in the future I'll be able to read faster.
Missed ASL class last week because I got a migraine and ended up sleeping all afternoon so I'm hoping I won't be too far behind tonight. We had a combined blind/deaf elementary field trip last Friday though and I did pretty well with the kids during our picnic lunch so that gave me some confidence :D
In other news, THE AVENGERS. I squeal in excitement over this movie almost every single night, I am not ashamed to say. May 4th can't get here soon enough!
