It's been a day of ominous undercurrents

It can be hard. Trusting someone else's judgement of our abilities over our own mistaken estimation

It takes some getting used to, but "Thank you" seems to be an appropriate response to praise.

I bought myself a few cd's. I'll have to see if they can sit in the tree.
On the whole, it's filling in pretty well so far. Tomorrow I'll be adding the little and littlest ornaments.

Little bit of that. This tree has these L-shaped branches. So there's a good space, but there's no branch above it!

It's been harder than usual to decorate. Lots of branches, but the wrong shapes and in the wrong places

as a foundation of the Abendland/the West. I figure not calling for widespread creation of Benedictine monasteries is that "civilizational erasure I was asking about yesterday

not feeling better yet?
