Fantastic picture of the child @Crazy Hitch! I love the way the eyes are looking off to the side. You have so much artistic talent!

My day has been good though I could have used about another hour of sleep. I took a jog this morning that felt wonderful, showered quickly then had grocery curbside pickup. I decided to drive our new car; well, it's a 2010 but it's new to us and has a lot more interior buttons and things to figure out than my 2004 Subaru. I haven't driven it much, just quickly the day we bought it, so I don't know how things quite operate. I started driving and the car was making a loud pitch continuous beep. I knew I was doing something wrong, pulled back into the driveway and saw the parking brake light was lit up. I had to pull out the manual to figure out how to unset the parking brake. Then I got to the grocery store and somehow I couldn't get the trunk unlocked; the store employee loading my groceries showed me how! I need to sit in there awhile with the car running and the owner's manual open to figure out how to do things in there. I really hope H will start driving my Subaru to work and let me drive the new car; the interior is super nice; it's only had 1 other owner, no accidents, and it was kept up practically like a new car inside. Outside there is some peeling paint and some hardly noticeable past hail damage, a cracked windshield, but our other 2 cars have had cracked windshields forever, so it's not a big deal.

I got the groceries unloaded & put away, finally read with the SAD lamp & had breakfast. I refilled meds for the week, and after lunch I painted a macaroon. Not sure how well it turned out. The guide book had you using only 2 colors of paint for the whole thing. I had to add a 3rd color in to help matters. I think I am officially in love with the color Quinacridone Red, and I am so glad I ordered the professional tube vs. the artist tube (professional is more expensive but I've found the pigmentation is so much brighter and you need to use a lot less of it than the artist grade.

I hope everyone has a great evening and a fantastic night's sleep!
