two things that were good for me today

1) My former neighbors (who still own the unit next door and rent it out, and who are between tenants right now) came over to work on their unit to get it ready to rent again, and J the female half of the couple got out and cleaned up their side of the front flower bed for the winter, inspiring/guilting me into getting out there and cleaning up my side of the front flower bed, with bonus conversation and catching up.

2) I went to the monthly sew-in at one of my local quilt shops and was social for a couple of hours while quilting on the fall throw that was to go to my sister before we quit speaking to each other (not sure what I'm going to do with it now, but I want to finish it, anyway).

Too much of my life lately is solitary. I really, really needed to be social this week. I was sort of overwhelmed yesterday at the quilt show by strangers being nice to me, too.

Feedly appears to be down. The only information I can find says that they goofed up on a login issue requiring members to do things they don't want to do in order to access their accounts, and doesn't say when or if they'll be coming back up.

I hate web-based newsreaders with the passion of a thousand burning suns. If Feedly goes down, that'll be the third newsreader this year that's gone belly-up on me.
