Good grief, what a day!

wiseheartDon't let the subject line mislead you: it was actually a very productive day, filled with tasks I had chosen for myself and that I enjoyed performing. So, let's see...
1) In the morning I folded and filled all 46 surprise boxes from yesterday. I'm up to 74 now. The minor goal is to get up to 100. The major goal would be around 120, for reasons that would be too complicated to explain (my "logic" rarely seems logical for other people), even if I could find the right expressions in English - for which I way too brain dead currently.
2) In the afternoon I've cut out parts to a few more felt Christmas ornaments I want to give a try: six-pointed stars for angels and five-pointed stars for Santas. Those will be for my own entertainment and for our own Christmas tree, so making them isn't urgent. In the process, however, I've produced some more felt rests, of which tiny little stars and even more felt baubles were made. Yes, I know. No, I can't help myself. There'll be photos, eventually.
3) Later on Mum and I went for a walk - a fairly long one for her. We almost got to the church at the end of our street, which has been her goal for a while now. Perhaps in a few days... if the weather cooperates. *fingers crossed.
4) In the evening I processed the grapefruits for the marmalade that will be made tomorrow (the fruit needs to rest for a night). That took about two hours and caused an unholy mess. But I have high hopes for the marmalade-to-be.
When I was done butchering the grapefruits and was no longer sticky with fruit juice, we had supper. Then my friend Evie called, which was nice. And now it's late evening again and another day is over. Why does time fly by so quickly?
