Today's optional question:

Do you tend to put deadlines on your crafty projects? Or do you enjoy starting and stopping and finishing whenever?

Today really wasn't a great day, but I did make one of the batches of cookies I was supposed to, I got the bird feeders refilled, I made it to the store to get some things I needed, I got a couple non-crafty items off my to do list, and I had a minor breakthrough with the cats I'm taking care of. One of them has issues with people in general, like she wants her needs met, she just doesn't want to interact, but I briefly had both of them on the couch with me at one point, though when Miss Mimi realized I could perceive her, she ran off.

Re: optional question: I avoid putting deadlines on my crafty projects. Some naturally haven them due to challenges, birthdays, holidays, etc, but I do not self-impose deadlines if at all possible. It's not a strategy that works for me, when things happen, self-imposed deadlines are the first things that get thrown to the wayside, and all they really accomplish is stressing me out.

You achieved things though! You baked! Feeding the birds is important, and the cat breakthrough, though short, was great!
