Cold day and rush to campus

 Jhazley is shooting a pickup for her thesis film today. The lenses were missed from her equipment so I needed to abandon the guys at Geremy's (keeping in contact with zoom) and run home for my keys then to the university to help them out and back again. Very cold day but looking like it will warm again soon. 

Heather Cline party

Brought perogies to Heather Cline's Ukrainian Christmas party to compete with other perogies (alongside the cabbage roll competition). I failed to hold on to my trophy, losing out to some pretty decent perogies with a gimmick amount of haggis in each. I lost by one vote. If I was one to make excuses for myself, I might point out that my hands, in particular the pinching ability of my thumbs, is very sore and that I went to physio yesterday to have it looked at. It has made pinching perogies very difficult and I probably didn't make them as well as I usually would. Party was crowded and there was an unprecedented number of perogies there, probably about 7 or 8. 

Dentist

 Flossing every day is paying off. Teeth and gums are not only okay, but are improving. Extra x-rays today to make sure some of the old work is holding up well. 

Preparing for animation class

 The animation camera room was taken apart in the fall to remove asbestos and not entirely re-assembled so it looks like I need alternative plans for tomorrow's class. Even though I worked almost every day since classes ended, I only just barely caught up and didn't really get ready for this term. 

Coffee with mom and Shim

 
Drove mom and Shim around and did some shopping, starting with the quilting store (which had us on our feet for over an hour) so then to sit by the fire for coffee and rest up before taking them to Toys R Us and some Duplo Lego purchases for when Tate is a bit bigger. 

Carillon comics

 William still publishing in the Carillon. I think these are left over from last semester, but they have invited him to continue contributing until he official graduates in the spring. 

Classes started for me today. Felt a lot of anxiety for some reason. 

Double time painting

 Painted two versions of this 8mm camera today while William was drawing. Really getting into the rhythm of it. Wish I could do this every day.
