goldsmithing is off today due to illness. which gives me a full day in the home office to finish the JO trans. have been getting on my nerves lately because i’m not getting anything done. have been reading/watching various plays for the course, but that doesn’t seem to “count” in my head. probably because i’ve just been reading/watching them passively and still have no idea how they “work”. anyway…
