Today:

I realized that 2am's yelling and 5am's weeping were both flux. I pinged Purple at work and we -- "hugged it out" shouldn't be taken literally, but that's the closest short phrase I have.

"I'm a little confused why we're fist-bumping."
"Well, a handshake was too formal, and a hug ... this is work."
"Right. As long as we don't call it fisting."

And then I headed up into the city for the Quantified Self meetup. Double Union is a great space. I brought crocheting and made a freeform patch of lace.

Then I grabbed dinner, had a peaceful cup of hot chocolate, and came home.

Český granát | Bohemian garnet

Bohemian garnet, which can only be found in Bohemia, has always maintained a unique position among other garnet stones due to its unique, fiery red colour and the light refraction. 

Emperor Rudolph II  had many extraordinary pieces in his collection and the jewellery using Bohemian garnet has become increasingly popular, not only in the country of origin, but also across the frontiers of Bohemia - even adorning the dresses of Russian tsarinas.

The present-day manufacturer Granat Turnov has been continuing the tradition and spreading their publicity abroad. You can see samples of Bohemian garnet jewellery on the displays of renowned fine jewellery shops not only in Europe but all over the world.

As is traditional for my people
