Well, I Did It Again

This post has some life happenings, some thoughts, and some deja vu.

Affinity Design Software

Affinity is a company that basically makes Adobe’s software but not subscription based. Adobe has InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Affinity has Publisher, Photo and Designer. They offer their programs for Mac, iPad, and Windows. I bought their Affinity V2 Universal License on a Black Friday sale. I really like how professional the iPad versions of the apps are. The apps are amazing on any device.

The one on the right is the original with no edits and the one on the left was edited. The one on the left I adjusted for a bluer tint so the fog works. I also used inpainting, cloning, and healing to get rid of the branches and other unsightly spots. I have used these or similar pictures as a background, but I think they will look even better without the branches.

School

Before Thanksgiving break it felt like I would get home and do only the bare minimum and school just felt like a slog. I don’t know what changed but now it feels like I get more done. I feel so much better after I’ve done my homework in the evenings. Speech is still making me nervous though.

Oh Deer

Yes. I hit another deer. This time in the new car. I was driving down the road at night with the rest of the family and two deer were standing in the middle of the road. I swerved but we still hit one. I hit it on the front right again. It’s been almost exactly two months. Nearest I can tell I hit the first one October 3. It was within a quarter mile of where I hit the other one. I’m not sure if I attract deer or deer attract me.

Saturday

Our church youth had a woodcutting this morning. Nearest we can tell we did eleven truckloads plus a nice stack. Afterwards we had pizza.

We went to a Christmas concert in Stanardsville. We got home around 12.
