Most of the time. Still, I can now recognize shabbat in Hebrew and pronounce five letters. Slooooowwww. Next class with Joann Greenberg at 4:30.

This one requires some work between the box and the house, then a new modem, plus some inside changes at the jack, too. Faster is better and it&#8217;s much stronger wifi.

We have to be smarter about what mix of activities she does and what ones I do, yet we can&#8217;t set up a situation where she becomes housebound. Not good. A delicate balance. Right now we&#8217;re looking at the week ahead and trying to imagine how the week will challenge her, then planning for that. A transition to a new phase of life for us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samain\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bare Aspen Moon Finished chapter 1 in the Hebrew text, about half way through chapter 2.
