Kate’s cold continues with little sign of progress.\u00a0 She suffers, complains about not liking to be sick, but otherwise Norwegian’s through it all.\u00a0 She takes illness as a personal insult, something to be shrugged off if possible, if not, to work through and last something that requires rest and chicken noodle soup.\u00a0 She’s in the latter mode right now.\u00a0 Good for her.<\/p>\n
We skyped tonight.\u00a0 It’s Hanukkah so the grandkids had various gifts from doting grandparents and uncles and aunts.\u00a0 The literal hit of the evening was an inflatable t-ball set.\u00a0 Ruth took swing after swing, often swinging from her right shoulder and leveling at the ball.\u00a0 She’s co-ordinated for 4.\u00a0 Or, rather 4 and \u00bd. <\/strong><\/p>\n Her blond hair swirls, ringlets tumbling every which way as she performs couchnastics, a living room form of gymnastics that replaces gym equipment with the normal living room furniture.<\/p>\n My Latin is still here spread out on the desk beside me.\u00a0 This Ovid requires slow, laborious work.\u00a0 Look up words.\u00a0 Figure out forms.\u00a0 Check usage possibilities, verb tenses, noun declensions.\u00a0 A lot of back and forth with books and pages of help.\u00a0 I realized tonight that it’s a hobby, something I’m doing for fun.\u00a0 Weird, huh?<\/p>\n Winter has snugged us up in the house, the furnace and insulation our best friends just as the AC and the insulation are our best friends in the summer.\u00a0 I like winter because it provides all this darkness for desk work, darkness in which there are no outdoor chores.\u00a0 Therefore, no guilt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Samhain\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 New Winter Solstice Moon Midnight\u00a0 12\/6\/10 Writing this on Word since I’ve had no internet connection for a few hours.\u00a0 My limited number of tricks have not produced a link and I don’t have the patience for navigating so-called “customer service.”\u00a0 George Orwell would be proud of the internet and internet services industry.
