my life in list form

• Snow. It started while I was at my history class on Tuesday and stopped around midnight. It melted almost completely yesterday.

• Pukey child. Poor C caught a tummy bug and threw up every hour all night long on Tuesday. (the better to keep tabs on the snow, I guess). She spent Wednesday enthroned on the couch alternating between watching videos one after the other -- she only gets to do this when she's sick -- and sleeping. Her marked improvement happened Wednesday evening while I was at the store spending fifteen precious dollars on Gatorade and sundry other sick-person food, having been unable to do so earlier due to the combined forces of the sick child (couldn't see myself bringing her in the store) and the snow. She has now completely recovered and is in high spirits. Meanwhile I'm still a bit off due to lack of sleep.

• Good history test score. Yay! I am making a bit of a game out of this class. The idea is to see how well I can do in a class when I really try. Goodness knows I never found that out in high school.

• Ahem. The rough draft is not started yet. Not even one sentence. This is problematic. At some time when my kids aren't banging on the piano (making 'scary music', I think, is their goal at this precise moment), I will have to sit down and just dive into it. It's never as hard as I think it will be.

• I have not one but two memes in the works. I'm plotting them, anyway. You would be surprised, judging by how often I actually write in this thing, at how often I think about writing in it, but don't. Also, I should do my books today; I just realized this. They were all re-reads; it's been that kind of comfort-read sort of month.

• I actually wrote a pen-and-ink letter and mailed it. I haven't done this in ages. I should do it more often.

• Librivox is fun. I'm progressing with O Pioneers! and trying to talk myself out of diving into a bunch of O. Henry stories.

• Knitting is going along pretty well, actually. I finished the back of C's sweater (or... whose-ever sweater, since I'm not sure it's going to fit C and yes I checked my gauge but then she grew) and am about halfway done with the front. Then I will do the sleeves. THEN I will see how hard it is to assemble it. Maybe it will end up being my grandchild's sweater, knowing how good I am at assembling completed projects.

• That 'whose-ever' is so wrong. I know. But how else can you denote that? 'The sweater belonging to whomever' doesn't exactly flow either.

• Apparently a lot of people have the same problem with their iPods that I did, judging by my search hits in the last month. Dude, people, just thank Apple for the warranty and send the suckers back. My new-or-refurbished replacement is doing fine thus far.

• We put off the Beth Moore study for a while. We'll do it someday when our lives are less crazy. Like in, say, 2059. (Or this spring. Whatever.)

• Over the past few days, LT and I have finished all twenty-five levels of Silversphere. Click that link at your own risk; I will not be held liable for undone laundry or torn-out hair.

• And I think that's all. At least, that's all I have time to write.
