4/1: reading
...the students' comments on one another's altered pages. They were perceptive and generous.
3/31: dropping
...a big mailing of pamphlets (40-ish envelopes) into the post office blue box this morning.
3/30: a sweet hour
...or so this morning. I was drinking coffee and reading. One cat was in my lap, one was in a cat-bed on a side-table next to my chair, one was on my footrest, and one was on the chair opposite mine. We were quiet, content, and cozy. As I read and they dozed, I finished The Ellsworth Assortment series by Christina Dudley. It ended with a celebration of family, and that felt fitting because the cats and I were having our own sort of celebration too.
3/28: closely reading
...translations a friend had sent me, one a passage from Tacitus, another a passage from Thucydides.
3/27: cleaning
...the outside of the big windows in our main room. It's something that Chris usually does, but I figured I could do it too. So I did.
3/26: medicinal gin
I'm trying not to drink much alcohol these days, substituting Shirley Temples and other mocktail (not a word I like) concoctions, but today my arthritis was especially bad, and Chris suggested that I try just a tablespoon of gin, since it often helps. And it did, even just a tablespoon.
