4/6: being relieved

...that one of the cats didn't swallow a little toy that I worried they had.

4/5: having stollen

...for breakfast.  I made it yesterday but didn't try it until this morning.  It baked well (which was particularly happy, since the stollen loaves I made at Christmas and New Year were less successful, though still good).  Before putting it in a tight container last night, I drizzled it with a lemon juice + powdered sugar glaze (something I usually forgo in order to cut down on sugar), and it was the right extra touch.

4/4: waiting

...until today to read yesterday's poem in A Poem for Every Day of the Year.  When I opened the book yesterday morning and saw that it was a multiple-page "nonsense" poem by Edward Lear, I felt like I wasn't in the right place to read it and enjoy it.  This morning I was.

4/2: some beauty

...at the end of a very unsettling day.  As some lucky relief, for my last bit of work this evening I got to read the end of Hawthorne's Wonder Book. 

4/1: no new grammar lesson

...in Latin class today.  We needed a breather, and we spent the day working on translations together.

3/31: considering

...a rabbit in a vase painting with a scene from the life of young Hermes. 

3/30: making

...a double batch of fried rice in the morning so that I could take it to school for lunch today and tomorrow.
