6/5: walking in the evening
...instead of the morning. Recently it's been wiping me out for too much of the afternoon when I've walked in the morning, even when I've walked on the treadmill inside where it's cool. If I get wiped out after walking in the evening, it may help me sleep better.
6/4: watching
...two short animated films: Pegasus narrated by Mia Farrow (from 1991) and Orson Welles' presentation of Plato's allegory of the cave (from 1973). They were mentioned in an online conference I went to on Saturday, and happily they are both available on YouTube.
6/3: returning soon
Tilde the Cat had a hypoglycemia episode: not a good thing. Chris took her to the emergency vet clinic this evening while I stayed with the other cats at home. The good thing: she got treatment, and they are now on their way back.
5/31: playing
...a new-to-me card game with Chris: Five Crowns. I have a few favorite card games: Skip-Bo, Quiddler, and a form of contract rummy that we called "Schnitzel" growing up (but that isn't what other people call Schnitzel). I was looking for a new game and searched for reviews online. Five Crowns came up as a possible good match. It has some aspects of Quiddler (though not with words) and some aspects of contract rummy, so it fits in the family, but it's also it's own thing, and I'll look forward to playing it some more.
5/30: a Daphne
...who is transformed not by her river-god father but by Gaia, the earth. Gaia as fairy-godmother? Also worthy of different punctuation: Gaia as fairy-godmother! (This version is in Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls from the Greek Myths by Zanna Davidson and Rosie Dickins.)
