2/14: an abundance!

I woke up well before dawn and read for a couple of hours before falling back to sleep.  The reading was fun, but I was worried that the disrupted sleep would throw me off.  It didn't seem to--hurray!--and the day was filled with good things: 

- reading the NYT Book Review

- sitting with Tilde in my lap

- participating in a Zoom workshop about ekphrasis and fanfiction

- continuing to think and write about ekphrasis and fanfiction after the workshop

- taking a long walk in the falling snow

- drawing curves in the snow with my feet as I walked

- watching the ridge's puppies run around in their first experience of snow

- hearing geese piping differently in the winter storm

- having waffles with bananas, maple syrup, and whipped cream for dinner

- listening to Marissa Meyer's  "Little Android," an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "Little Mermaid"
