1/16: looking closely
...at the opening paragraph of the first Harry Potter novel today with students, and enjoying hearing their comments on the words and how they work.
1/14: early morning reading
I woke up around 4 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. I'm feeling the effects of that this evening---so tired. But this morning it was fun to read in bed until I had to get up.
1/13: progress
...on clearing my home office. It feels like a constant struggle, and I've written about it an embarrassing number of times here over the years. But I'm finally beginning to realize what kind of shelving and storage might really help me to make lasting (and maintainable) sense of it all.
1/12: looking back
...on the past month (almost) of break. It included 18 books read, 63 miles walked, many good meals eaten, and lots of hours spent with Chris and the cats.
1/11: getting my hands dirty
...by making some little clay things with Chris. They'll dry over the next 10 days and then we'll fire them outside.
1/10: good news
A friend got good health news today, and I enjoyed celebrating with her at a distance by talking with her on the phone during a long afternoon walk.
1/9: nearly done
...with my pre-semester reading. I had more than 1500 pages to get through, and I'm in the home stretch of the last 200.
