2/8: taking a walk

...for the first time in nearly 3 weeks.  This has been a bad cold, and I think I may have turned the corner toward recovering now (knock on wood).

2/7: happening to catch

...the NPR short audio documentary about Margery Kemp on my drive home this afternoon (link here). I liked the way it was done.

2/6: using

...the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to find a webpage that I wanted to show my students but that has gone offline.

2/5: a smoother day

...than yesterday.  Yesterday wasn't bad, but Tuesdays are my busiest teaching day of the week, and yesterday I was feeling very hot-and-cold from my lingering illness, which made the day more taxing.  On top of that, I encountered some issues with students using AI, and that made me fret into the night.  But this morning I found a way out of the AI issue, my Latin class was nice, and my office-hour conversations with students were good.

2/4: seeing then smelling

...the first blooms of winter honeysuckle.

2/3: starting the day

...with music.  As I was drinking my coffee, I looked at the list of Grammy winners, and the title of one album caught my eye:  Rectangles and Circumstance by Caroline Shaw and Sō Percussion.  I found the title track online and listened to it, and then listened to the rest of the album as I was getting ready for work.

2/2: feeling

...like I'm finally recovering from a cold that I've had for 2 weeks.

2/1: fixing

...some chili I made last week.  It was too spicy to eat!  Today I made another batch, but without seasoning, and mixed it with the old batch.  Now we have eatable meals for the week ahead.
