11/30: success

...with an early-morning trip to Staples to get printing supplies that ran out during a big printing job last night.  Hurray for Staples' website:  last night when I ran into trouble, I was able to see that they had what I needed in stock, so I could nip in this morning and get it.  One of the things was in storage rather than on the shelf, so if I had gone to the store without checking online first, I would have thought they didn't have it.

11/29: doing some good one-on-one work

...with a Latin student.

11/28: telling a friend

...about R. F. Kuang's Babel.  She immediately understood why it would interest both me and her.

11/27: making a second

...birthday card for a friend.  I made one earlier, but its colors ended up being less cheerful and celebratory than I thought they'd be.  I'm glad I gave it another go:  the new one's colors are a lift to the eyes (and hopefully spirit).

11/26: beginning to write

...cards for the Angel Card Project.

11/25: returning

...to some Moomin reading with Chris.

11/24: a big umbrella

...for walking in the rain.  Chris got it out of his truck so I could use it.  I didn't think I'd need its larger circumference, but I did.  I'm grateful he thought of it:  it made it possible for me to take my full-hour walk without getting too soaked.

11/23: going out

...on the lake in my kayak for the first time since August.  I was nervous, unsure of the impact on my poor TFCC, so I took it easy.
