A few more
It’s 10:14, and all I have to show for my morning is a made bed, a planed and rehung door, and this post. Meh. It could be worse, I suppose.
New books
Because of the unexpectedly icy conditions, it took nearly two hours to walk just four miles this morning. An inch and a half of snow on Halloween! Many trees still have most of their leaves, so the remainder of our fall cleanup will be a wet mess. I’ll think about it tomorrow. Or Saturday.
Roman
My final stop at the Met last Monday.
Re-entry
A few new books.
My post-vacation “re-entry” included several naps and oversleeping the usual morning alarm twice, but I’ve mostly returned to the rhythms and routines of regular time: Following an eight-day break, I resumed music practice. (Given how well the first two sessions went, I wonder if a periodic respite might have some merit.) Following an unplanned re-read of the delightful From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (we just visited the Met; how could I not?), I am now reading my second #Victober selection, Wuthering Heights. And my Latin homework is already on my desk for tomorrow.
