pantryslut1. Simone startled me today by coming into the kitchen and announcing, "It's dinner time. I looked on the clock and it said it was time." She was right.
2. I confirmed that April is capable of, say, drawing a face,* she just doesn't want to because she does not have mastery of the skill to her own satisfaction yet. (She will have inherited this tendency from me.) I'm trying to encourage silly practice. ("Draw a circle. Draw another circle. Draw a squiggle. That's a face!") Also I am trying to teach her how to hold a pencil. This is hard, because I don't hold a pencil in a standard grip either -- my wrist is cocked, "like a leftie's." I may have to defer to the lads on this one.
3. Ridiculous workload deadline mania all the way through the weekend. Coupled with RSI flare-ups, of course. Of course. Plus less child care. And nice weather. And eyestrain.
4. PPO is on Saturday!
5. Let's let Brezsny have the last word:
"The past is headed your way bearing gifts, Leo. I recommend that you make yourself available for its blessings, which may be delivered to you in unexpected ways. For example: The spirit of a dead loved one could impart an enigmatic but useful tip in the middle of the night. An abandoned dream you assumed was gone forever might return from limbo to grant you a wish. A favor you did for someone long ago could finally be repaid. Are you ready to let history reward you in its own unique style?"
* Actually April drew her first face last year for Halloween, so I was not very concerned -- except about the possibility that she had regressed, which would be a very big deal.
