Day Sixty-Seven, Thursday Night

Another rainy day, another day of feeling chilly and a bringing with it, ennui brought about by grey skies and the endless drone of rain on the skylights, on the roof of the car, on pools formed by overwhelmed storm drains, but not for long.Time, indeed, stands still for no man or woman and my boy will be fourteen oh so soon. I have procured some small birthday presents for him, this year he says he really wants nothing but has made a modest list at my request, so I have obtained the small items he has asked for, and now I must wrap them before his birthday.

I did also volunteer in Primo's classroom again today, I assisted with a cooking project, the kids made a kale salad with apples and pomegranate seeds. It was delicious and the kids (mostly) liked it. I also managed to make it to the grocery store and pick up supplies for dinner, and we have had night three-in-a-row of dinner at home. It may seem a foolish triumph but eating out is absolutely one of my biggest weaknesses, and tonight, even though I felt there wasn't enough time, I made dinner anyway. And everyone liked it! Other than that, no huge accomplishments, finding comfort and guidance from my sisters and now my own true love has fallen asleep on the sofa, so I am off to bed. Goodnight!

rain, rain....
