Some snow on the ground. Temperature moving from freezing to not. Roads clear. A cheerful getting off to school, and then my swim. I do my usual, but with less energy than I like. Yesterday, all the ups and downs of the stairs and moving things. Still, I enjoy my time in the pool, and my short time in the wet woods with the ice melting and the snow melting too. So peaceful. Driving to my swim the sky is so many shades of blue from light to dark and perriwinkle. The clouds swiftly departing make the sky so dramatic. I have poetry workshop in the morning and the evening on Monday. Helpful feedback in both. In between, I stay busy with admin and also I make dinner. Pizza and lots of vegetables. I enjoy myself. A nice balance today of being at the computer and being in the kitchen. Both give me energy. Frank is away but the house is full. Someone’s feelings get a little hurt while making the hot chocolate before school. First, I accidentally make Frank a cup of coffee, and he’s not there to drink it. I say I miss Papa, and the boy thinks I should not miss Papa, because I have him instead.
