Reimagining myself in New England, after living so many other places. Containing multitudes.
It is snowing against my will but at least it's not 5°F. Tomorrow morning will be rough. I still liked slishing around in it.

Everyone. I finally cleaned all of the kitchen, not just small parts. I also made a very awesome lunch, washed a bunch of hands wash only stuff I've been putting off and have everything for tomorrow ready to go. Now I just need to stop reading and sleep (no I never even got a nap this evening).

I opted to make the lunch I didn't make last night and get the new door decorations ready for the classroom that I failed to do over break. Everything now smells like mandarins no matter how much I've washed my hands.

This is not the day to lay awake in the dark from 4:30am until the alarm goes off at 7am. I don't want this. Going to keep trying to sleep though.

We went to the last night of holiday lights at the local museum in Shelburne. It's filled with Americana, especially old relocated buildings and a huge steamboat that in summer you can go inside but in winter they do this insane outdoor light exhibition.

I am trying for small actions that make the house better. There's still lots of sad deferment happening that was not helped by the derailment of the Great Victorian Illness.
