list of things makes a post

1. Today is Take Your Kid to Work Day. Ox is still feeling puny (head cold plus - I suspect - pollen allergies), so Downwood will be dropping off Emi and taking Ox home. No need to share/pick up more germs than necessary. Emi is beside herself. So excited.
2. Speaking of Emi, we've started reading chapter books at bedtime. So far, they've all been illustrated, but some have only a couple pictures per chapter. Exciting stuff. We started uruslav 's latest (Castle Hangnail) last night. I'm trying to read a couple chapters ahead so that I'm ready for what's coming up.
3. I joined a call today just to be helpful. This is a mistake. My eye is twitching. I don't like people who choose to be loud and belligerent just to make a point. Be polite, people.
4. I started playing GW2 again. Just a bit. I don't have any goals, so it's not the same feeling as before. M'eh.
5. I worked on my Hemming Pile Of Doom last night. I had my bobbin run out and then one of my spools of thread (dual-needle hemming) ran out. So I just finished that one hem and gave up. Also, I need to see if I have another spool of plain black thread. I don't particularly want to drive up to a fabric store soon, but I might have to.
6. There is no six.
7. German pronouns and articles are of the devil. Yes, I understand the noun gender concept - I took Spanish and Latin - but the German nouns tend to not make sense in my head. Argh.
8. I have done some complicated, good work today. I'm going to put on some tentacle nail wraps now and not speak my mind on this call or the next.
