Chair

Slept. Feeling like I'm fighting off a virus, cold sore and all. Could just be fatigue, after the last month of rushing. Back-of-the-headaches I can't seem to shift. Offered a day off next week, gladly accepted Monday.

Dim sum at the Hong Kong Tea House, brought home the extra order of sticky rice in lotus leaf, aromatic and tasty, nourishing, reheats perfectly. Ran a series of errands, first to The King's English bookshop to redeem D's parents' gift card.

D fascinated by this book that came through his hands at work at the library. In no small part wondering how the various cataloguing and circulation processes will work with all its bits and pieces.

I spotted this one, and had a nice talk with the bookshop lady about both.



Cat food, and litter since we were there, laundry soap - refilled at a local green-eco oriented shop, a few groceries, sand for the ice sheet that is our driveway between the houses.

Today is a good day to thaw out the thickest of the ice, sun and smog.

I may have had too much tea.

We've had above 0C today so some good melting took place to help with the ice. Good news about the day off next week, I get back to work on Thursday next week.
