Critterfixer Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Morning. It's cold. But it's January and that's okay here. Today's goals: House: chores, spring cleaning planning (ugh) School: none, but I need to do a Latin lesson tomorrow and read Beowulf, and possibly start The Calamitous 14th Century again, because I love that book. The boys are starting Henle 3, and I realized I don't know enough about Cicero, so that's on my list of books to find. I'm thinking of picking up a few of his works and reading them for myself. Cooking: none today Writing: Editing, 2000 words on other manuscripts, personal reading Art: continue one project, start two others, art class today Exercise: Walk two miles 1 Quote
serendipitous journey Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Morning! Today is an assess / evaluate & plan day. I might update stuff here for my notes. Things to assess: school; school planning; fitness for boys & for me; rpg; home stuff; garden stuff; year planning, include something sort of marvelous. most urgent: get house organized and steady-state-ish. what's feasible? RPG: figure out what is feasible. I'd like get to a place of being non-urgent and with a finite amount of work per session. deliverables: campaign concept map; to-do list for each session with links / resources; basic physical maps for each place; essential challenges / adventures for each location. Feasible? school: ordered books &c. Oh my goodness that took a while, and I'd already done most of the work ... for tomorrow: contact used book store RE an installment plan for some books for DH.

serendipitous journey Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Afternoon back at you! 🙂 Doing okay today, though RPG took an insane amount of time. Sigh. I'm _finally_ getting a handle on prepping the adventures, and one of my players very graciously is running the game for a week or two to give me a breather so that will help. This is my boys' only non-family community at the moment, so it is worth extraordinary effort to keep the group together; but I absolutely need to cut back the time it takes each week. I've been working toward that and am making progress, thank goodness! For now: clean like mad; do a quick memory review with boys before sending them off for chores. Dinner, run RPG. Notes for tomorrow so I get going promptly: Up earlier (with DH). School: Start by working with younger on science for 1 hour. Math for both boys; languages for both boys; English too. Chores & RPG. What for dinner? and fitness all around. Edited January 12, 2021 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote

serendipitous journey Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Morning! That is a big day. Esp. with going to town; that always seems to take a chunk of time here, even though we're quite close to town. Kicking it off with migraine management.

Have no earthly idea what dinner will be tonight, but it'll be early so we feed younger before his 6pm online piano lesson. Hugs all around! why not?
