Critterfixer Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted January 10, 2021 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted January 14, 2021 Share 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. Hope to get back later and flesh out: school; RPG; chores; home organization stuff; fitness. 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?
