Critterfixer Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Morning! It didn't quite get the jump on me today. I had the window open last night and was listening for it.

I might! That's about it, but that sounds like plenty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Evening! Fairly successful day. House: 2 rounds of cleaning. Yay! Didn't get to my "zone" or my paper-cleaning-out. School: elder: science lab work (yay!), Latin class, math with me, literature. Younger: geography, Lego-building-project, math with me, science reading, handwriting, literature, English. So we did okay. Fitness: boys fitness done; I got a run in. Might try for some yoga/ballet stuff before bed, might collapse. Dinner was Vietnamese takeout, our RPG night usual; and then we RPGd. Yay! Tomorrow: Start with a round of fitness. Do math with everybody; hit history reading for elder and English for him, too, including writing. English, Latin, Greek, music and reading with younger -- as much of that as is reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Morning. Spent a nice Tuesday at the lake. Much needed and enjoyed. Today's goals: House: chores, kitchen sweeping and mopping. Cooking: pizza night School: usual Writing: 3000 to 4000 words over WIP, finish a chapter revision, Beta reading, prep a few sub packages to send this weekend. Art: sketching--possibly some painting, but it's very humid and the drying rate could be unpredictable. Still waiting on some art supplies to get here. Extra: COVID jab for the boys this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
