serendipitous journey Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Evening! Today went well enough; we ended up focusing on "Santa's Workshop" art kits, which served purposes, so that was good. Fitness is happening; I kept a migraine at bay; and my sleep is gradually improving. Hurrah! Left for the evening: boys watch some videos; I exercise & drop a line to a friend. For tomorrow: history, perhaps, plus basics OR I may run some errands; fitness as usual; PM piano lesson for younger; pasta for dinner, either alfredo or with some sort of creamy butternut squash sauce. 2 Quote
