Wednesday, January 15

Totally normal day. No leg pain. Felt good. Worked, went grocery shopping with Andrew, made dinner--a new recipe from a cookbook I got for Christmas. Greta baked cupcakes for Mom's birthday tomorrow (visit is weather-dependent). Lucia had a late evening appointment with her new tutor, which went well. They worked on corrections to the dreaded physics test. 

I purged some bookshelves tonight (middle-grade books mostly from library sales that the kids never read). We are constantly bringing books into the house and there's no need to hang on to any we don't love or have a sentimental attachment to. The kids have their favorite middle-grade books, to be sure, and we'll never get rid of those. But the unread, overlooked middle-grade novels can safely be offloaded now. Andrew and I have been going through our own shelves as well. 

It was so cold here today but it's the strangest thing--I just don't feel it. Andrew and I took Farrah for a walk tonight and I didn't even wear my hood. (Hats are forbidden as part of my hair protection protocol.) I will take all the snow that cares to fall.
