Pic is of Tabs at age 2–taken on Shuswap Lake, BC. One of my favourites because it highlights her blonde afro. My dad called her “Sparkle Plenty” at this age, because of her blonde curls and big blue eyes.
Tabs is so excited lately as she has made a new friend and they find each other fascinating. It is exciting to witness little girls falling in love with each other. The new friend is coming over after school today.
Today was the coldest day I have ever jogged on. This morning I ran for about ten minutes with Fernando in mittens and a toque. But my hands froze solid because the wind was probably 70 km/h and so COLD! I ran home and by that time my hands were numb. I actually cried as they thawed out in pain. Once thawed, I put on my ski mittens, a heavy new toque and an extra down vest and headed out again. The last stretch was so windy and cold I vowed to never jog on such a cold morning ever again. It is unusually windy and cold for this time of year!
I am up all night listening to the wind howl.
Last night I dreamed of 2 giant raccoons that morphed into tigers–they’d both hurt their paws and were limping… I wanted to help them but didn’t know how to go about it as they were dangerous wild animals and afraid of me to boot.
Pip home with bronchitis. Mist home with a sore throat (it has been a bad year for sore throats in this house).
France is off. A meditation retreat instead for ten days. There is so much I’d love to do but my focus will be on finding a job as soon as I hand in my thesis. I already applied to graduate this spring. I meet with my supervisor tomorrow.
