Kitchens, shrines and altars, household spirits. (Yes, Prince Bear, there is now an official half-page on brownies, another two pages on brownie-like household spirits from other cultures.)
Despite how negative the day has felt, there was work done, and I’m mildly amazed at it. It’s just been an off day from the moment I woke up. Another album Tina lent me got me through it, Anner Bylsma’s excellent Violoncello of the Seventeenth Century. That and some serious replaying of the live recording of the Tragically Hip’s ‘Highway Girl’ this past half-hour.
The light is so good (about time the sun came out and I can turn off my overhead light) and the Hip are carrying me so well that if I didn’t have dinner to prepare before Sparky and HRH get home I might have continued working, except 55K is coming up quickly and frankly, that’s extremely disconcerting.
A week and a bit left. Four work days, as we’re going to see my parents for Easter. I’ve been thinking ‘two weeks left’ and that’s not true, even if I were staying home. I can’t face this work schedule right now.
Prince Bear will be very relieved to know the brownies have been included. because everyone ought to know about house brownies.
There’s been too much sun for my liking. It’s still light now at work. No fair! Because that makes me want to spend time outside.
I forgot about Easter. I’m sure it will all work out for you, Miracle Princess.
