Jan. 3rd, 2026 07:41 pmMy plan of bouncing back vigorously from post-holiday fatigue is not going well. My PLAN last night was to sleep well. Apparently that wasn't an option. I woke up in the middle of the night and was awake for an ungodly long time. So the night consisted of two truncated naps. This morning, I was going to shovel the remaining snow off the car and surroundings. Some kind pixie had done the far end of the driveway when I wasn't looking. Then I was going to go to the store, and prepare something for the potluck tomorrow, and clean up Christmas odds and ends, and go to church. Apparently, this again was too much too ask. I had to admit I could not hustle fast enough to do even that much. I remained irritable and lethargic even after medicating myself with a bowl of the leek and potato soup I finally got around to making yesterday. I swear it has curative properties, though not quite curative enough. I had to allow the Sparrowhawk to go to the store on my behalf, and I could not go to church. I took a nap instead.
We managed a small amount of removal of cardboard boxes and such, and in the process I accomplished my greatest feat of the day: I found a precious object that had gone astray at present-giving time. It's a sound card from a Yoto, a screen-free audio device we bought for Aquinas on the advice of his parents. The card is about the size of a playing card, so naturally, I put it somewhere it would be very safe. So safe I couldn't find it again for two weeks!
Slightly rejuvenated by my nap, I cut up and marinated four pounds of pork roast, two gigantic leeks, three onions, and a bunch of carrots. That will be one step forward for tomorrow . . . . It's a full moon tonight, and if anyone has clear skies, I advise going out to take a look. Last night I saw the moon very high in the sky, accompanied by Jupiter, Sirius, and a few more heavenly bodies I couldn't see well enough to name. Moonlight on snow is medicinal, like leek and potato soup.
