bad week, no donut moderating, with luck

Alice slept all day yesterday, on and off, like a cat on the couch, improving enough in the afternoon to watch Mulan and rather a lot of Little Bear

The orthopedist told me several things: arthro means joints, at which point we had a spirited misunderstanding about arthropods and orthopods, and I must remember to sing him the arthropod song* next time, I did in fact, break but not displace the tip end of the tibia, as he can tell by pushing "OUCH" there, he does not recommend a cast, but does recommend staying off the horse that tossed me, and he was interested turning the heel on socks. so, no biting.

last night so so weird for sleeping I feel like I should mention it because wow - if I sleep for 20 out of 24 hours one day, the next day I have no freaking clue when to go to bed. I finally was horizontal at midnight, and not asleep until after 1. and woke up at 4 with nightmares, and read a while until the snow finally started and went back to sleep and woke at 10 to a snow day.

how I love snow days. I love not having to wake up, and the quiet, and all that snow, and people not fussing to get anywhere, and things being so peaceful. I love having the kids (now singular) with no structure to the day. I feel kind of bad reading the people who do not love this so much on facebook, but I love it a lot, and I do not feel bad about loving it. just sad they're less pleased with this thing the weather does here.

aaand eyes and antenna, and exoskeleton
head, thorax, abdomen (squeaky voice) jointed legs!!
