Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

sumi, change your socks. I know it sounds counterproductive, but even if you've been toasting your feet, they sweat, the socks wick it away from your skin, and then if the heat source is removed, the sweat cools and feels clammy next to your toes and chills them again. Clean dry socks should really help.

Katie, thanks for the b-day wishes. And your birdie posts are a high point of my day!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lots of ~ma to your nephew, Laura.

Blah. I've had a cold all week, and my lungs are seriously not happy. Some of my students were asking me if I was OK, because I was coughing so much while teaching. And having to walk around campus while the temperature was -3 did not help at all.

I have put on some lovely hand knitted wool socks and my toes are already feeling warmer.

Laura, healthma for your nephew.

Hil, I have a similar cold. I am feeling a lot better today, but when I lay down I just cough and cough and cough. I have been off sick from work for the last three days. I am hoping I can get some sleep tonight.

Oh, Laura. So much ~ma for your nephew.

Is there a way to browse Zulilly without giving them an email address?

Is it fair use to buy an adult coloring book and make a few copies of some of the pages to color different ways? Does that change if I make a small number of copies to give to a few of the folks at the houses I work at?

I think both would be fine. You aren't profiting from the copies.

Lot's of ~ma for your family, Laura, and strength~ma to the nephew.

I have spent the evening scooping up yummy Ethiopian food with aurelia, tommyrot, shrift and ChiKat. My day is complete.

The status is NOT quo.

Ack, Sumi! What a horrible day. I hope you're warm and happy now.

I missed your birthday, Bev. I hope it was wonderful!

Laura, that's so awful. Health-ma to your nephew and strength to you and the family.

Jilli, you definitely need that book. Though Pete could probably make you one for free.

Sorry about the cold, Hil.

I think that's most of what I wanted to say. I am so tired. It's been a really hectic week. The high school literary conference I run is next Wednesday, so I've been drowning in prep for that in addition to normal teaching load. And even though I'm only taking one class at a time and I can work at my own pace since it's online, pursuing a second masters degree while teaching full time can be challenging sometimes.

Working full time, working towards a graduate degree, running a conference...but I still feel like a slacker next to Drew.
