We had a nice Thanksgiving, but the cold has started to set in now. The cold has been really sapping me - I'm just coming home and after having dinner and doing anything really necessary, diving under the covers for hours and then getting work done the next day, same thing... Friday I think it was barely 6:30 pm. Sunday we went out and got groceries and propane and a few other things done, but still - spent a few hours in a big coat at my computer but then still went to bed before 8 pm. There were snow flurries on my way home tonight, and I also saw a big bald eagle in a field on the side of the road. The defroster in the little car has not been working, but it is trying to overheat - so we will have to try to figure out how to check and add coolant tomorrow.
I've been doing Japanese and Czech languages, including speaking and listening practices.
My little cat book came in the mail finally - I had requested printing of it weeks ago in a small quantity. It is simple and sweet and I am glad that it finally became 'real'. I love that the drawing No Tell made for me goes all the way across the back of the cover, showing off Mikki Mack's glorious long fluffy tail (as it is described in the story). The rest of the drawings inside are black and white and were done by me in the GiMP program just quickly to have the flavor of what I wanted. No Tell was too embarrassed by how much I loved their drawing! I still do.
Mikki Mack, the quite pretty small gray cat with the gloriously long fluffy tail!
