Friday Journal

Today we stayed quiet.  The words "wind chill advisory" carry great weight for me.  And with no big plan and sunshine pouring in our window the morning passed.  As it does.  We did not even think of advancing toward the door.  Naomi brought her CD player into the living room and pressed play.  Verity and I roamed around the house doing some chores and some puzzles.  I made my first loaf of bread of the winter.  A recipe I got out of Cooks Illustrated for Easy Sandwich Bread.  We smothered the warm bread with peanut butter and jelly for lunch.  No accompaniments.  Verity poured out her drinking water on the table once finished with her sandwich -a sure sign that I had missed the ideal nap time.  And here we are.

Hopefully it's a few degrees warmer now.  This afternoon we are going to the library though we will not head straight for the children's room.  We will pause at the recently returned movie shelves for something for the adults of the house -hopefully an Oscar-nominee.  If I could I would binge watch Girls all weekend.  But I'm currently up-to-date waiting for Monday night's day after viewing.  HBO Go.  Hannah is so good for me right now.  So honest and over the top and completely fictional, yes I know.  But, she is a truth spewer.  And so so funny.  

Any plans this weekend?  We're almost there.
