A little bit of everything...
Mar. 26th, 2005 07:16 pmIt's been that kind of day.
Falling asleep last night wasn't easy. I'd napped in the afternoon, too soundly, which is what I assume kept me from sleeping until after 1 am. For the first time in longer than I can remember, Baby deigned to define some space for herself on the bed and sleep with me, but that didn't last very long: after about 30 minutes, she got up and started meowing.
I arose bright and early and bounced into the store shortly after opening, and as we had planned, I stayed until Drew came back from picking up mail. While I was waiting, Shannon came by and dropped Huntür off, and we examined the contents of her Easter basket, which was filled with eggs from a local egg hunt.
Once I got home, I washed a rack of dishes and started translating. The going was slow, as the subject is medicine, and I got up a couple of times to empty the dish rack and wash some more dishes. Drew finally came over with Huntür around 4:00 pm, by which time the plov I'd started to cook at around 3:30 was finished, and the lamb shank I'd put in the oven just after noon was a dessicated shadow of itself (definitely well done!).
After our meal, we got down to boiling and coloring Easter eggs - the real article and not the plastic items with the seams. I even tried a hand at my grandmother's specialty - boiling eggs in onionskin - but I only had enough onionskin for one egg (some other skin I'd been saving has disappeared somewhere), and probably not enough at that, as the result was mottled and resembled something, um, diseased. Still, I think the exercise was useful, the resulting eggs were colorful, and I hope it is something Huntür remembers for some time.
After Drew and Huntür left, I wound down by watching the rest of the new Kojak pilot, which I started to watch last night, but then recorded the rest of while I went downstairs to translate. The story and characters were interesting enough for me to want to see the show to the end.
So now I'm back downstairs, with about 1800 source words left to the medical text. I need to get as much done of it as I can before going to bed, because between Easter dinner tomorrow and the laundry list of work items I have to address, the day will be busy enough.
Cheers...
