Which it hasn\u2019t in a while. I think it was probably a month ago that I last had a Monday feel like a Monday. Between the holidays and travel, it has been busy. This time last week I was walking around the Johnson Space Center in Houston TX talking to scientists, astronauts, and other learned people.<\/p>\n
I am taking this as the start of 2014 for me since it is the first week that even looks close to normal. In doing so I am adjusting my weekly schedule to fit things I want to do this year slightly differently. Part of it are the leftovers from 2013 that I want to tidy up sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
Caroline has another challenge in that she is going to be participating in NYSSMA this year for the first time. I need to get a few details for her form and then send it in to her music teacher. She is already working on the piece she needs to have cold by April. <\/p>\n
She also wants\/needs to get working on her Science Fair project. She wants to do a project on water filtration to make dirty\/bad water safe to drink but in a way that can be done for very little to no money and possibly recycled materials. She was reading about the problems that children have with bad water and how that kills more children than war. That is due in March. So we will get working on that. I have to get the teacher\u2019s permission for the project.<\/p>\n
I am going to try to add some creative time every day. If I take some time to create something creative being it writing or physical art, maybe I can shake myself out of my malaise.<\/p>\n
Crafty Tuesday is slated for tomorrow and maybe I will really have something to show y\u2019all. Or I could talk about some stuff I have seen going on recently in the semi-professional art world that seem rather scary to me. <\/p>\n
I am grateful for things that make it easier to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
