Slowly On the Mend

Five days into the New Year and I am finally on the mend from upper respiratory hell. The cat seems to have recuperated from his traumatic foray outdoors and all animals and their favourite human are looking forward to the year unfolding.

I was able to work on two hours of Hebrew with my friend and tutor today. That felt wonderful as I was afraid I'd forgotten all I had learned previously, which fortunately, wasn't the case. Surprisingly, it only takes about fifteen to twenty minutes of review daily to keep up and build upon what one already knows and I think I can manage that.

As for the rest of life, there are decisions pending as I have decided to look into going into a 55 and up community, providing I can find one that I like and can afford. Both are big "ifs" at this point. Time will tell.

In the meantime, I am enjoying my new Kindle, a holiday gift, and on the look out for a few good reads. Suggestions are welcome.

Happy Sunday...

Happy Holidays and a Beautiful New Year

I want to wish all of you and wonderful year ahead. I hope it is filled with friends, adventures and lovely opportunities. Currently, I have a nasty upper respiratory bug so coughing and sneezing abounds and I've banished all but the cats from the flat except for emergencies.

The last night of Chanukah has been a quiet one, save for my hacking. My male cat, chastened by rain following an unexpected escape outdoors, lies peacefully asleep, a state I can only envy. Chasing him home in the rain was no fun. Neither was the unexpected breaker outage at the main box outside that left only me without power and resulted in my having to pay a locksmith to come out in foul weather to chop a lock off the cover so that the breaker could be re-set and power restored.

Calm prevails at the moment, so I will once again try to sleep. Wishing you all peace and happiness.
