This is the norm. S got better, E worse. It&#8217;s been quite a week-Tues night was a 10 year snowstorm, and Portland shuts down after that. I got home easy, and took my laptop. Nothing opened Weds and Thurs. M and I went to the store Thurs. afternoon, but that&#8217;s it. S played outside Weds., I worked, and today I&#8217;m at work. It wasn&#8217;t bad getting in-cold toes, though. Hardly anyone here, back home, dinner, bed. Up Sat., cleaning, but very tired, didn&#8217;t do much at all. Went out to get food and that was it. Same Sun., but I got more cleaning done-full bathroom, laundry, dishes. S to bed late, to bed. Hard to get up, but pretty easy in. It&#8217;s supposed to thaw tomorrow. There was supposed to be an ice storm, and it wasn&#8217;t. E fell down and we spent the afternoon in the ER-she had a concussion, but it took too long so we came home. Dinner, S to bed, bed. Woke up to the sound to water hitting the metal cover outside our window-kept me up for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Work was fine, the usual getting home-things are thawing out. E is still not well-she went to the Dr&#8217;s and got a shot. Dinner, S to bed late. C is struggling. Skipped gamelan to help out E. Up, to work, work, home, dinner, S to bed, bed-staying home Fri. to miss the protests on the way home. \u00a0Up, took S &amp; C to school, work, laundry.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been dwelling on climbing Mount Everest and the &#8217;96 disaster, and subsequent deaths-read both books. I don&#8217;t remember it when it happened, but it&#8217;s fascinating.\u00a0It just seems insane to me, but I can see the allure as well.<\/p>\n<p>Protests were as expected, took E and S to the train so they could march, libe, drive around Sellwood, gave up, home, emptied car, pick up E and S downtown, shop, home, get dinner, dinner, S to bed, bed. Up, skipped church, E meeting, watched skiing, cricket on now. Dinner, S to bed, bed, up, work, home, same &#8216;ol. C went to bed at 4. Work, meeting, home late, S to bed, dinner, bed, up. I love being able to write this on the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Work, E picked me up, dinner, gamelan, home, bed, up, to work. And now it&#8217;s Monday-Thurs. and Fri. were pretty much the same-C looked at another school, but I think he&#8217;ll stay because one of the teachers really likes him. Watched the first 2 &#8220;Langdon&#8221; movies, Sat., cleaned, the latest Langdon movie, church Sun., E meeting, shop, dinner, same &#8216;ol.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of protests over immigration ban, and a stay-we&#8217;ll see how this plays out. Some are speculating this is a prelude to martial law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m feeling better, now, but E and S still have it, E more. This is the norm.
