Necessary to take time to enjoy them when they're done.
I sent off the last of the books to the publisher this week, then was asked by my private client to please help index her book. I have in fact been trained as an indexer, and she was rightfully concerned that the software program her publisher is going to use wouldn't be any good with nuance. So she sent me their word list and I went through the book and added a whole lot of subheadings for each. Plus, oddly, the program (which I now know is "logiciel" in French) missed some major topics.
Other than that I seem to be going to a lot of doctor's appointments. I'm having cataract surgery next month (looking forward to it, I've worn glasses since I was 8 & am hoping I won't need them for distance vision now), I've got an appointment with an endocrinologist to talk about my options for osteoporosis treatment, and my annual dermatology check is coming up. Oh, and also followed up with the hematologist about the anemia subsequent to that GI bleed four years ago now, which seems resolved, but she still wants to see me yearly. Sigh. I remember the days when I just went for a yearly checkup and otherwise only saw the doctor when I hurt myself. Which I did a lot, because I had a very active life! (And that's why one of these years, the knee will need replacing . . . but not yet!)
So much for the organ recital. Making plans for a trip to see the nephews and great-nephews (in French that's after-nephews) in April, obvsly still studying French, and yes, I am getting some writing done!
Still cold here (no snow alas) but all the bulbs are coming up, and I saw a butterfly yesterday! Frogs are peeping madly in the swamp. I've put up two birdhouses in my little forest (all of four trees between my condo & the next one) and hope I'll get to watch families being raised there.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words.
