Sunday
It's snowing again. Finally. Most of what was on the ground was either turned to mud or turned to ice; it was starting to look positively ugly. And this is the kind of warm-weather snow that looks beautiful while falling, but melts on contact with the sidewalk. No shoveling -- sweet.Kristi is feeling a bit better. Her mood has improved, and she has more energy; she's currently laughing on the phone with a friend in California. But she gets dizzy when standing, has a headache, and of course a cough. So she's still very much in take-it-easy mode.
Emma is working on her Science Fair project: "Which Fruits Have More Acid?" We made litmus paper from purple cabbage, distilled water and coffee filters, and she's tested a range of fruit. Lemon and lime appear to be the winners. Grapefruit and tomato came in well behind, surprisingly. Emma is, of course, much more concerned with presentation than science; she's working much harder on the display than she did on the testing. Oh, well.
As for me, I'm dragging my butt through the weekend. I don't plan on getting pneumonia, so I'm resting as much as I can -- which, with Kristi down for the count and Emma in demando mode, isn't much. Oh, well.
