Wishing Amelia a very happy second birthday (yesterday)!
Feeling adequately rested after Simon seems to have ended his boycott on sleeping through the night. We give thanks for answered prayer and at least partial credit to Hyland’s Teething Tablets, known in our household as the magic pills or baby peyote—we don’t know what makes them work, but we’re awfully fond of them around here.
Craving Indian food, especially Tandoori Chicken, even though that’s not always my first choice from the menu. And coffee.
Knowing that Jason was right to take leftover Halloween candy to work, but still wishing we had more chocolate in the house.
Watching Doctor Who. I just finished editing a book on the British sci-fi series and had never seen an episode. It took a little while to get past the low-budget special effects (part of the series’ charm according to fans), but it’s growing on me . . . in a Marian the Librarian sort of way.
Knitting a scarf. Something about fall makes me want to (re)learn to knit—even when it’s seventy degrees out.
Enjoying Andy’s series of Charity portraits.
Looking forward to voting tomorrow, despite my continued ambivalence toward the election (Brook taught me the proper use of the word “ambivalence,” which I previously thought was more similar to, if not synonymous with, “apathy").
Praying (see previous).
