Sick and Lazy in Retirement

Probably just a cold, but it’s lasted all week. I blame my mom’s friend.

Mostly, I’ve been weaving, doing mild cleaning, and playing video games. I made a scarf using a string heddle. My next plan is towels with a string heddle. One of the books I ordered on the Dreyfus Affair for my paper last semester just came in, but I can’t seem to focus on reading anything as long as a book. Instead, I scroll humorous videos in French; I tell myself that as long as I do it in French, it’s like learning. Here are two I like. I’m not sure if I should feel bad about liking the Bricolair one. Should I?

“BricolAir, ça fait peur, mais ça vol avec le cœur,” for example, means, “BricolAir. It’s scary, but it flies with heart.”

My German class starts Saturday, and my French class starts on the 12th. I’m going to go make myself another cup of coffee. My goal for today is to get the trash and recycling out; there’s a huge amount because of the cleaning.
