Today is quiet. I don’t even hear a car. The day is warm, 53°. Rain is predicted, and the sky looks ready. It will rain most of the afternoon. My cold has resurfaced so I’m home today. I do feel better though.

One of my favorite gifts this year is Sloth Mode, a companion for me, from my sister Sheila. The stuffed sloth is dressed in a yellow hoodie. When you press his hand (paw?) and talk to him, he repeats what you said so slowly you can barely understand. His mouth makes the strangest movements. He makes me laugh. My sister also read my mind about slippers. She gave me a new pair of Acorn slipper socks, the same ones I mentioned in my blog the other day.

My sister Moe found a small, wooden uke for me. It comes in a great case. I tuned it yesterday and played a song. It felt strange to play a different uke.

Both sisters gave me doo-dads. They are the most fun to open though you can’t top the Sloth. Sheila gave me more Mexican solar dancers. I love the old Girl Scout Handbook. It had been sitting in my memories. Moe found Paper Marche figures, an old Spanish man and woman, and a Santa. She remembered my desk calendar and my cinnamon lollipops from See’s Candy. They are my addiction.

My dance card is empty on purpose. I only had one entry anyway, today’s concert which I am forced to miss. I do feel better, but I have a bit of a cough back.

I am still going to vacuum, maybe even dust, but I guess I shouldn’t go hog wild!
