Thanks for the ideas. I realized that making new recipes and cleaning house more are both acts of service, so ARE a LL. They are also both things I can do, thank goodness.
You are lucky - holding hands is wonderful (and very occasionally my daughter would grab mine as we walked to the train station). I've sent off an SMS asking what she would like for dinner, listing some of the odds and ends ingredients the refrigerator contains just now.
Slept upstairs again last night. I think d15 and w switched beds, maybe because w didn't want to hear me as much? Whatever -. I kind of like having d15 nearer anyway (she talks sometimes in her sleep).
W spent 3 hours in the garden yesterday (we have no snow, and temps in the high 30s, though at 60 degrees north), while d15 and I were away. In preparation for selling? Just to clean up? To enjoy it a last time? Whatever - I cannot change what she does. Funnily enough, I'd been thinking last week of clipping the apple trees again, a lovely activity when the weather is good, and today it is. Perhaps that will be my housecleaning today.
