miekec+ Karin learned to tie her shoes this weekend. She told J on Sunday morning that she wanted to learn. He showed her 3 times (literally), and from that time on, she's bee tying hr shoes herself. I guess motivation really works for her!
+ pain in my thumb is not carpal tunnel
- but tendinitis
+ and feels a lot better today than yesterday
+ "Weasley broke his paw"
"What happened?"
"His bone fell out"
+ yummy dinner with good friends earlier this week *and* today
- exhaustedly tired
- dreary weather all week
+ but dry all weekend. Just in time to deal with the rotted clapboards
+ had yummy fresh Maine lobster (thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nekowoman)
+ even though we barely got started on the clapboards, did get to cross 2 things off the list: fixed tree-holding-rope and put catflap back into kitchen door. (SO satisfying to cross things off!)
- Karin tried to bite her teachers. Multiple times this week.
+ they're faster than she is
+ and she ended with a really good Friday
+ she learned to whistle. With her mouth.
- No object to take away from her in that case, to stop the noise
+ The stack of 20 year old medical notebooks has shrunk by more than a foot
- there is still more than a foot left. And many boxes full of "stuff" too.
+ Finally had time to sit down and work on backlogged finances
- not anywhere near long enough to catch up
- it cost almost $40 to send a box with a pair of boots totieleke (in The Netherlands)
+ they got there in only a few days!
+ and paypal works internationally
+ Of course, the other unusual bike at K's new school was ridden by a Dutch woman.
+ One who also lives in the neighborhood.
+And plans to import those beauties!
+ "Jij bent een gemene moeder!"
"Oh? Waarom?"
"Omdat jij zegt 'niet piepen'"
(nadat ze zeurde omdat ze de afwasmachine moest legen, zoals gewoonlijk)
["You're a cruel mother!"]
["Oh? Why?"]
["Because you say 'don't squawk'"]
[(after she whined about having to empty the dishwasher, as usual)]
