What I think

We have finally finished Hanks U.S. map.  I think now we will start looking at the globe and working on the continents.  We will start with North America and read about the other countries on each continent.  Thinking a paper mache globe might be in our future. Not really sure where to go after that.  Should continue with US history.  We have gotten thru reconstruction.  Maybe after reading about other countries we could again start with WW1.

I have spent a lovely day off waiting for it to snow and cleaning the house.  I knitted the braided scarf and am working on the ridiculously scrapey afghan.  Trying to get Hank back in the habit of school every day.  Need to do some planning.  Can't come up with anything interesting.  Read about Martin Luther King last year so I guess it's ok that we didn't go over it again this year. We need to finish his U.S. map and our reading about measurements, including metric.

Feeling a little blah.  I don't want to knit or read or do anything else.  I knitted a hat on new years eve and one on new years day.  I read 3 books in the first day or so of the new year then nothing.  Trying to walk more but that has been foiled this week. Next week will be better.

Had made a shawl for a women who was going to begin cancer treatment.  She talked to me today and wanted me to know how much it meant to her to have it to wear while she went thru treatment.

Finished the first knitting project of the year.  Father/son hats.  It was also the last finished project of last year.  Finished the first book of the year.  Am going to try and keep better track of projects and the books I have read. Thought about starting couch to 5 K.  But know I really won't do it.  So will be better about walking daily and eating better, no carbs, less calories.
