π Day

My math stinks, but I can still enjoy π day because it is one of a few mathematical "things" I know. I also prefer odd numbers, yet fibonacci numbers are exciting. My favourite is the δωδεκάεδρον.

Evening out

Spring Break is basically over. The routine returns to "normal". A change in plans creates new opportunities and perhaps some chaos. I am almost immune to chaos or at least I should be. I can say for some certainty, it will be better and an added bonus -- the winter is ending and spring is approaching.

I spent the day cleaning up from the beginning of the semester -- books, papers everywhere.

A little off

We have a toaster that does not shut off,
a knob that barely turns,
a light that does not light,
two cats who do not meow,
a coffee grinder that keeps grinding,
imperfections,
some easy fixes,
others never change.

Some Wind

Today came and went almost uneventfully. I had to pick up my stepfather from the car repair shop, he dropped off his car, and I made the owner really laugh. It was one of those laughs that was right from the gut and lasted longer than a HA-HA. I only said, while shaking my head no, "Not me, not me." You see, my car has been there so many times, towed in, because of the poor design of the car and the wires under the car corrode and break.

Other than that, blah. I could not have the bird feeder outside due to wind, but I spread seed and cracked corn for anyone who might stop by. Now I think it is even too cold, even for the bunnies.

It's Alive!!!

Friends and Children

I went to a local farm supply store to get some cracked corn for our outside friends and found a new Hummingbird feeder as well. The old ones had many issues and were not working well. I will have to wait a while longer to see how this one works out. Now armed with 50lbs. of cracked corn (only comes in 50 or 10lbs. and 50 is cheaper) we are well stocked.

Oh, and they had store kitties. The female is 16 and the male looks 6 or 7 years old. As cats should be, they are spoiled. One sleeps on the counter and the other has his own bed on a couple of bags of seed. There is a basket of handmade cat toys on the counter (how they do not play with them I will never know) and we bought 2 for our children. This is the same place where the other 2 toys for Valentine's Day came from; today's purchase was St. Patrick's Day themed.
