Lyric sopranos heard who are not my sister...

Daughter is curled up on the couch watching "The Barber of Seville" on PBS (repeat broadcast from the Met...) and giggling at the silly scenes. And occasionally conducting. :)

She's still going "ow", but hopefully it'll be better very, very soon.

Rain.

Hail.

Rain and hail.

Rain again.

Now it's just windy and that makes the eucalyptus trees sounds like the ocean. Which is really odd, as the ocean is merely six or so blocks away.

There's bread baking in the oven, one load of laundry done, one load of dishes washed, and I really, really need to start grading this stack of papers and sewing the buttons back on my coat. I'm being productive today, people! *gives up pretending that yesterday wasn't a total, lazy waste of time in this house*
