Insert Clever Title Here

Today was a fairly quiet day. We went to minyan in the AM, and then I came home and did laundry, and got to share some of my random favorite pieces of music with outofnapkins. She went off to meet a friend, and I took a nap, and then later went to a local park (chosen rather at random), to sit and do some nearly-stream-of-consciousness-writing and then some hooping (I usually much prefer typing to writing, but for just getting stuff out of my system, sometimes handwriting turns out to be better, I guess I associate it with private thinking more, or something of that sort). I once again had a variety of small children interested in what I was doing- how to explain what it was in Hebrew was rather complicated- I settled for "it's sort of like dancing".

I also had a funny conversation with a woman who wanted to know what I was writing- the notion of writing down one's thoughts in order to create some clarity seemed to be a new idea to her, or something. Or maybe it was just my poor Hebrew, I don't know. On the other hand, she thought it was Russian at first, and while my handwriting is not so good, it's pretty distinctly not Russian, I think. This evening, wotyfree came over to have dinner and hang out. There was supposed to be recreational mishnah learning, but we both seemed to have more need to eat and talk, so mishnah will have to happen another time.

I've been playing with the hoop a good amount, also with this exercise stretchy-thing that Mom got me, so I'm feeling some of my muscles in a way that I haven't in a while. It's rather nice...
