I was planning to hit the teacher store for a resource about Ancient Civilizations - specifically, Mesopotamia - but the snow is falling and blowing out there to reduce visibility as much as it can. Hence, I'm not leaving the comfort of my home today.

I wrote another five hundred words. Now I'm going downstairs to read more Patrick O'Brian in an effort to learn enough ship vocabulary to write with some level of intelligence and believability about life on a pirate ship. After that, I'll try to apply what I know, writing a scene where Treeden sits in the rigging and plays with his air spells which will soon save his life. I'll probably write it by hand, because Piet will be on the computer writing his contract all afternoon.

Elizabeth is under the weather, I feel like I might be soon, and all in all, I'm glad we don't have to go anywhere tonight. None of us got much sleep last night, because she kept waking up and calling us.

I've just changed my mind. I think I'll try a nap for a while. Five hours' sleep isn't enough for a Saturday.

If the Mayans were right, I won't be teaching history of any kind after that. :) I kinda hope they're wrong. I don't want a rapture of any sort yet. there's too much to do.

I'm feeling more myself, can you tell?

Glad to hear it.
I'm in two minds about the "Rapture". I work with a J.W and he's always willing to agree that the world is getting worse....But he don't try to convert me and I don't try to get him to sacrifice on the workbench....

I'm still of two minds about it myself. I'll let you know when I come to any conclusions - but don't hold your breath, it could be a while.
