I'm not spending much time online - as little as possible for the next week and a half - so rather than post sporadically and worry about it, I'm just going to declare a slight pause and resume with the new year. Hope everyone who celebrates has wonderful holidays. See you again in 2012.
See yesterday's entry. A quiet rhythm to the day.
Groceries. Knitting. Reading. Talking. Minimal time online.
Yes, we have internet access.
Supposedly we have internet access where we're staying...
Half a school day left before winter break.
Mostly offline this evening, reading a book, and then helping the youngest make the family recipe for Old English Toffee - household treat and teacher presents.
Our winter holiday break approaches, and my mind turns to all the projects I'd like to start or complete, books I'd like to read, time I'd like to spend looking at the horizon - both literally and figuratively. The challenge - as always - is to find one or two things to concentrate on, not fourteen, so that I return rested and renewed.
Yesterday's collage feels like an illustration for a story - I just haven't figured out the story yet.
I made bread to go with dinner, and youngest made cookies for the school bake sale.
Singing. And then later, dancing at a friend's birthday party.
Happy quiet Friday night!
No knitting time today - though I did take the scarf-in-progress with me.
Ah... I went through so much struggle last year when I worked to create an ePub book for my iPhone. Today I made one from a Pages file in a matter of moments. Step one, begin with a file where you've used styles to format chapter titles, headings, subheadings, body text, and so on. Step two, if you created a table of contents for your paper version using the Pages TOC generator, delete that. Step three, put a cover image on your first page. Step four, export as ePub file, choosing the use-first-page-as-cover option. And there you are. And then I put the new book on my iPhone without needing to sync it, by using Dropbox. Very satisfying when these things that ought to work actually do work in practice.
