You in the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard can call me a wimp, but I'm c o l d ! I don't care what it is in Alaska or Montana or Indiana or Maine, or anywhere else, 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Sacramento is cold!!! And wake-up temps in the low 40s to high 30s?
OK, so I'm a weenie, I admit it, but maybe it wouldn't feel so cold if the skies weren't so leaden. No sunshine since--when?--well, several days. Three?
And it's drizzly.
But hey! no snow. At least not here.

On a more positive note, I'm having fun teaching a Mom and her 2 girls how to read Hebrew. The girls are better than Mom. Maybe my husband was right: maybe I should have been a teacher. I'm enjoying this.
I still haven't called that volunteer number, but I will. If I can tutor some kid who hates reading and show him how much fun it is, then I'll be happy as a kitten with a bowl of cream. When I discovered what all those things on the page were, I was in heaven. Reading has always been a joy for me. Even dry textbooks. If there's printing on the page, I'll read it.
Haven't had time to read any more in that book I mentioned yesterday, and probably won't have time tomorrow. But I'll stick it in my purse, just in case.
Oh, yeah, I cleaned the litter box last night before I went to bed. Had to throw KK out of the box a couple times. He really isn't all that helpful. And, as usual, he had to get in and play in the new, fresh litter. What a weird
cat I have. Putting the top on the box helps some, but KK manages to scratch so assiduously that he manages to get litter outside the box. Not as much as he would if the box didn't have a top, but still I need to get the broom and dustpan out every day. He's not supposed to do that!!
Tomorrow is Leisure League luncheon. Looking forward to seeing friends I see once a month.
I'm also going to buy some knitting needles and see if I can learn to knit again. I have a crochet project going that just isn't working. I've taken it apart four times, so maybe it needs to be knitted. That'll be five times start a project that should have been completed a month ago!
I think I've finally found a way to keep the cats from using my antique, needle pointed lady chair as a scratching post. I put a plastic cover over it, and they haven't found a way to dislodge the cover yet. And they have a perfectly good scratching post right there in the living room. No two. One is an upright and one is a stretcher on the floor. Why my chair????
Ah, well, it's time to go to bed.
One more thing. Sis and I are finally doing our 2-hour IM chat again. That feels good.
Now, goodnight.
Shalom
