Reading Below The Root, a juvenile fantasy about a person in an ideal society who is chosen to rule his people.  The alternate world is interesting; some kind of arboreal society.  I haven't quite got that figured out yet.

Good Christmas with Mom.  I spent too much money, but we had a good time.  We went to Krytal so Mom could have her burgers, drove around a lot, did some shopping.  I bought her one of those amplifiers that look like a bluetooth headset, and she loves it; she says it's better than her hearing aid was. I had a problem with the batteries; the ones I could find were horrendously expensive, something close to $8 apiece. They were marked for pacemakers.  I went online and bought her a bunch from Amazon for cheap. 

I've taken a couple of days off to relax before we go back after the New Year, to sit and read and perhaps weave a bit.  I have no room to lay anything out, so no sewing of clothes.  I might get the hide out and make some little leather bags.

I picked up a metal casting kit for us all to experiment with, and now I need to pick up some metal to melt in it.  We have a few things we want to make, belts, hooks, brooches and so forth, so we'll be pulling it out and messing around with it, maybe this weekend, maybe next. I dunno.

And now I need to go buy diet cokes.
