[bearshorty]

Having a house guest is always a little weird but due to Russian hospitality it also means lots and lots of nice food. The table has to be full and Mama made olivie salad and liver and lots of other deliciousness. And cake. And we had a little wine too (well, not my parents since they don’t drink anymore, mostly for medical reasons). Joseph, our guest, likes to tell jokes and unlike Papa watches Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. His youngest daughter just finished a master’s at Columbia so he came from Miami to get some of her stuff and get her sorted. He and his wife and daughter might stay with us again in May and maybe when my parents are on vacation, so it is was good to get to know him beforehand. And lots of delicious food!

I caught up on some Bill Maher today and cross stitched. I got so busy in the last month I barely had time for it but I know I need to find some time since I do have a deadline for my project.

Daylight Saving Time is tonight and it is the stupidest thing ever and why do we even bother with it. One hour less sleep. I suppose I should get to sleep early.

Cross stitch – light brown, brown and other similar colors to finish big bear’s paws.
Exercise: 45 minute walk
