Oct. 2nd, 2014 11:22 amMy Aunt Vera (my Mom's sister) is visiting from Minsk, Belarus for a month. She came on September 25 and is visiting until October 23. And today, her best friend Marina, who lives in Israel now, is coming to visit until October 23rd too. They are all staying with my parents. So my Mom's house is pretty full. (Their other friend is coming from Chicago for a long weekend too this Saturday. Too many guests :) ) I'm staying with parents this week with Tanya from Monday to Friday and then I will be home for three weeks. My Dad is sad about it since he loves to come home from work and play with his granddaughter.
What this means today is that Tanya has many caretakers and Aunt Vera is out walking with her now while Tanya sleeps in her pram. And I get a few hours of free time where I can go on the internet or read my book. What this means next week, when Bear is overnight at his parents from Tuesday to Saturday, is just me and Tanya and long, long days.
Two things in today's post:
1. I got the new Leonard Cohen CD "Popular Problems." His voice managed to get even deeper. As usual, his songs and his poetry of the songs is fantastic. I even gave my Aunt the iPod on her walk yesterday so she could listen to it. She doesn't speak English but she really liked the voice and the music. And Tanya listened to it yesterday with me too - it is never too early to listen to good music.
2. R/S Games have started posting. It is certainly my favorite fest of fanfic because I love Remus and Sirius so much and the quality of the writing and art always amazes me. I just read a story today "Within White Space" that was just beautiful Muggle AU based of Walt Whitman prompt. Gorgeous. I wrote a story for the fest too; it is a short one this year but their themes always inspire.
