vacation-ish
My children are now officially out of school, and my daughter's theatre camp (to be done, alas, by Zoom) does not begin until next week, so this week I do not have to get up early and make small people be doing something at a particular morning time. I am celebrating by catching up a little on my Goodreads while eating leftover butter chicken for a very late breakfast while one of the cats sleeps on my lap. I cannot begin to imagine what this summer is going to look like, so I am not even trying; the small joys of each day is sufficient.
Spouse and I have now watched the new version of The Handsome Siblings on Netflix up to episode 15, and while the narrower range of women's roles does seem indicative of its 1960s origin, on the whole I am really enjoying it. There are two protagonists (the siblings of the title), one of whom is an upright all-in-white wuxia paladin type, and the other of whom is a fantastic trickster who can't fight very well but can talk his way out of almost anything. I keep meaning to check out some of the many earlier versions available on YouTube, but I am terrible at sitting still to watch a video alone; I usually manage about 30 seconds before I stop it and get up to do something else. Knitting helped, back when I did that -- perhaps I should start again? I have many supplies and I did enjoy it, although my prefectionism tended to get the best of me and I was forever un-knitting to go back to fix minor errors that did not really matter.
(This is why I have not made further progress on The Untamed or Guardian -- either I cannot sit still, or it is midnight before I get the chance to sit down uninterrupted with a screen...)
