Gone are the days of reading. When I actually look at it, there's time to read. So many around me are reading such interesting books/topics. My list of to-read is only growing. When the time to read does show up, my mind is numb and I just want to vegetate. D barely lets me read the paper until she finds herself in my lap, flipping newspaper pages and then taking over. She lets her dad read though. Maybe it's all about where you sit at home.
I have gotten books from the library. Either they have sat too long on the hold shelf in the library never picked up, or sit atop our shelf only to be returned, or I read a few pages before giving up. My attention span surely has gone to the dumps.
The swim class was a great hit for D. Of course! I went over later and during the class she spotted me a few times out of the crowd and gave me the biggest and the happiest of smiles!
My excitement for her happiness in a swimming pool is due to my dismal performance at the pool when I learnt. Every coach of mine had given up and my mom who never learnt taught me over several summers. Family was obviously surprised at how I ended up in Hawai'i for so many years!
The big problem we ran into yesterday was by the end of class, D was shivering like crazy. By the time we dried her up and had her changed, her hands, feet and lips were blue!!!! It was scary. N was giving her food, while I had her wrapped in a jacket and rubbing her feet and hands at the same time. She didn't seem to care though. But it scared us. Other kids in class were running about normally. I wonder if we did something wrong. She came back to normal within ten minutes. I remember shivering too after getting out of the pool even in the hot summers of Hyderabad but the whole feet/hands being blue freaked me out!
And the cold weather plus no heat at home didn't help the rest of the night.
