This Morning

I have almost finshed my Italian homework. I have some vocabulary to memorize. I was somewhat taken aback when I looked at the page of vocabulary word she handed us just before we left. We have nouns, days and months and seasons,  adjectives–colors} expresssions like "Che mese è?" which means "What month is it?", Interrogative words, and imperatives. {One I DO know from that list is "ascoltate!" which means"Listen!" It was a word used a lot in the classes in Lucca!}. But when I went through the vocabulary list and put a black dot after every word I already knew, the list was reduced to manageable proportions. So, after I come back from being tortured by physical therapists, I will write these out separately because there is no point in studying something I already know! Which reminds me of the best tip I was ever given about note-taking in college. it was to never write down what the instructor said if you already knew it!

When I got up this morning, I felt very odd. I thought I might be starting another bout of benign positional vertigo since I felt a bit dizzy. However, it is more probably dehydration since drinking two large glass and two bottles of water has cured it! I carry water with me all through the hotter months but get a bit lax in the winter. Anyway, I feel MUCH better now but I have decided I won’t walk to physical therapy but will drive instead. And, remembering the last session where I went to PT without eating, I have also just finished a sandwich. And when I schedule PT for next week, I want morning sessions. I will definitely have to go back to open studio hours for ceramics and having to drive into Burlington  for that and then back for PT is not a good thing. Let’s get the PT out of the way first!

Ok, time to brush teeth before I head out to PT.
