H

Well, I have finished the E volume 2009.  I am now workingon the H volume since the G volume is circulating. I am pleased that the project is progressing. 18 or so volumes to go.  Now, that I  will be going to school once a week, I must be extra careful to get up earlier to read the encyclopedia.

Rude nephews

150 more pages till the end of volume E. As I approach the end of the cowl and the nephews' birthdays come around, I am afriad that I must stop celebrating their birthdays and much less send gifts to them. I see the boys as very rude and supported in this rudeness by their father. Gifts I send them are not acknowledged. When I complain I hear, "You don't give a gift and expect a thank you note." One Christmas I sent gifts, oversized stockings hand-knit. It took me two years to knit these stockings. I heard nothing. When I visited and asked about the stockings, the father opened a bag (they had obviously not been hung by the fireplace) and asked, "Are you talking about these?" Recently, I sent an e-card to one nephew and left him a cute little phone message on his cell phone. I have heard nothing-no "thank you", no "I got your message", nothing.




I disagree with the way the boys are being raised in this regard. I feel taken for granted. I no longer want to go out of my way to do nice little things for them.

English Lit

I have just finished reading English Literature entry. Really, fascinating stuff.  I have about 150 more pages to go before I move to Volume H.
