“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 985 (Sunday) – not knitting

Shoved in a bookcase.

 In the two weeks of not having homework for Finnish class, most of my sense of discipline has disappeared. Conjugating verbs and translating little stories in the text book are now just a faint memory. 

For ten weeks, homework  was a weekday morning event, with more time spent on it during weekends. A week after class ended, the textbook was removed from the ottoman and slipped into a bookcase with some photography books and photo albums where it immediately became a casualty of "out of sight, out of mind." 

Duolingo is still used, mostly to keep the daily streak going, which is now at 873 days. The Finnish lessons in Duolingo ran out months ago, so it has just been reviews and practice. It’s become a daily game of “how quickly can I blast through this basic lesson?” The current record is 1 minute, 58 seconds.

Maybe it’s time to take up a new activity/hobby/challenge. The idea of joining a gym has flitted through my head. I've been thinking about stained glass designs again, without any action taken. Two years ago, thinking I might revisit knitting, I signed up for a newsletter that has free patterns and video demonstrations of the various knitting stitches. After mostly ignoring all the emails and moving them into an email folder called “Arts and Crafts” I unsubscribed from the email list on Saturday. It feels like knitting probably won’t be the next challenge.
