Aw, that's sweet. Thank you both. :)
Saturday I bought a new thermos for my coffee and I tried to understand the instructions in Spanish. I didn't know the words for hot and cold yet. But there was only one sentence I couldn't make sense off without reading the translation.
I just woke up. It's 3 a.m. but I will sleep 2 hours more now before work. Micro already placed her presents for me on my place at the table: a paper heart and a paper butterfly she made with a piece of chocolate as its body. Cute. :)
Regenbogen:
Sorry for the double post.
I couldn't sleep any more after 3 a.m. So I'm very tired now. My mother couldn't sleep either, so we were both tired today. ;)
Mini gave me a the picture of a duck she painted herself. Very cool, looks almost real. She's an artist.
Dina:
I am sorry about the lack of sleep and having to work on Mother's Day, but what you told us about the presents is so sweet!
I hope you and your mom enjoy yourselves even when we know you are grieving.
It seems like you really have an artist in the family, I admire that. I am almost a disaster at art. I managed to do a few things not horrible at school in drawings and paintings. Anything 3d or musical is a complete, unrestrained disaster for me. Luckily I can write more or less well.
I do enjoy arts even when I cannot produce it, and that is why I admire people with talent for that.
I thought the word for "hot" was popular, as I've seen many sitcoms or things like that using the word "caliente" for Latinas.
Regenbogen:
I admit I've heard the word caliente before but not in connection to a woman. After I looked it up, I was like "of course, why didn't I know it " lol. Should have been clear when reading about a thermos there should be words like hot and cold. But now I won't forget it again.
But one doesn't hear a lot of Spanish here.
Mostly it's in music.
About art: in my family as well as in my husband's family there are lots of people either good in drawing or music or mostly both. One of my nieces for example is an extraordinary singer. And my daughter can also sing and would be able to play an instrument, if she wasn't too lazy to exercise, lol. But her talent for drawing is extraordinary. She exceeds all of us by far. She also reads a lot and writes her own stories, mostly fan fiction about a character from Percy Jackson and about some anime she likes to watch.
On the other hand she is bad at maths. Except geometrical forms as long as she doesn't have to calculate with them.
And she is somewhat confused or clumsy in daily life. Tends to loose concentration and starts to dream. It is cute as long as you don't need something from her.
As for the grieving. Of course we are, but he would have wanted for us to go on, so we do. It's harder for my mother, because she has to live alone now. There are very nice neighbours and friends helping her with all kinds of things. She goes out once in a while or goes on day trips. So she is quite occupied at the moment.
Winter will be difficult, because there is not much to do outside and more time to think. But I'll see that she won't be alone then. Especially Christmas.
Dina:
Hi Regen!
Music? That is interesting. What music in Spanish do you hear?
That is awesome about your artistic family. My family was never too artistic but my mom had a cousin who is a good singer and pianist. And her children are very artistic. Her son plays the guitar and the piano and is a good (but not extraordinary) singer. And her daughter can sing but she is amazing drawing. And she has a phase where she painted walls, like graffiti, she was great at that. I hope she is back at that sooner or later.
I am good but not extraordinary at maths though.
Of course he would have wanted for you to go on and I am so glad you are doing it. And yes, your mom will be needing help in Winter.
I need to leave now, I have a class. See you later!
