Saturday
Saturday M13 didn’t have a fever, so I drove the family to the airport and they flew off to see Popo. By the time they made it to her house, M13 had a fever again.
I had a good day quietly hanging out with my dad. I did all the laundry. I read. I wrote 2 letters. (I have 9 more to complete this week, then I’m caught up.) I stayed up late so I could read to IL7 by video call.
Sunday
Sunday, I wrote two letters, read a lot, and spent a long time cleaning the living room (which will stay clean for another 6 days, at which point it will transition to instantly trashed without an in-between state). Dad and I went out to Olive Garden. I read to IL7 over video call.
Monday
Monday I made some baked beans for Aaron’s lunches next week. I did a lot of reading and writing, and spent a little more time cleaning the living room. I read to IL7 over video call.
Tuesday
Tuesday I wrote two letters, scrubbed the floors, and watched “Death on the Nile” with dad. I didn’t get much reading done. I read to IL7 at night. The electricity in my room and to the router went out, interrupting the story, then IL7 fell asleep before I finished the book.
Wednesday
Christmas eve, Dad and I watched “Crazy Rich Asians.” I read to IL7 till 2am.
Thursday
Christmas was calm. My friend Liz came over and we played board games. Then I cooked steaks for dinner. I read to IL7 till 2am.
Friday
Friday I ran a bunch of errands, cooked dinner, watched Elevation with Dad, and read to IL7 to 2am.

Danny, Wendell, and Christiana are kidnapped by knights while trying to save Danny’s cousin.


Our group battles Arlong, a beautiful pirate, and enters the Grand Line.


The Dragon Masters race to stop Maldrid from getting the golden key that will release the Naga.


When Danny’s fire goes out, he, Wendell, and Christiana go to the Farthest North to find a phoenix egg.


Wolf is Shortfuse’s new apprentice.


Another set of short stories involving Sherlock Holmes and his great friend Watson. Obviously intended on being the last book in the series. Obviously wasn’t the last. I like how much Holmes’ personality has developed through the last several books.
