On to bed.

.

I made it to 14:00.  Just turned the minute after the dot.  So tired though.  But... I was able to push through.

Nothing else, save another blood sugar test.  It was 119.  While not great, it's better than 150, much better than 215, and far better than 350, let alone 650 or higher.

A few things showed up today.  One of them is a book of English grammar, created for... a different sort of mind.  Why?  Well, if I am going to dig back into foreign languages?  The first thing to hit is my own language.  From participles to nouns, verbs and adjectives, and the rest.  Know these in your tongue, so that when you are learning a foreign tongue, you have an idea what that thing does.

Oh, sure, they may be differences.  Rules about how nouns are used.  In German, for example, most nouns are capitalized.  Whereas in US English, only proper nouns (or such) are capitalized.  People, some specific properties, or such.  But, having the ideas down, in your language, gives you some beginnings of understanding, of foreign similarities.  Start at home, whether with charity, propriety, or language learning.

And... it is an excellent book.  Not only would it be good for me, but for a foreign wife.  It would definitely help her learn English.  Hmm... yea.  Though... maybe?  We could just not learn each other's language and go for a wild ride?  I've... done that.  Meh, works for a short while.  The games... that happen to make that all work?  Interesting until too frustrating.  Women already speak a whole different language.

After reviewing this book, I'll begin Spanish.  

Ah, I did sort out making coffee.  The chinois worked well.  I did use a filter, too.  Though not sure that was needed.  Made for a drip coffee system.  Good enough.

Goodnight.
