Lunar Eclipse

We actually did wake up at 3:30 in the morning to look at the moon. It was huge and yellowish red in colour and perhaps I ought to have stayed to watch some more, but I went straight back to bed and woke up exhausted. Maya watched the eclipse for a while too, and I discovered that many of my friends had been up during the night to observe the last lunar eclipse for the next three years.

My day was not too intense. Maya's violin lesson was canceled for the afternoon, so I had a few free hours to organize my office and prepare for my weeklong departure to Canada. Maya went off to play with Belina for the afternoon, so I texted Eric to pick her up from the Benichous at 5, but somehow there was a miscommunication and Eric went over to their house for pizza and play. I am not sure what Eric was thinking, but I summoned him back to help get packed and ready to go for our trip to Canada. I think Eric likes to stay at the Benichous all the time. I am a little uncomfortable because he offered the Cowans house for Daphne's family to stay in over Christmas and that seems a little presumptuous to me, but apparently Noah was fine with it. I am not sure how I would feel with strangers staying at my house, especially after my renters were so disrespectful and destructive. Of course the house is a disaster anyway and needs much work to get it back to functioning, so a little more damage would not be too horrid, but I still would be queasy if the five or six people moved in for a bit. Daphne is having a huge BASH for her birthday on the 28th. We will still be in Canada, so we will miss it all....
