Love and Support: WIN! (visiting with parents, corresponding with friends)
Learning: WIN! (French, Toastmasters)

I visited my family over the last few days, partly to get my tires changed for the winter (I store them in my parents' garage) and partly just for the visit.

Unfortunately, I had a really bad sleep while I was there. The bed was comfortable but I just couldn't sleep, as though I'd chugged a pot of strong coffee just before lying down. I did my best to just meditate and relax, and I think I eked out a few hours--enough that I was able to function the next day. Still, I decided to be careful about getting a good rest last night, and succeeded, so I'm feeling a little better today.

I had another good Toastmasters meeting this afternoon, and won table topics yet again. Apparently I'm a really good spontaneous speaker these days, given that I'm batting about 0.75 with these things. So that's cool. They've asked me to be toastmaster for next week, so that should be fun.

French class last night was a surprise. They had a photo exhibition on the subject of climate change, so we got free wine and cheese and then chatted about climate change. It was fun to have a topic to discuss rather than just having arbitrary drills.

I'm going to take a selfish evening of entertainment tonight to just relax and enjoy life. Tomorrow I'll take stock of my goals for the week and see what I need to accomplish to have a reasonable education report on Friday.
