Julia of Corsica

Saint of the Day: Julia of Corsica. She was a native of North Africa who was captured and enslaved. She was brought to Corsica where the pagans were throwing a big festival, but Julia refused to participate. As punishment, her hair was torn out of her head and she was crucified. Yikes. My outfit today is based on the Corsican flag which looks like this:
So, I'm wearing black sweatpants and a white tank top. So classy! And a black and white headband for flair.

Workout: Nope.

Writing: 30 mins

Household Chore: Clear off surface areas in living room and kitchen. I did this yesterday!

Reading:
Old English: Sentences 1-9 of Bede's account of the Conversion of King Edwin.

Middle English: Piers Plowman, Passus XVIII-XX. And it's over! Yay! No more Piers Plowman!

Contemporary American: Beloved, pp. 156-209

Criticism: Still no reading list

Food:
Breakfast: Cheese toast and coffee
Lunch: open-faced salami sandwich. We just watched the movie "Kolya" which is about Czech people in the 1980's. They ate a lot of open-faced salami sandwiches in that movie, and they looked so delicious. Mine was not as good as that, but it was good.
Dinner: Fish Curry and acorn squash
Snacks: Strawberries and 1 glass of milk
