The Mummy of Hornedjitef
The Mummy of Hornedjitef

Today was also quiet.  Baba arrived in the morning, and David remained in bed for a little while, then got up. I ran out for breakfast for us, made coffee, and then Baba gave David his shower.  Afterwards, I ran out to Home Depot for a better shower head and some other stuff I needed for the house, and went to Trader Joe’s for Davids Ginger Cashew cereal (thanks for turning him on to it Kathleen!)

When I got home, it was almost time for Baba to leave and I paid some bills, and we watched the news then took a nap.  I made a lamb stew for dinner, and David liked it, or that was the impression I got.  We watched some TV – the end of “The Women”, “Antiques Roadshow”, “Dexter” and “The Good Wife”.

Last night, David asked me to begin reading to him from a book he was given at the HJD called “A History of the World through 100 Objects”.  All the objects are from the British Museum, so I thought it would be fun to read it in a British accent – give me a little joy.  David told me tonight that it didn’t give him much joy, and I should read it straight.  As I was finishing the first chapter about the mummy of Hornedjitef, and the author was quoting an Egyptian author, David asked me to go back and read the author’s name again.  He then laughed at me, because he thought my pronunciation was a bit off.  I told him that I would, from now on, be alternating between British, Egyptian and German accents.
