It's 8:50, and I have been up for over an hour, listening to the rain and the wind on a gray, 52º morning. I won't be kayaking on this miserable, wet morning. At least it's not snowing.
Yesterday we set aside to get some things done in the morning since neither of us had yoga or school. So we had a leisurely coffee and breakfast although I was able to get in a decent paddle for once as the weather cooperated. By 10:40, we were off to Spetrum Eyecare because I was getting a new pair of glasses, my old ones having fallen in the lake while kayaking. I found out my insurance only pays for new frames every other year and since I bought sunglasses in December, I am going to have to pay more than I thought. After looking at the stock market the last two days, I went for the cheapest frames I could find even though I probably will look like a dork. We then drove into Jamestown to return some vinyl tiles on Foote Avenue, then returned to another store on Murray Avenue to look at more vinyl tiles for our bathroom floor. Upon arriving at Woodlawn, our builder stopped us and gave us a box of Corian tiles for our shower walls. We are going crazy trying to make a decision, and he also mentioned another choice we had not thought of, which seemed cheaper and just a good as Corian. He had just put it in an apartment in the CI and said we could go take a look to see if we liked it. We will go on Monday to take a look.
By the time we returned home, I was hungry and Evie made me a couple of ham and cheese sandwiches to go along with a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I am watching a new series, The Girl From Oslo, and will probably stick with it. After lunch, I read, fell asleep for a good hour plus and woke feeling groggy. To change my mood, I went outside and cleaned the garage and took a chance by putting the snow shovels up in the garage attic. It felt good to be outside doing something.
By 5:00, we were enjoying a Manhattan and crackers with cream cheese and red pepper jelly. We remember being introduced to it when we first arrived back in the States in 1977 by colleagues at Reserve. Dinner was the kuru fasulye over rice with a salad, and we watched a Colbert and the good or bad news, depending on who was being interviewed. Evie went up to be around 8:30 and I watched some of the UCONN/UCLA game as well as my show, The Girl From Oslo.
