Monday was a normal day for us, nothing exceptional, no spectacular hikes through the woods, just hanging out at home which felt good. I did get to yoga at 9:30, a Yin class, with lots of emphasis on forward bends, not my favorites. I had quite a few stops, first at the bank, then at Auto Zone to get new windshield wipers, then shopping at Wegman's finishing up at Evans Liquors. On the way home, I stopped at the Town Office, to drop off my taxes, then filled the car up, getting ready for the Winter Advisory on Wednesday and Thursday.
When I returned home, Evie told me that our friends, Sam and Donna, who were invited for dinner, couldn't come because of an illness, opening up, unfortunately, our day. Evie already had our dinner planned and was making Hellriegel's famous cinnamon rolls (recipe from Vi), so we decided to just go with it and have lots of leftovers. Talk about leftovers, I had them once again for lunch, the ham, cauliflower and potato casserole from Friday night, still tasty. And watched Friday Night Lights, finished up my Jack Reacher novel and took a nap. That was it for the afternoon until 5:00.

Our faux Thanksgiving dinner was amazingly good. I don't usually like white meat but it was moist and tasty, especially when complemented by mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy. I cannot wait for tonight when we can have the same dinner again. We watched a new series on Netflix called Sex Education, a British series, about an awkward teenager whose mother is a sex therapist. It's extremely explicit, gross, perhaps pornographic but also funny at times. My only advice: Don't watch it with your kids. We ended the night with an HGTV home renovation show called Home Town, set in the quaint Mississippi town of Laurel. Earlier in the afternoon, I started Dan Egan's THE DEATH AND LIFE OF THE GREAT LAKES and I went up to bed early to get back to it.
