8:00 |
It's no longer dark, as the sky and lake have lightened, the wind blowing the flag madly. I have been up since 6:00, occasionally listening to the chatter on Morning Joe, mostly reading the morning papers. I so am tired of politics, both politicians and pundits. It's as if nothing else matters in the world.

Yesterday began early for me with an eye appointment at 8:00. After the appointment, I ran into Aldi's because the parking lot was practically empty and picked up a few things for the week. I was home by 9:30 and wrote the blog and had it posted by 10:00. Evie had been busy because we were having Linda and Ron over for dinner. What started out as a simple dinner ended up being much more complicated and time-consuming than usual. Anyways, the moussaka was practically made as was the dessert, a galaktoboureko, a Greek/Turkish dessert. We were planning on a walk but Evie decided it would be too much so I walked the Victoria/Woodlawn woods for the first time in a while. The roads, even the paths were icy so I stayed on the grass and leaves when possible. It felt good to be back in the woods and I was amazed at all the deadfall from the past couple of months, even blocking the path.

Lunch was the leftover spaghetti pie, still excellent despite being at room temperature. I continued with my series, Deadwood, and my book by Michael Connelly. The afternoon went quickly, as I read, napped, and helped with the dishes while Evie finished up the prepping for our dinner.

Late Afternoon |
By 5:30, we were both showered and ready for a fun night. Linda and Ron arrived at 6:00 and I had our new favorite cocktail ready, whiskey sours. We enjoyed them in the living room along with baked zucchini with bread crumbs and parmesan, a nice change from cheese and crackers. Dinner was Greek, a delicious moussaka, with a salad and rolls.

We ended the evening in the living room with the galaktoboureko for dessert and a small glass of Metaxa, a Greek brandy. They left by 9:30 and Evie and I then spent the next 20 minutes doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, a process that seems the proper end to the evening. We watched some TV, mostly the news, before going up to bed where I finished my novel. The Law Of Innocence was not one of my favorite Michael Connelly books, alas.
