It's 7:50 as we sit here, watching the sunrise then hide behind a cloud bank. It's 36º as the lake continues to thaw but still frozen out in the middle. Not sure what today will bring other yoga this morning, perhaps a walk in the woods this afternoon.
Yesterday was a good day as I felt like doing something, rather than moping around the house. So after the blog and helping Evie get a few things done, I spent a good half hour doing a yoga class with Adriene in the TV room. Once I was finished, I had to decide whether to get in a bike ride in the morning when the sun was out or the afternoon when it was cloudy I decided to ride under blue skies so I drove to Mayville park, got on my bike and rode through Mayville, down Sea Lion Drive, on the Mayville Trail and back and was out for just under an hour. I was winded, out of shape at first, but then felt better as I went along.

I didn't get home until 12:30 and Evie already had my lunch ready, an egg salad sandwich, and a bowl of her soup. Egg salad sandwiches are right up there with a BLT as a favorite so I was happy. I am getting bored with The Sopranos but will stick with it. Once lunch was over, I was excited to get back to my book Razorblade Tears and take a nap. By 3:30, the lake was too tempting so I put on a life jacket and hip boots, grabbed a paddle, and went kayaking around the shoreline, dodging ice floes for maybe 15 minutes. I could only paddle along Woodlawn as it was frozen otherwise. It's amazing all the junk floating in the lake, detritus from creeks and streams.

First Kayaking Of 2022 |
We watched Ketanji Brown Jackson address the Senate and were impressed. Unfortunately, confirmation these days is about politics, not qualifications. I hope she makes it. I also finished my book, really liked it, and started another The Man Who Came Uptown by one of my favorite crime novelists, George Pelecanos. Around 4:30, Evie put together our dinner of squash, potatoes, and garbanzo beans, a vegetarian dish. Along with a salad, we felt good about eating a healthy dinner although we missed the 'meat.' We watched a couple of episodes of Suspicion on Apple TV+, Jeopardy and a fairly new show on HGTV called Rock The Block, where four designers compete in designing the same space. After that excitement, we went up to bed.
