A Gray Day

7:41

It's just after 8:00, and the lake and sky mirror each other. All is gray. It's 30º and will not get much warmer during the day. There's hardly any wind so I look forward to getting out on the lake. It's 9:20 and I just returned from a 35-minute paddle, in a few flurries. 

Kayak Morning

Northern Sky

Yesterday was a typical Monday, meaning I got in both a paddle and yoga, and that was it. I am getting up each morning between 7:15 and 7:30, get my coffee, write the blog and by 8:30,  I hope to be out on the lake. I bought some cheapo earbuds and was having trouble figuring out how to keep them from falling out. This morning will be the test. On Mondays, Melt yoga is not until 10:30 which is nice because I don't have to hurry. Class was as usual, the same five of us who are regulars. It's an easy class, just massage various body parts with a foam roller, right up my alley. 

I was home by 11:45 and thought about doing something but didn't, a mistake to not follow up on it. Lunch was the leftover steak sandwich from Sunday night's dinner and Evie finished off her spaghetti and meatballs, just as good as the night before. I have to wait a couple of days for a new Reacher so I watched my other series, Person of Interest. I finished my book, The Big Empty and started a new trilogy by a writer I used to like but forgot about, Daniel Woodrell. It's called The Bayou Trilogy and I am enjoying it so far. So I read some, napped, and read some more as the afternoon zipped by.

Mallards Stopped By For A Visit

Before we knew it, it was wine time, and we listened to the always depressing news until Evie had enough and turned it off. Ah quiet. Dinner was the leftover spaghetti and eggplant from Saturday night. What would we do without leftovers? We watched another episode of The Pitt. It was the worst of the ten episodes. After it, we watched The White Lotus, fast becoming another show we don't like, mostly because we don't like any of the characters. After that, Evie went up to bed, and I watched a couple of new crime shows, but none grabbed me so I went up to bed.
