Morning Sun, A Calm Lake

Kayak Morning

7:16

10:00

It's a beautiful morning in the neighborhood. The sun rose just as I came downstairs and the ducks were feeding in front of our lake wall. It's chilly, 23º, but will get into the 40s later in the day, 50s and 60s this weekend. It's just 10:00 and I just finished paddling for forty minutes, a lovely cold morning after having breakfast in Bemus at 8:00, a busy boy.

Yesterday was different for both of us. I skipped yoga because I was driving with Evie to Erie for her mammogram and ultrasound at St. Vincent. So the morning began as usual with coffee, then a brief attempt to kayak on a windy, snowy morning. I was out for only 15 minutes before I came in because of the wind and snow, a wimp, I guess.  At 10:00, I stopped a Klingingsmith's Plumbing and dropped a check off, then went for a short walk around the Chautauqua Institution. Again, it was cold and windy and not much fun so I lasted only half an hour.

When I returned home, Evie made me a couple of sandwiches for my lunch in Erie, and we left around 11:30 for her 12:30 appointment. We finally arrived after heading to the wrong imaging center at 12:30. I dropped Evie off and parked on the fifth floor of the parking garage, then went to the waiting room. It took over an hour, so I enjoyed my sandwiches and Fritos. She was finally done by 1:45 and we then drove to Lowe's on Peach Street to look at vanities, tiles, and flooring for our bathroom renovation. What a pain, trying to pick out some shower tiles, then matching them with flooring, I wish someone would just tell us this matches. We were there for at least forty-five minutes before getting fed up and driving home,

We were happy to get home and collapse on our couches and watch TV or read for an hour or so before it was wine time. Around 6:30, Evie cooked a couple of Italian sausages and eggs along with potatoes, made a salad and we had an easy dinner. We watched a Hometown, Colbert and the news before Evie went up to bed around 8:30 and I returned to my series, Secret City on Netflix. I watched a few minutes of NBA but got bored quickly and went back to my series.
