Partly Cloudy And Warming

7:44

8:22

It's 8:45 and my lucky wife just came down for coffee. I have been up since 7:30, having slept in some and it's been a depressing morning, reading the paper. The world, not just the USA, seems in flux and much of its chaos is attributable to Drumpt. 

Yesterday was a good day for both of us. Evie had kindergarten and I had a Melt class. So our day began early, at 7:00 so we had time to prepare. I didn't have class until 10:30 but wanted to meet friends at Ryders Cup for coffee at 9:45. So Evie was off at 9:30 and I followed. The regulars were at Ryders Cup so I caught up on their lives, leaving at 10:20 for class. I didn't realize that there was a class to follow, another Melt introduction, to hands and feet using therapy balls. Three balls cost 30 bucks so I am glad I skipped it. After class, I went to Auto Zone for new windshield wipers for my Subaru. They "only" cost fifty bucks but they gave me a free gallon of washer fluid! I then did a quick run through Aldi's which is next to Auto Zone and came home. I decided on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Unfortunately, we had Wegman's Natural peanut butter and it took me at least five minutes of stirring to make it edible. Give me Jiff.  I watched another episode of Deadwind then read and napped until Evie returned home, around 2:30.

Cross Country Skiing

By 4:00, I was ready to hit the lake and cross-country ski. It was spectacular out there, lots of sunshine, shoreline shadows began to touch the lake and no one on the lake except me and a few ice fishermen. I was out for forty minutes and was exhausted when I returned, having worked up quite a sweat.

When I got home, Evie was making our dinner, American goulash. Last week she had a conversation with one of her kindergarteners and he mentioned his favorite food was goulash. So she looked up a recipe and made it for dinner last night, basically elbow macaroni, ground beef, tomato sauce and cheese. It was kind of a throwback to my youth because my Mom made something like this. We both enjoyed it and watched an episode of White Lotus, then a couple of episodes of an older medical series called The Resident. We are not sure about it but will stick with it for a couple more episodes. Evie went up to bed and I watched, what else, a bit of basketball and another episode of Deadwind.
