Some Sun, Some Clouds, Some Snow

7:46

8:32

This morning was shocking as the sun was out, in full bloom, and the yard was covered with a dusting of snow. It's a chilly 22º and may get up to 30º later in the day. I had a bad night, upset about what Trump and his Republican sycophants are doing in Ukraine and cozying up to Putin.

Friday was a boring day, mostly because I sat on my okole most of the day, We don't have yoga on Friday and I didn't have much interest in hiking. So we stretched out our coffee time, into the Michael Smerconish Show at 9:00. At 10:00, a guy arrived to give us an idea of how we might redo our downstairs bathroom and what it might cost. Of course, it was a shock when he said most bathroom renovations cost between 25,000 and 45,000. We talked about what we wanted and were willing to spend, and he is coming back with a quote. We could have saved money if we ordered a premade fiberglass shower but it wouldn't fit through our door and would have to be split in two pieces, and then glued together and we didn't like that idea. 

Friday Noon Sky

So we will have a big decision to make in the next week or two although they are so busy he probably won't get to the bathroom until the summer. I passed up breakfast so Evie made me an early lunch, at noon, salami, cheese and tomato sandwiches on brioche buns. I started the fourth season of the Cormorant Strike series. I have read all the books as well, written by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowlings). I am not crazy about it and I didn't much like this particular novel. We were expecting our plumber to stop by during the afternoon to give us a quotation on air conditioning our downstairs but he never showed up,  So I will call another company on Monday. Evie had another doctor's appointment in Westfield and came home with a couple new prescriptions which we hope will settle her BP and HR. We both did little the rest of the afternoon. Evie is into The Crown and I am struggling with finding a new novel to read. We both were looking forward to 5:00 and wine time.  Around 6:00, Evie roasted some red potatoes and we had a premade fish dinner from Wegmans which just needed to bake for 15 minutes. The fish was not bad. We watched another episode of The Pitt, then a couple of Colberts, and ended the night with Hometown. Evie went up to bed and I watched another episode of C.B. Strike before going up to bed.
