Windy And Overcast

 

7:06

It's 8:00, and I've been up for an hour. I paddled for 15 minutes but had to return because of the heavy winds and waves. It's 48º and it looks like an overcast day, with the possibility of some rain. 

A Brief Kayak Morning

Friday began with a nice, long paddle and a couple of great photos of herons. I was back home, enjoying a coffee by 7:30 when Evie got up. Evie wanted to give a deep cleaning to our dining room, so before I left for coffee and grocery shopping at Wegmans, we moved the furniture into the living room. I met the guys at 9:30, had my coffee and then went to Wegmans, stopping on the way home to get my car washed. When I returned, Evie had been busy cleaning despite an annoying cough and cold. She wanted a couple of things done, so I went outside and cleaned and washed the dining room windows, then installed screens, something we hadn't done in years. We started putting things back around noon, after Evie had dusted or washed down the blinds and furniture. One room down, more to go.  Before lunch, I sprayed Ortho Home Defense around the porches and the foundation of the house. Hoping it will keep the spiders and other pests away.

Lunch was the leftover chicken and rice, and I started a new series, Department Q, which just dropped on Netflix. By 1:30, the dining room was back in order and we were able to relax for much of the afternoon. I am reading the first Jack Reacher novel, Killing Floor, again, and I also took a nap. It felt good to relax the rest of the afternoon, either reading or watching some TV. 

We enjoyed happy hour with sushi from Wegmans, and dinner was steak, mushrooms, and home fries. We watched the final episode of Our Neighbors and Friends. It felt like the writers decided to end the series and things were abruptly resolved and they all lived happily ever after. Ridiculous. After Evie went to bed I watched another episode of Netflix's Department Q.
