All's Gray And 36º

It's later than usual as I start this, 9:15. I didn't get up until almost 8:00 (yippee), and Evie's still sleeping at 9:15. I was out on the lake by 8:10 and was out for 50 minutes, my usual paddle down to Sandy Bottom, back, and along Woodlawn and home.

Friday was a good day because we got a lot done. I got in my usual paddle, making my morning. I then finished the blog, had breakfast, and fixed one of our kitchen drawers, which is always a pain, especially for someone like me. I then relaxed a bit, helped Evie a bit, and then realized it might rain in the afternoon, so I went outside, did some leaf raking, and powered up the lawn mower to mow and mulch the lawn, hopefully for the last time since the trees have lost their leaves. It took me a little over half an hour and that was my exercise for the day.

Lunch was the leftover shrimp pasta, still tasty, and I watched my show. I had a dentist appointment at 2:00, so I tried to take a brief nap, but to no avail. I read until 1:40, when I left for the dentist's office. I was getting a temporary crown so I will no longer need to wear a retainer.  I still have to be careful when I eat, avoiding the crown, but I will be able to go out to eat for the first time in weeks. It took around half an hour, and I have to go back to get it checked in January. If all goes well, then I will finally get a permanent crown. On my way home, for some reason, I must have wanted to spend money, so I stopped at Walmart and picked up goodies for a few dinners: frozen shrimp, freshly caught cod, and a chicken pot pie for two. 

I was home by 3:30 and read and relaxed until wine time at 5:00, when I read and relaxed once again, this time with a beer. Dinner was an Evie favorite, steaks and mushrooms, with baked potatoes, and we watched our show until Evie went up to bed. I don't change much so I watched some of the NBA and my show, The Asset, then went up to bed just after 10:00.
