It’s 8:55 as I start this, and we’re both up. I slept in until 8:00—an all-time high—and Evie slept a full ten hours. We should have a good day. The sky is mostly gray, though the sun is peeking out to the south. Our front yard is green once again now that the snow has melted, but the road and part of the parking area are still icy.
Friday was a lazy day, as neither of us did much, probably due to the rain, sleet, and snow, which made a morning walk impossible. After breakfast and the blog, I helped Evie clean the upstairs bedrooms by vacuuming each room—an easy job. Afterward, I drove to the Lighthouse to pick up some ground chuck for dinner. I passed the Chautauqua Institution gate and almost stopped for a walk, but didn’t—lazy boy. I was also supposed to pick up a four-wheel-drive loaner from Kia, but as I suspected, it wasn’t ready. They said they’d call when it came in. They didn’t. What a surprise.

For lunch, I had a salami sandwich on toast and watched my series until about 1:30, when I went upstairs to read and nap. I did—for a good hour. We read or watched TV for the rest of the afternoon, the house often buffeted by heavy winds, the sky threatening, but then, the sun came out, and we had blue skies.

We had planned on having a cabbage and ground beef stir-fry dinner, but around 4:00, due to heavy winds that filled our yard with deadfall, the electricity went out. So we sat in the dark for a couple of hours, nursing our wine and scrolling on our phones. We were still able to access the internet thanks to 5G. I’m not sure exactly when the power returned—around 6:45, I think—but by then it was too late to make dinner, and neither of us was very hungry anyway after munching on Dots Seasoned Pretzels Twists and dip.
We watched our series and settled for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. Yum. Evie went to bed at her usual time, and I watched a few minutes of the Indiana–Oregon game before returning to my series, The Fall. I watched until 10:30 and will start Season Two today.
