7:32
It's 8:05, and I've been up since 7:30. I'm tempted to go paddling but also plan on pickleball, so there isn't enough time for both. Honestly, I'm too lazy to get up and kayak — though I still feel a little guilty about it. The sun just broke through the clouds, forcing me to move seats to escape the glare. Life is tough. A few minutes later, I looked outside to find it clouding over and getting windy, which eased my conscience considerably.
Mallards Exploring Our Front Yard This Morning
Tuesdays are always busy, especially in the morning. We were both up at 7:00, made coffee, and spent a relaxed half hour on our devices, reading the Times and the Post. Evie showered around 8:00 while I wrote the blog and had breakfast — my usual yogurt and healthy staples. Evie read and published the post at 9:00, and I got ready to leave for yoga at 9:30. Courtney's class is always a different experience from Thursday's Yin — more rigorous and demanding. Afterward, I drove to Wegmans and made a quick run through the store on a very busy 5% Tuesday. The decent weather had everyone out shopping.
I was home just after noon and hungry, so I heated up some ramen and made a ham-and-cheese sandwich. Still struggling to find something to watch, I landed on a Romanian series — a first for me — called Subteran. It's not great, but watchable. Just as I was about to head upstairs for a nap, Evie came home from school. As always, she enjoyed being with the kids, but was glad to be back. I started a new book, The Terminal List, which felt familiar since I'd seen the film adaptation a while back.
I napped for about half an hour, then read on the couch until restlessness got the better of me. I headed outside and spent a solid half hour gathering deadfall and stuffing it into garbage pails to haul up to the woodpile. It always feels good to get that done.
Blue Skies And A Tidy Yard
At 5:00, Evie had a Zoom call with her sisters, so I watched some TV until she finished at 5:45. We then relaxed for an hour over a glass of wine before hunger set in. Dinner was the leftover eggplant pasta, reheated and somehow just as delicious — we wondered aloud why we don't make it more often. We watched Hometown and another episode of Landman before Evie turned in. I caught some of the Cavs game and an episode of Subteran, then headed up to read and sleep.
“We don’t have people around the president who will say no. And even if we did, he wouldn’t listen to that,” the foreign policy analyst continued.
“And everybody in Washington knows that. All the guardrails, all the processes, all the systems that have evolved over time to avoid just this kind of catastrophe have been shut down, broken down, run around, and we’re left with a decaying, elderly, ignorant, paranoid, vainglorious, deluded commander in chief making it up as he goes along.”
