Rami And Tin Tin

It's 8:35, and Beth's at school, Evie's still sleeping — Rami and I are the only ones up. I woke feeling terrible, still coughing and battling a headache, though I'm hoping the Tylenol will kick in soon.  I don't have the energy to be helpful.

Sunday's on-and-off rain made it a perfect day to settle in with the Masters. Beth was busy early, putting away things that had been in storage and helping Rami set up his den. Over coffee, we put together a grocery list, thinking ahead to dinners for the week. By 10:30, the blog was finished, and Evie and Beth headed off to Central Market, leaving Rami and me at home with the dogs. We spent a good half hour in the garage assembling a rack for storing plastic boxes — and by the time we wrapped up, Beth and Evie were already back and putting away groceries.

Kaia Avoiding The Rain

I had a bowl of Trader Joe's chicken soup for lunch and tried to nap, but the coughing wouldn't let me rest. Eventually, I gave up and joined Rami in the living room to watch the Masters. It turned out to be a dramatic finish — McIlroy had fallen two strokes behind before steadying himself and pulling off a one-stroke win. While we watched, Beth and Evie put together dinner: pasta with sausage, butternut squash, and sage, which was delicious. In the evening, we watched the final episode of Drops of God, and by 9:00 everyone was ready for bed — except me. I stayed up to watch The Capture on Prime. All in all, it wasn't an easy day.
