Morning Fog

7:21

It’s 7:15, and we’re both up: Evie for school, me for breakfast at 8:00 in Bemus. The fog is so heavy we can hardly see beyond the dock. It's 9:20, and I just returned from breakfast. I am finishing up the blog and then going to yoga at 10:00, a busy morning.

Yesterday was another amazing autumn day, with blue skies, temperatures in the 50s, and light winds. I won’t go into our plumbers, who were supposed to arrive at 8:00. Let’s just say we’re still waiting for them. Because of the fog, I didn’t get out on the water until 8:30, but I managed to stay close to shore and avoid most of it. I was home by 9:15, wrote the blog, had breakfast, and then drove to Jamestown for PT. This was my second appointment, and we worked mostly on my balance for a half hour. I’m not sure it’s strengthening my left leg, but it was a good workout. I’ll go one more time and stick with the recommendations he printed out for me. On the way home, I stopped at Aldi and picked up some sea trout for dinner and a few other things Evie needed.

When I returned, Evie was busy going through clothes she no longer needs. She’ll donate them to a friend at school who knows of a free shop. It’s hell deciding what you no longer want or need. I had a chicken pot pie for lunch and watched my show. I’m making progress on my Jeffrey Archer novel, with maybe a third to go. After my nap, I read some, but I wanted exercise, so I drove to the Chautauqua Institution, rode the circumference twice, and was out for 50 minutes. It’s glorious riding through the tree-lined streets and past front yards in their various fall colors.

Returning home around 4:15, it was almost time for a glass of wine, a view of falling leaves, and Jake Tapper on CNN. For dinner, we had a salad with sea trout, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, and lettuce, our favorite way to enjoy either salmon or sea trout. We watched TV and ended the night with some of the Minnesota/Miami NBA game and Southland before going to bed.
