Dark Skies, Windy, Perhaps Some Flurries

7:12

8:37

It’s 7:40, and I’ve been up since 7:00, watching the flag wave and wondering whether to kayak on this 34º morning. The temperature doesn’t worry me, just the wind and waves. I decided to give it a try and got in a short paddle, maybe 20 minutes into the northern wind. On my way back, it started to snow, the first of the fall.

Kayak Morning

Paddling North Towards Falling Snow

Thursday was back to normal, at least in the morning. We were both up early, at 7:00. I skipped paddling because of the weather and was off to breakfast in Bemus at 7:40. When I returned, we finished up the blog, Evie left for school at 9:30, and I followed at 9:40 for yoga. It had been a couple of weeks since I’d gone, because I would rather ride my bike if it was pleasant out. Class was as usual, at least 20 of us, including a couple of guys. It was easy, but halfway through I started to feel off, with a bothersome stomach and chills. I didn’t stop for coffee after class and came straight home, deciding on some veggie soup for lunch. I didn’t feel awful, just a bit off. The soup tasted good, and I watched my show.

Around 1:00, I went upstairs to read but quickly got tired and napped for a good hour. I woke feeling better, came downstairs, and took it easy, reading and relaxing on the couch. I even felt like a glass of wine at 5:00, so I must have been feeling better. 

Windy Wine Time

Dinner was another packaged chicken and rice, decent, not great, but easy. We watched some TV, and at 8:15 I watched some of the Giants/Commanders game, followed by an episode of my series, Mayor of Kingstown. By bedtime, I was feeling practically normal, so I don’t know why I felt bad earlier in the day. I feel normal this morning.
