The Middle Day

That’s the day that gets beat up by the other two. Just because.

Emily did not attend yoga this morning. I am shocked. Shocked to find out she is not. Current claim: I will go tonight at 5. Sure she will. I do hope she does, but have little faith.

I tried my cold brew this morning. The maiden voyage. Actually quite good though not sure how much $aving I achieved. It was a pain to make it. And a pain to strain it. Twice. I will keep at it till I am happy with the product and see if I can get in the habit of making it every two to three days. I don’t know yet.

We had a nice slow Sunday morning. Breakfast, coffee, cold brew (yay) newspaper. Nice. It’s 1230 now and Marika just left for work. Em and I are going to try and finish the shed. I will tell you that the shed is a black hole. It may never be emptied. I just want room in it for the rest of Christmas and the car crap. If I do that, Emily’s workshop will be in better shape. More able to do her glass projects with the added elbow room. I have goals.

It’s 7pm. We just quit in the shed. What a nightmare. Still not done. Emily is working alongside me, prob a mistake considering her condition. Of course, I have been working all day even though my sciatica is killing me. No worries. Two more hours in the shed tomorrow should help is get close to done.

We went out to dinner. Neither of us is cooking tonight. Drove downtown to the dumpling house. We had been talking about it for some time. I ordered a large plate for a low price. Emily got Kung pao chicken and we shared both. A lovely meal interrupted only by 20 texts from friend Cissie. I prob should have told her I was eating. No worries.

After dinner we walked a. Lock down to the Annex for dessert. We had been there Friday evening and seen the new menu and wanted to try it. Also, Marika was working and we could say hi.

The peach cobbler was excellent. Hard to screw that up and they didn’t. Also had a dish of ice cream too. Splurge a little.

Finished and went home. Both exhausted.
