lblanchard | A day where not much happened...

Random shot from last week's trip to the BioPond

I went shopping with Sybil on the early side and was back by 11:45. I sliced up the second loaf of bread from Sunday's bake in preparation for freezing, and decided I needed, nay deserved, a bread-and-butter binge, so I ate four heavily-buttered slices. (The scale had Opinions this morning but I don't care. I'm still below goal weight.)

I also decided that I needed, nay deserved, an afternoon with no Stupid Little Daily Walk, so I stayed home, worked on Pennsylvania Abolition Society awards paperwork, and watched another episode of The Wheel of Time while knitting.

After dinner (meatloaf with oven-roasted potatoes and carrots) I took myself upstairs to join a Lord of the Rings read-along via Zoom. This is going to be a weekly thing, every Tuesday at 8:30, and I have mixed feelings about continuing. It runs until well after the time I'm accustomed to retiring to bed.

Today I will have an Adventure. It is the PACSCL annual general meeting; it's in person at the Wagner Free Institute of Science, a favorite place that I don't visit enough, and I have been tapped to give the testimonial to the retiring chair. Tomorrow I will have another Adventure: said retiring chair has invited a select group of us to a farewell dinner at the Caribou Cafe. And Friday Roy and I are planning to visit the Athenaeum so that he can see the exhibition of Philadelphia photographs before the Athenaeum closes down for a summer of renovations. Meanwhile, Roy walked almost a mile yesterday and is quite pleased with himself.

STATS: Morning weight, 147.8. Yesterday's steps: 3,005. Workouts: none.
