random thoughts – Day 1,776 – (Sunday) – sunday chilling

Some days there isn’t too much going on. This isn’t a bad thing.

It was sunny and warm enough for some snow melt. I left the house with my coat wide open and no gloves and didn't regret it. There was a visit to Family Dollar on the way to dance class for the usual small housewares. Today it was drywall anchors and screws to fix the curtain rod that fell down, caramel macchiato coffee creamers, onion soup mix, and toothpaste. After dance, in an unusual move, there were no stops made on the drive home. Market Basket looked busy and there was nothing that couldn’t wait a few more days or even a week.

Not so welcome mat.

At home, the leaf filter gutter guard things installed last summer seem to have solved the big icicle problem and replaced it with another one. Now, there are small icicles and steady drippage that created a ledge of ice immediately outside the back door and along the driveway on the shaded side of the house. It's nature's version of a not so welcome mat and a good thing I got the snow melt pellets last weekend. 

In a rare twist, the afternoon passed as slowly as a work day, but unlike a work day, it was very welcome situation. Time stretched out like taffy and I enjoyed it.

Kiki napping.

Kiki napped in her chair all day and then disappeared upstairs. I think she enjoyed the day, too, but I’ll ask her when she come back downstairs to confirm.
