Ice on the Canal

I didn’t get to everything I’d hoped to this weekend, but I did enough.

Most importantly, I spent time with friends every day.

I got outside into the sun both yesterday and today. Yesterday it was for a walk to Georgetown and today it was a bike ride over to NoMa to eat cupcakes with Sarah. I also spent time at the garden, putting my plot to bed. Much like with myself, I’m doing this far too closely to when I’ll need to wake it up (peas go in next month!), but better than not putting it to bed at all.

I went to the library, the grocery store, the hardware store, and a couple shops where I didn’t buy anything.

I got rid of the compost and picked up some produce and bread products at the farmers market.

I ate actual real food and not just cereal straight out of the box (that was Thursday night).

I didn’t do much cleaning or laundry, but I did deal with all the flood-related materials, and there’s now a gigantic bag of clean, dry towels just waiting for the next time we get two straight days of rain. And I’ve got a load of clothing ready to go into the wash tomorrow, when fewer of my neighbors will be queueing up for the machine.

While I spent a lot of time reading, I will not finish my book, Beth & Amy, before bed, much to my dismay.

Along with the book and the laundry, there are some other things that will trickle into this week, and that’s as it should be. I mean, I’ll need cookies to eat in the middle of the week, too.

How was your weekend?

after so much snow and not walking for three days we managed to get out for a walk yesterday! It was sunny but cold. I love winter but I’m not a fan of the ice and the amount of snow they dump on the roads.
