A Day for Ducks

It's been raining all morning, with occasional torrential downpours.

I thought that my hair appointment was at 8:15 AM. I got there 10 after 8. It was at 8:45. So I went to a coffeeshop and had a large chai with an "adult" grilled cheese (with pear in it, which is surprisingly tasty). The chai was inspired for a soggy day like today.

A street was blocked off on my way home. I wonder if a power line or tree branch came down.

Now I'm back home, freshly shorn and looking much better. I just fed the hordes, and am about to take a nap. I didn't go to the grocery store because it's raining. I'm hoping that the rain will stop later.

Wintry Mix

Apparently I reset my clock when I was setting the alarm, so I woke up early from my nap. The alarm kept on starting up again, when though I thought that I shut it off. My neighbors must love me.

The rain has turned into a wintry mix and now to snow. So far, my friend hasn't called to cancel the movie. (Boy, am I being a soft Midwesterner!)

Trying to figure out what to do before it's time to go to the movie. Unpacking of some sort. Wait, Zara has commandeered my lap.

Need coffee.

Movie Matinee

The movie (Murder on the Orient Express) was meh. I was reading reviews of it, and someone asked "Why do we care?" That's about right. I'd like to see the older version of it, which is supposed to be better.

There was a special at the movie theater in which a humongous tub of popcorn and soda was cheaper than a small popcorn and soda. I ate it all. Yikes. Then my friend wanted to go out to eat, so we went to Steak and Shake. They didn't have a lot of vegetarian options, so I had a burger. I am stuffed.

Got loads of veggies at the grocery store for various meals. I'm planning lots of cooking tomorrow.

Talked to my mom. She's doing well. Her doctor ran some tests on her bone marrow and blood, and they came out well.

I'm exhausted. I'm going to feed the girls and crash. At least I can sleep in tomorrow. Harlee is already curled up on the bed.
