Ice Dancing

Last night, I had just shut my light off when Harlee came in to snack on Zara and Mimi's food. Then she came over to see what I was doing. I turned the light on, and she climbed on top of me. So for a while, I had all three cats plus one human in one bed. Crowded :) 

 

I got up at 10, but decided to go back to sleep for an hour. Slept an hour and a half. Scrambled to make breakfast before the ice skating. Watched the ice dancing, which was exquisite. Confused the cats by washing their food dishes on one commercial break and feeding them during another break. I thought that the men's skating was later today, but it must have been yesterday. Oh well.   

 

Now I'm wondering if they broadcast the US championships.

 

Not only has it been raining, but we got some hail. A good day to stay home.

 

I think I might take a short nap and lose my headache, and then get to cleaning. Need to make banana bread too. 

Even Watching Skating Is Expensive

The US figure skating championships will be in Detroit next year in early January. I wonder if I could visit my mom and go. Just checked the price last year, and it was $350. Holy cow. Maybe not.

Now it's snowing/sleeting. I suppose that we had to have one more winter storm.

They rebroadcast the men's skating, although I've been missing half of the skating because I was thinking that the scheduled time was Central Time rather than Eastern Time. Oops. Many falls in the men's program too. Nathan Chen of the US won the gold, and he didn't fall.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. Yum.

Got a lot of cleaning done on the kitchen. Scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen floors.

I want to make my banana bread now and put it into the oven, and then pretreat the living room and hall carpets so that I can wash them tomorrow.

All in all, a productive day.

Oh, I watched an interesting program on CNN called Sex and Love Around the World. This episode was about New Delhi. I'm considering asking my mom to talk on Fridays instead of Saturdays so that I can watch it.
