Tuesday Monday

 It was 6 degrees outside when I checked my phone this morning.

I see inside recess on the horizon.

Long weekends are great, but I think they make the day back seem extra gloomy.  But my bed!  It's so warm!  And it's so dark! And cold!

We had a good day yesterday.  We ran some errands together and I went through the little file cabinet in my office and Adam went through his closet.  I baked a cake and almost botched it by forgetting the sugar.  (I remembered in time.)  It was a lemon olive oil cake that I made for YEN and it had different ingredients and procedures than I was used to and I just forgot the sugar!  My yelp when I made the discovery prompted Adam to emerge from his office.  He said, "Is there something I can do for you?"

Later, at YEN, our neighbor Rod was enjoying the cake so Adam told him the story and said, "It has always been like this.  I hear a blood-curdling scream and ask Thelma what is wrong and she dropped a spoon."

I think that is an exaggeration.  

Maybe.

I also talked to Olivia and Braeden on the phone and received text messages with Emma and Braeden's inauguration thoughts (my thought was not to watch it).

The day was capped off by going to YEN.  The way we ended up sitting, our cul-de-sac was at one table and everyone else was at another.  We wondered if we were elite and had excluded them or vice versa.  Whatever it was, I enjoy our group.  I would have happily sat by anyone.  

We came home and Adam read to me and I will have to remember that coziness as I go out into the cold world this morning!
