Easy Day on the Home Front

Paisley, On

Tuesday, Feb. 9^th was a nice day. It started as per usual on a day off. Bill left at 6:30 and I stayed in bed until 7:30. The day was starting out at -12C/10F according to my weather network. I quickly decided that I would wait for my walk until later in the day when it warmed up a few degrees.

Lunch today was looking good in the pan

And tasted good on my plate
I just made too much

After a cup of steaming creamy tea, thanks Mr. Keurig, I did some internet surfing on my laptop. I checked out the two online auctions that I’ve been watching as they are soon to close and I just might cash in on a good deal. 😊 The day seems to have gone by without me remembering how I passed the time. Yikes! I'm sure if I stop and think about it, it will come back to me.

I filled our pill container for the week
of our vitamins

I know I worked on the puzzle for a while this morning and because Wes was cleaning out the wood stove no heat out there made it a bit chilly. As long as I was involved in finding and placing pieces it wasn’t too bad. Around 10:30 or so, I made myself a cup of coffee and brought it upstairs. I crawled up on the bed and got involved in my book. LOL it is hard to put down!

There was a cool breeze today making the day feel colder
than -7C

At 12:15 I went down to start lunch and fried up a couple of eggs, peppers, pepperoni and cheese into an omelette roll-up. I thought I should avoid the tortilla carbs today and it was very good but too much. One egg would have been plenty, I was stuffed. 

I never noticed before that this is an 
Emergency Access to Balaklava St.

That explains why this trail is widened and easy to walk on

I dressed to go outside and took the mail keys for a walk. Only 1 ½ miles today out to the end of town, south, then down the back streets to the trail. I followed the trail all the way to the train bridge and cut down onto Mill Drive.

There were 4 squirrels, 3 brown (gray?) and 1 black

This one is contemplating the next branch up

It was a nice walk but I felt that I had gone far enough. On the way back I came down to the main street and the Post Office to check the mailbox. Nothing for us but Eddie and Wes got something so that makes it worthwhile to stop. I curled up on the bed with the book again until almost 2:30 when I went down to make up a recipe that I’d printed off a week ago. Keto Cinnamon Twists. They sound good and Bill loves cinnamon buns/rolls.

My first attempt making the twists was
messy and a little unorganized
BUT they were tasty and I'll do it again
with better preparation

When they were baked and cooling, I went out with a cup of tea to the garage and worked on the puzzle again. It is really coming along. I waited until Bill texted just after 4:30 before stopping. I hate to stop that as much as I hate to put my book down. Such hard choices! 

The second leg of the trail was normal width

And I came down without crossing the bridge

For supper tonight, not a hard choice. I got the last two filets of Basa out of the freezer for supper. Bill’s response was ‘oh good!’ so I did good thinking fish and chips. 😊

Our supper was bland looking
and maybe the fries needed another couple of minutes
for browning but it was a good meal
Dessert was a cinnamon twist each

We went down at 6 to begin; he does the fries in our Fry Daddy and I do the fish on the stove. Tonight, after Jeopardy, we all watched NCIS together. Susan calls it ‘Family Night’ and that’s fun! We all have a good time even though it isn’t often we get together like that. This was a good day and other than baking and my hobbies, I didn’t get too involved in anything important!
