Optimistic About Another Good Day

After almost six years and nine months, I hesitate believe that our high moments will continue indefinitely. That said, since Monday afternoon  everything has gone well. That lifts my spirits and leads me to feel more optimistic about the day ahead.

Last night we went to Casa Bella for Jazz Night. This was a night change from Opera Night and Broadway Night. Kate and I both enjoyed it. I like the fact that provides another monthly musical performance that both of us can enjoy. Besides being entertaining, we also enjoy the company of those with whom we share a table. Typically, it is with the couple are are the senior owners of the restaurant (now retired). These programs are perfect for us because they start at 6:00 for dinner with the music beginning around 7:00. We are through by 8:30. This means Kate gets to bed a little later than other nights but not by much.

We got off to a good start this morning. I slept a little later, 6:05. That meant there was a little light when I took my walk. Right now it is so warm and humid in the morning, I prefer to walk in the dark. When I returned home, Kate was up. I thought that might mean an early trip to Panera. I was wrong. About 8:15, she came into the kitchen and said she was going outside. I was surprised because this is only the second time in many months that she has not come out ready for Panera. When I expressed my surprise, she said she would want go for muffin later. We did and have come back home for a break before lunch. She was feeling a little tired and is resting right now.

The sitter comes at 1:00; so I will plan for us to leave for lunch at 11:30. On Fridays we normally go to Applebee’s which is very close to our home. That will make it easy for me to get back home and put on my gym clothes before the sitter arrives. Because Kate has accepted the sitters so naturally, I don’t expect a problem today.
