I didn&#8217;t feel great on Saturday, so I napped in the afternoon, messing up my plans for a productive day. But I felt much better when I got back up in the evening, and Rudi and I took a trip down to the garden to harvest some things that we ended up not eating, followed by a trip to Trader Joe&#8217;s to pick up some more things that we ended up not eating. We did eat some things already living in our fridge, though, thereby making room for our new acquisitions. We watched Rudi&#8217;s Red Sox beat the Yankees, and then I watched the Mets beat the Padres. I knit and then listened to my audiobook.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I sallied forth to the farmers market. I bought a lot of strawberries and the first zucchini and green beans of the season, as well as a variety of other odds and ends.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the later part of the afternoon at the pool for my first real swim since August 2019. (I&#8217;ve been to beaches since then, but either temperatures or rip tides made me decline to do more than dunk myself and then run back to my towel.) It was glorious. I swear the pool was Bahamian blue (or at least what it looks like on tv) and the trees practically glowed green, but that may just have been my joy at some sense of summer normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled some spring greens out (all the arugula and some of the spinach) and yanked more violet leaves and bunching onions in an effort to find places for all my new plants. A few remain to be planted, which will force me to leave work at a reasonable enough time to spend an hour at the garden early this week. And then Rudi and I watched the Kennedy Center Honors before he retired and I raced the clock to finish my audiobook. (Downloading to your phone is very convenient, until you&#8217;re at the last day with more chapters remaining than you&#8217;d like before it stops being playable.)<\/p>\n<p>The week ahead holds our baseball seat lottery for the rest of the season, hopefully my volleyball championship, and possibly a belated birthday outing for Rudi.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have a great start to the week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By and large, it was a quiet weekend.
