Pool day

Today was one of those lovely days where you look at the calendar, and the day is blank. No appointments, nothing planned. A sleep late day. Ellen was going out to do some errands and shopping, so I came with her and she dropped me off at the pool. So I just had some time on the machines and in the hot tub and pool. I'm limp as a piece of boiled spaghetti! Last night we watched a movie, Rainmaker. It was one of those "novice lawyer takes on the big, evil corporation" movies, starring Matt Damon as the young lawyer. We actually started watching The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep, but the DVD proved to be defective, so we switched. Ellen had bought both DVDs somewhere for $1.

Tomorrow, we're supposed to have tea with John and Cynthia, and Kathy and Tom, at J&C's house, giving Tom a chance to look at the possibility of building an addition on their house, like a "mother-in-law apartment," for Ellen and me. That looks like a better option than buying a big house where we could both live, because big houses seem to always come with big problems. But new construction is also very costly. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon is for freezing rain, so we may have to call it off.

Sunday I lead the choir in Dummerston in the morning, and then in the evening, we are having a Twelfth-night singing party at the house. About 14 of us. We'll be singing "carols we didn't get to sing" this season. That will be fun.
