 Thursday May 13, 2021

Up at 0645.  Encountered bright sun and 33 degrees.

Nancy dressed for an exercise class at MVP.  No swim today.  Later she is having lunch with college friend, Karen Horlings.

The only thing I have on today’s agenda is to purchase a lottery ticket.  Always buy a ticket on the 13th.

Completed my calisthenics and then had breakfast.  Oatmeal and banana.

Put on warm bike clothes and headed to Panera on Lake Eastbrook Blvd.  Today I took an eight mile route.

Ordered coffee and two plain bagels before starting my morning blog writing and read.

This and that from the news:

Gas is flowing in Colonial pipeline.  It has been reported that Colonial paid a ransom of $5m

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very serious.

Can anyone figure out the stock market.  It has been going down lately but today at 1100 it is up over 400.

CDC issues “no mask required” order.   It does not apply to plane trips or health care visits.  Michigan has not commented so I will wear mask until I hear from our dictatorial Gov.

The GOP continues to implode.

Got home from Panera at 1215.  Total miles pedaled 12.7.

Showered and shaved before lunch of yogurt w/Fiber 1 and Ensure drink.

Nancy got home from lunch at 1400.  She said it was a good lunch.  She and Karen talked for 2 hours.

This afternoon I stopped at Meijer’s to get gas for the Escape.  Also bought lottery ticket.

At D&W I bought 1/2 pound of coleslaw to have with dinner tonight.  

This afternoon I filled out a medical history sheet for next weeks visit to Dermatologist.  At least I could complete the questionnaire on-line.  However the program the Dermatologist uses is different from our GP, ENT and hip doctor.  No connectivity between programs.  

For dinner tonight Nancy fixed Trader Joe’s Cod dinner.  Also peas and coleslaw.  Very good.

Before dinner Nancy FaceTimed Akerke.  They had a nice talk.

Tonight we watched another episode of Virgin River.  It was dark and gloomy.  

Finished the evening with an episode of New Tricks.

It was cold when checked courtyard and garage at 2200.  Freeze warnings are up.
