almost back

Today I retrieved some of my will power. I got up at 6:30 (late!), ate my orange and checked a recipe online before I swam at 7:40. I crawled into the unmade bed when I returned and fell asleep but woke in time to recover my identity.

I was checking how to cook fiddleheads. My grocery delivery had them and I ordered some; they came yesterday. So I was trying to remember how to cook them and wondering with whom I could share them and found the right person in the pool. She’s coming for dinner tonight so I can’t goof off. I’m thawing chicken thighs for a sheet-pan dinner with roasted sweet potatoes. I have fresh raspberries for dessert and my friend is going to bring her delicious chocolate-nut thingies. Lovely start to a long weekend.

The outdoor pool opens today. I hope the air is warm.

So now I’ll get to work. I have letters to write.
