19 January, Monday: I walked in the rain to get coffee. What a rotten day. At least it’s not very cold. Fun to notice all the various rainwear. Lots of students bundled up on their wet way to school, but perhaps it’s not cool to use umbrellas because they don’t. Instead they walk together wet and laughing. We adults all use umbrellas and despite that, get wet anyway. It made me laugh.

Carole and I were the only ones in the office today and were busy, even though there weren’t many phone calls.

I got home at 5:45 and made dinner. Salad and, get this, parsnip croquettes. Oh my they were good. I’d bought them a few days ago ready-made. Parsnips and potatoes with gruyere cheese and rolled in breadcrumbs. Just popped them in the oven and mmm-mmm good.

After I ate I worked on emails for a while and now am sitting on the couch with my feet on the coffee table—feeling very comfortable. Sorry this edition is boring but that’s the way it is. It wasn't boring for me--I like work. But it's not much to read about.

I have a feeling my work week will be like this. Nothing more than work, dinner and bed. But that’s fine. My weekends will make up for it. I hope.
