All In a Lazy Day

It's laundry day. I had piles of it. I got most of it done today. I have another load that I could do, but I've done enough today. Laundry day used to be Mondays. Now it's if I get around to it once a month or so. At least by getting it done now, I mean folded and put away too. That has not always happened. Purgatory for me would be a job in a laundromat.

I walked a bit today, but did not take any pictures. The weather is a bit better than it was yesterday, but will return to the frozen fog sometime later tonight. There were a few neighbors out and about, a man walking with his toddler son, a lady walking her dog, various homeless people who always seem on the move. Still, I didn't get far before I just ran out of wind. I'm building my strength back, a little every day. I need too, I have miles to go before I can put this year to sleep. 

I also worked a bit on the hat I thought that I was designing, though not with near the enthusiasm I had in the past. I think that it will be a handsome hat when it is finished, just without the originality that I was hoping for. 

I have started to plan for my trip to Chicago in March. Mollie and Chris are finally getting married in an outrageously expensive service and reception on the third of April. It would make an expedient lot of sense to just take the Empire Builder back across. It is the shortest and least expensive route. But I'm thinking that I'd like to see a bit more of the country on this trip. I may take the Costal Starlight down to Sacramento and the California Zephyr across to Chicago. If I get the USA Rail Pass, it will only cost slightly more than if I purchase just two of the tickets. I just wish the time of year was better. Late March, early April isn't prime viewing time for most of the country. I'll want to make the trip again in the fall. 

The cat still lives. The tree still comforts him.
