June 3, 2003 ~ A Day in My Life, Illustrated, Part IV

(continued from Part I, Part II, and Part III. Mouse-over images for commentary.)

6:15 p.m. After an uneventful drive, I'm home:

our house

Noah the neighborhood was already rolling around and begging in greeting:

Noah the lovable neighbor-cat

And Morgan greeted me at the door:

he's a sweety, despite his gruff look

7:00 p.m. After a little talking and winding down, we headed out to walk to the Co-op for dinner groceries:

hey, are you taking my picture?

time to pick out produce

We got back home, and I changed out of my muddy boots and chords into my favorite velvet skirt, the one that I converted from an ugly old dress I found at the Goodwill. Also pulled my hair back. Morgan and I headed out to the backyard for a bit:

After we got back inside, it started pouring down rain again:

rain rain rain

I was hungry and wanted to make dinner, but obviously Morgan had other plans:

messing around online

If you listen very closely to that picture, you can hear me in the background, "Come on, let's make dinner. Hey, Morgan, I'm hungry; let's start dinner. Honey? Can we start dinner?" heh.

8:15 p.m. Finally, Morgan agreed to get started on dinner. I peeled garlic then soaked the cloves in olive oil, while he cooked balsamic glazed onions:

meanwhile, wash some accumulated dishes

Eventually, dinner was done! Table set, we have spaghetti with sautéed green chard and balsamic glazed onion with tomato, garlic oil, and fresh basil on the side:

and it was delicious, too

Some close-ups:

Morgan after dinner:

9:30 p.m. After some clean-up, I settled down to read on the laptop:

10:15 p.m. Phone call to a friend. Gotta love free long distance in the evenings:

talking on the phone

10:35 p.m. Some more reading.

11:00 p.m. Shower. Other bedtime stuff.

12:00 a.m. or so, head for bed:

sleep, sweet sleep

...retreat to Part III...
