It’s not over yet, but today has been really, really nice. It started with much sleeping (the first time I’ve slept in in recent memory), then some hours of quiet productivity on the couch with an ice cold beverage, then a two-hour walk, then some quality time on the porch with more icy drinks and Winnie-the-Pooh (which my sister and I took it in turns to read to each other), and then some fun movies on TV. All in all a good day. Oh, and a phone conversation with my brother confirmed that he wasn’t caught in the forest fires that are raging in the boundary waters (where he was honeymooning).

Like I said, a good day.
