First things first, to the lab to have lipid panel for insurance application. Ah, that tangerine never tasted so good! I had been fasting for 24 hours, plus being careful about eating and drinking for over week. I do feel good, and am inspired to place mindful eating as a top priority in my new retirement lifestyle.
I deposited myself in line at Arch's smog check station for Xene's test. She passed, good girl. Next I was ready for coffee, so I got a free cup at Starbucks. The quest for a winter jacket for Alexa continued.
I arrived an hour early at Summer Thyme to meet retired friends, Nancy and Sally. I was starving, so I ordered a healthy sweet potato quesadilla. It was filled with cumin spiced potato, a bit of cheese and cilantro, and tons of finely shredded cabbage. I thought I'd eat half and finish it off when the girls arrived. I polished off the whole thing and was satisfied all afternoon. I began reading a charming gardening book, Eat More Dirt, and chatted on the phone with Auntie Carol about her Europe trip and life. Sally, Nancy, and I jabbered for an hour when they arrived at 11. It was delightful.
I found a perfect purple winter jacket for $5.50.
After paper and computer work, I worked a couple of hours in the garden until dark. The sunset was gorgeous. I poured a glass of wine and sat on the deck to enjoy it.
