I'm not writing an essay today. Yesterday's essay was kind of painful to write, and not that good so I'm off today. I spent the whole day just relaxing. Balt had me up at 4am though. I built a big fire and we sat on the couch together reading and watching the news. There's a great story in the Times on Snapchat, that I thought I could use some of to write my essay on, maybe another day. I do really like Snapchat. Balt and I got out a little after 7am for our walk and went about 4 miles. It was chilly (39 degrees) by sunny and nice. I came home and made a big breakfast and then started working on my king size crazy t-shirt quilt. I am about half way done sewing all the shirts together. I plan to get fleece for the back side. I stopped working at 3pm to run and pick up my vegetables and then go to a yoga class. I came home and made stir fry with all new organic vegetables and a few old ones. After showering, I ate dinner watching Behind the Candelabra with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas on Amazon. It was a great way to end the day. I'm going to bed early, just in case I get woken up at 4am again.
