8:04--Woke up, got dressed. The DH was already awake and watching the news in the living room. I went and made some breakfast for both of us (toast, bacon and eggs), and went to join him.

9AM--Showered and got dressed, tidied the house a bit, took down most of our inside Christmas decorations (except for the tree), and then did some research on the comp for a story I'm working on. The DH went out to work on cleaning the garage. Around noon, we had lunch and watched a couple of episodes of "Galavant" that we'd recorded. That show is hilarious; it reminds me of "Monty Python".

About 1PM we went out on errands; a grocery run and a stop at the pharmacy to pick up some prescription refills. Got home about 3:30 and put away the groceries. We talked about taking the tree down, but decided to wait, since we have to find something to put the tree in--its box kind of disintegrated this year. The DH watched some Westerns on TV, and I did some knitting and read some fanfic.

5:30 I made supper (steak, baked potatoes and salad) and then I knitted for a while as we watched watched an episode of "Fixer Upper" (I LOVE Chip and Joanna Gaines). I knitted for a while as we watched, until Miss Belladonna decided to get on my lap and try to grab my needles. At 8, the State of the Union Address came on, so we watched that. Honestly, I can't believe how rude and disrespectful certain members of Congress are; I mean you don't have to agree with someone to at least pretend to pay a little bit of attention.

After it was over, the DH flipped channels a bit, and I went to clean up the kitchen. Then we got ready for bed. I read a little more fanfic before I turned my light out.

I really like that we all, mainly, lead what might be called 'ordinary' lives, but there is always something to catch the eye or, alternatively, make us realise how similar our lives are despite the miles between.

I was, for example, picking up my meds on Monday, and my mother's when I visited her today. And am about to get my knitting out :)

That is kind of cool, isn't it? So much is just day-to-day events. I guess that's what this project is all about.

Your dinners always sound so yummy :-)

<3 I love these precious glimpses you allow us into your life. And I must confess it comforts me to find your lives are so much like mine and D's in many ways. It makes me feel less worried that I'm approaching life wrong somehow, as odd as that may sound.

MDD is fun, because it forces me to post at *least* once a month about my day.

But I would guess our lives are like many older couples, just everyday tasks and errands most of the time, with occasional special events.
