Took my morning miles at -1° today, which seems to have added some pep to my stride as I recorded my best time of the month. Coffee, made tea for Margaret (actually do that most days, but I wanted to include something to separate ‘coffee’ from the upcoming ‘shower’), cleaned up, hot breakfast, Morning Prayer, and ready to begin the day. Did I mention that I sent off The Last Essay yesterday? I’m almost drunk with relief, and it’s only 9:30 in the morning.
