1220 February 24, 2025 Rainy Work Day

I woke up, saw that it was light outside and hurried to get out of bed.  I knew that the forecast for today was for wind and rain and I wanted to get my walk in first thing.  I was brushing my teeth when the rain began.  It was light at first and the weather app showed that there would be a break…but sometimes the weather app lies!  It poured all morning!

I had a list of things I was saving for a rainy day.  I did a bunch of stuff on the computer, sending emails, and making phone calls. Then, I started to work to gather everything I need to do our taxes.

Tim got a break in the rain at around 3:30 this afternoon. he was eager to get outside. He took his bike and went for a ride but only after I promised to rescue him if he got caught in a downpour.

I didn’t want to quit in the middle of getting taxes ready and so I worked until 4pm.

Tim still wasn’t back and so I did some cleaning as well.

It was apparently very wet out there! Tim sent several texts while he was out riding.

Tim biked around the entire island of Key West…13 miles. In many places, the water was higher than his bike pedals and it was hard for him to discern where the curbs and sidewalks were. There were several cars and golf carts stalled put and abandoned. Tim stopped once at Truman Waterfront Park to wring the water out of his socks. He got back home and his shoes and socks were sopping wet. He didn’t think that I would have enjoyed this little adventure…thank goodness I was working on taxes…never thought I would actually sat that!

I made a salad with beets and oranges and greens and I used the special orange olive oil and orange balsamic vinegar. I added some fresh mozzarella and some nuts and chicken. It was pretty tasty!

I was glad to have a rainy day and so much to occupy my time. It was very productive! No one wants to do taxes on a bright and sunny day!
