Salsa & Football

After falling asleep on the sofa early the night before I netted upwards of 9 hours total sleep. I felt more than rested. Up at 530am, I started my day with exercises. It was mostly clear and near 60 degrees when Frankie and I headed out back. After coffee and internet I did my usual morning meditation and stretch regimen. It was 635am when I dashed off for my run. Home by 715am, I prepped breakfast and organized my lunch. Unfortunately, Mindy didn’t have vegetables cut and prepackaged. Not wanting to fool with it myself, I ended up skipping them for the day. Breakfast consisted of two fried eggs and fruit. Off to the Shower at 740am. I woke Mindy with coffee and the pug. Mindy and the kids planned to visit her friend Teri in Westerville. I figured it likely a golf day so I put a pair of shorts in my backpack and loaded my golf clubs into the back of the BM’er. Left for work at 810am Work day was very, very busy. I emailed the Bob’s mid-day inquiring about golf. Bob I immediately responded that he wouldn’t be able to partake. My day got crazy through the afternoon, and even though Bob B responded that he could make golf, I didn’t see his message until much later in the evening. In fact, It wasn't until I got home. I didn't leave the office until 600pm. Mindy called around 430pm. I advised her that I most likely wouldn’t be golfing. She was still in Westerville and warned that she hadn’t planned on making dinner due to golf. I didn’t really mind. By the time I got home from work Mindy and the kids were home. Mindy had a plethora of leftovers heated and ready for consumption. There was leftover Minelli’s pizza, chicken & noodles, and mashed potatoes. Aside from the pizza, which Bella also wanted, none of it tickled my fancy. I ended up eating about four or five small slices of the pizza and then made a soft tortilla filled with melted cheese. Mindy could tell that I wasn’t overly excited about the offerings. After clean-up, I headed out to water flowers. Things were drying out once again. I was frustrated to find that critters are still finding a way to our tomato plants, no doubt from under the deck. They/it had bitten into every single ripe tomato on the vines. While Mindy was down visiting the neighbors, I headed back inside and whipped up the season’s first batch of salsa using tomatoes we had picked days earlier. I purposefully used only one habanera to keep the kick suitable to a more neutral palet. I placed the entire batch in the fridge to allow it to settle. There was an NFL football game on, New England and Atlanta. I was eager to watch. For the remainder of the evening, I enjoyed football, chips and salsa.
