Plants are Good Company

Yesterday was another very quiet day. I just stayed home and sat on the couch. I ate things, did work, played some solitaire, did more work. You get the idea. Because it was supposed to get down below freezing on Sunday night, we brought in all the plants. I'm not sure if it did get below freezing but it's nice having the plants for company in the house. They have been out on the back porch all summer, and look unusually flourishing and happy.

Sometime in the afternoon, I went out and did the grocery shopping. It was very cold outside, a windy and grey day. Occasionally a little ball of ice would fall out of the sky, but it wasn't really precipitating in any serious way. Later Pocket of Bolts came home, and eventually we made it to the gym. Going to the gym in the late afternoon leads to late dinners: we sat down to pasta romano and green salad with citrus-pomegranate dressing at around eight.

We have gone back to watching Battlestar Galactica again (i.e., the new version), and are trying to rescue the colonists from their failed experiment on New Caprica. It's not easy, since Cylons are so sneaky. If that doesn't mean anything to you, never mind. Just doing a little geeking out.
