Easing into Full Retirement

 

I dress to go out but often change back to work or exercise clothes once back at home. That way, my clothes don't get as dirty or smelly -- and don't need to be washed as often. My out-of-the-house time was spent at the vet. Frankie had an exam to get her presurgical evaluation. Since it's a physical, I asked them to reset the time that we do her annual exam to time off this. Her rabies shot was a few months early, but it makes more sense to do it at the annual check-up. Her procedure is scheduled for July 7th.

My outfit today was, of course all thrift. However, the headband came from Dollar Tree. My shoes are old -- like over ten years old. They are thrifted Enzo Angiolini. Because I don't wear shoes day in and day out, and because I switch things up, what I do have generally lasts a long time. One reason I don't follow trends and keep up with new fashions, is I wear things for years and thus I don't need to worry that they go out of style.

Being able to eat lunch with Tommy on the patio is so wonderful and so far, my favorite part of his retirement. This bowl is leftover stuff from our salmon dinner last night, mixed with cherry tomatoes that had to be consumed today, plus orzo.  It's tossed with a balsamic vinegar glaze and parmesan cheese. I served it cold.

My accounting of the day is a bit lame, because it was a lot of the same stuff I usually do. I mopped, did laundry, and made ice cream.  Frankie got a few walks but is pretty wrung out from vaccines. There are a few more chores left to do, the bathroom has been cleaned, and I sanded down the table for outside. Tomorrow, I plan on spending time on my painting, want to paint the table, and also *must* swim. 

I hope you had a terrific Tuesday and will have a wonderful Wednesday! Anything good planned?
