In spite of the yukky weather yesterday we had a pleasant day yesterday. I did some last minute work to finish up the volunteer duty this year and then we were off to the Lincoln Center branch of the NY Public Library. We returned some books and browsed a bit but there was nothing we wanted to check out so we left, walking underground as much as possible to avoid the slushy rain.
We then took the subway to 42nd Street, transferred to the Shuttle and went to Grand Central Station where we then walked to the Transit Museum Annex. They have a nice, small train village set up using old and new trains traveling through an approximation of Manhattan. It was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We came back home (with a stop at the grocery store to buy milk), dried out and I made Tuna Glop for dinner. It was quite good considering the cold, wet weather. After dinner we watched Elf (the Will Ferrell movie). A cute, sweet movie. I then went to bed and slept until 7am. The morning was spent doing laundry. I did more than planned because the usual bustling laundromat was empty so I did the regular laundry, came home and took the slipcover off the couch and washed that, and then, when the extra large machine was empty I came home and took the comforter off the bed and washed that! In all it took about 4 hours. Then we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy a new blue bath mat and scented pine cones. After that I rode the stationary bike for 90 minutes and now I'm caught up with posts and posting. It's been a very productive day. Tonight we dine with a dear friend who helped volunteer.
I will now leave you all to go check the mail. It's a trip down 3 flights of steps and back up 3 flights of steps so there better be something in that mailbox!
