Nice breeze = great day

We had a nice breeze most of yesterday which equated to no pesky no-seeums - which always puts me in a good mood.  It was just a little cooler - high of 84 - which felt like a fall day :-)  I took the kayak out on my lunch break.  I was tempted to take the short cut trail through the mangroves that leads out to the harbor - as I really wanted to go and get some ice.  I got over to the trail - peeked in - and chickened out! That was a very narrow trail not much wider than the kayak, and basically just a tunnel through the mangroves... no space to turn around, and it looked a bit spooky.    I suppose I'll have to get my nerve up sometime....

It was a busy work/school day, but we wrapped up around 5 and I headed up to the boom to settle in for a good read.  Found a book I've been wanting to read at the library on Wednesday ----  Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson. He also wrote 3 Cups of Tea - which is my favorite book.  Anyway, it was beautiful up on the boom, nice view, blue sky -great breeze. i could look down into the water and see jelly fish floating by... Yes the jelly fish are back :-(  

I could have easily stayed in my perch until bug:30 but the crew was grumbling about dinner.  So I hopped down - not very elegantly, and headed off to play galley slave.  I managed to pull together a very nice Eggplant Parmesan - which is no easy feat in a small galley - with only a toaster oven!  I'd venture to say it was the best one I'd ever had.  Coleen did not agree, and found it to be a horrible dinner - not a huge fan of eggplant or zucchini.

Looking forward to a nice, quiet day where I can catch up on a lot of work tasks that have fallen to the wayside this week, due to multiple major crises...  Then it's weekend!!!  Got a fun time planned, but  more on that later....  for now, it's Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go.....  <of course for me that just means converting the bed back into a table :-) -- and maybe getting out of my jammies into some shorts....

Yep, life is not too bad on the ole Glass Slipper today!!!
