Monday

Today is Monday and looking out the window it is pretty dreary evening. Heavy rain and wind and nobody in his right mind is on the streets.

Well, nobody except us. My lovely wife decided to go to a Chinese pastry shop and get some pastry. So, what does an obedient husband do? Gets dressed and goes. We went out. I don't wish this weather on anybody.

Our tiny rental car braved the elements but if the water were to be a little higher we would had to row.

To add insult to injury in our side of the building the elevator is shut down for the week for repairs. No elevator until Friday 5 pm.

We live on the third floor but the building has a lobby floor which makes us four levels up. Waking up and down is not a joy so until Friday we have to seriously weigh the necessity of going out. Fortunately we love our apartment and staying indoors is not a burden.

Because of some tests in her school Abigail is staying home until next Tuesday.

Peace and quiet will be a myth in this household for a while.
