On Monday

On Monday, daughter worked from home.  I got up with her and made her a cup of coffee and made myself a cup of tea.  Then, while she worked, I sat outside in the sunshine (it was warmer outside than inside the house) and read my morning prayers.  Later, I watered the back garden.  

For brunch, we had leftover waffles with bacon and syrup. 

In the afternoon, I read a few blogs and relaxed.  Then, it was time for tea and news.  Later, I took the trash cans to the curb for pick up in the morning.

For dinner, I cooked a pot of rice, sauteed green beans, and peeled and sliced boiled beets to have with leftover chicken curry and tomato chutney.  There were the last of the Asian pears and strawberries for dessert.  I also had some yogurt with coconut treacle (daughter doesn't like yogurt).  

I haven't made a formal meal plan for this week, but, there are leftovers (rice, salmon, chicken curry, a bit of sauteed green beans and sliced beets), and I am planning to make a chicken stew with leftovers for Wednesday's dinner as daughter is expecting one of her friends to come to dinner.  I have some bacon-wrapped hot dogs that I am planning to serve for dinner, one night (have to buy some hot dog buns) and there are frozen meatballs that can be had for dinner, another night.  

Brunches will include scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon (Tuesday), cereal and milk, egg salad sandwiches, French toast.

On Monday, I was grateful for:

- Time spent with my daughter
- A sunny day
- Water for the garden
- Emails from friends
- Working appliances

Monday's joyful activities included spending time with my daughter and reading blogs.

Plans for Tuesday include watching election results!
