typical saturday (lyn)

Wake up.  Have tea.  Check mail.  Discuss possible trips to colleges during spring break in a few weeks.  Talk on phone.  Have a nova, whipped cream cheese and Arnolds thin sandwich for lunch with iced tea.  Read.  Spend more time on computer.  Then more time on phone.  Too much time on phone.  Look at costs for various combinations of college trips.  So expensive.  Lack of money reminds me again that I can’t do what I want to do.  Also reminds me that I need to do something, and soon.  Have a tomato-cucumber-lettuce salad for an early dinner.  Had planned on adding half an avocado but decide to forego the 4.5 points.  Meet a couple of friends to see Shutter Island.  Eat my pre-planned fat-free popcorn and 1.7 ounce Nestlé Raisinets mix.  We all dislike the movie.  Too ambiguous.  Too dark.  Come home.  Talk to Alexander about his day spent interviewing his paternal Italian grandfather for an oral history project conducted by StoryCorps (each conversation is recorded, and then preserved at the Library of Congress).  Have a small cup of Ciao Bella blood orange sorbet.  Interrupt Alexander who is doing another practice SAT test.  Talk a few minutes more. Work on the NY Times Crossword Puzzle from a few days ago.  Watch some Olympics.  Day done.  Evening too. Good night.
