The day continued to be enjoyable, even though the torrential rains that marked our late morning revealed the need for gutter clearing, something I had thought managed last year with the installation of leaf-blocking inserts. Oh well, it can be approached as an annoyance or an opportunity. I will need to attend to it before Thursday when more rain is expected; Jennifer had the day off and returned to her love of cooking, as she tends to do in the fall months. She made a delicious repeat of the caprice with chicken salad and whipped up a chicken curry dish. We ran to Savers and GOBM for other needs heading into the week. The rain caused Scottie to opt to pee in the garage again. I am NOT happy about that at all. I may have to put the fencing back in place. I spent the evening reading "On the Shortness of Life" by Seneca. It's an inspiring work that ruthlessly amplifies my failure to do more with my life and my time than I do or have done. I need to keep motivated.
