First day back at work in In the Kingdom of Suzu

First day back after 8 weeks off was not too bad, I still remembered what to do! In one sense a lot happened while I was gone, mainly there were several deaths of co-workers family members—older parents but some not so old and unexpected—YIKES! And then there were some things that never change, mainly one court girl who really is not cut out for the job and should have been let go long ago. She is a nice enough girl but is a real airhead. She had been taken out of court almost a year ago because every judge complained about her. She was supposed to do office work but she even messed that up. She has been put back in court, I guess it is sink or swim time. I don’t know how the judges are going to react to her.

Went swimming at the Y right after work and this time I did not run into any naked ladies—various stages of undress but no nudity–thank goodness as I really do not need to see that! My plan is to go swimming 3 times a week. Jeff even said he might go with me, which was quite a surprise as whenever I suggest to him he join me at the gym, he always says no, but he was not adverse to swimming so we shall see.

It is very cold out and predicted to get even colder and possibly some snow. I think I need to make more soup! This time it will be corn crab chowder. I had made a lentil soup last week which at first I wasn’t real pleased with but by the end of the week, it had gotten really good. I also made a ham and bean soup,which was excellent! We each had two bowls over two days and then I gave the rest to my son as we did not need to have that much ham. My son really liked it too.

Stay warm!
