It is 7:45 p.m. as I write this.

I started my work day about 7:45 a.m. There is a meeting which requires a prototype and I’m on deadline today and tomorrow.

But, midmorning, I needed to reboot my computer. I didn’t notice the little “Update” icon. I have my computer set to accept Operating System and mission critical work software (all Microsoft) updates automatically. Typically these happen at night as I don’t usually reboot during the day.

After taking Bear out for a short break during the reboot, I returned to see this:

I knew it was going to be awhile.

So, I cleaned the refrigerator.

And I made peanut butter.

Before cleaning the blender, I made a green smoothie so that all the peanut butter residue went in the smoothie: peanut butter, pineapple, kale, flax seeds and flax seed oil, vanilla protein powder and a Meyer lemon!

Sound unappetizing ???

Well, it was good and I called it lunch.

The update…it was still going.

I checked on Bob who was enjoying the sauna-like air from the dryer vent.

Bear snoozed in the sunroom.

The update finally finished.

An unexpected delay in the middle of a day with a deadline, but the sun was shining and the day went smoothly from there, even if it went long.

And I have a clean refrigerator.

And fresh peanut butter!
