Mornings

Thursday. Awoke at six-fourteen, one minute before the alarm was due to sound. Up to turn it off. OK, a little foggy as we always are first thing after getting up, but out the door on an overcast morning, the weather people having warned it would get up to eighty later, but the temperature just fine walking in a t-shirt and light jacket to arrive at five minutes to seven, the restaurant open and ready for business. Well, open.

The Eggs Benedict, country potatoes, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, the weight less than a pound over target on the scale this morning, but thoughts to get it under by a pound or so for a decent period. Finished up at eight thirty-five again, the day still overcast, not many people on the sidewalk heading home, but the usual picture of a flower below the Lakeview school and of a lone Lyft scooter by the lake. Home to take the selfie and settle in here, the computer again taking its time before all the software was loaded and I could start on the pictures.

Made an appointment for this afternoon at the barber shop when I passed the shop walking home from breakfast, so we'll get out at least once again before the day is done.

Later. A walk in hot and muggy weather to the barber shop at a quarter to two, taking two pictures of the construction project from above on the way, arriving at the barber shop by two. I wore the light jacket over a t-shirt, mostly to hide the small camera, but I'd have left it if I'd known how warm it was going to be. Two pictures of the construction again on the way home, showing recent work on new or replacement piping under the sidewalk. Have no idea what it's about.

Evening. More television and tablet, nothing on television again and so to bed after eight, lights out before nine-thirty, my lights out before ten. I think.

You think?

I'm burned out for writing by the early afternoon and so add the evening section as often as not the next morning. Don't always remember exactly what happened after turning the lights out the night before after breakfast in the mornings.

The photo up top was taken at the 2017 Oakland Chinatown Street Fest with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
