Tuesday. To sleep relatively early to awaken then at four-thirty to struggle a bit getting back to sleep. Awoke finally at six-thirty on this Christmas morning, no need to scramble to shave and get ready to set out for breakfast. Rudderless, in other words, interesting to experience.

Totally tired through the rest of the morning and into the afternoon, but finally decided to walk to the 7-11 look-alike for a pint of strawberry ice cream, feeling physically as well as mentally tired when I returned. Remembered then I'd drunk those two servings of sake last night and gotten a little buzzed, so we'll not ask why we've been so zonked out today and blame it on the alcohol. Might be true, felt much better after that ice cream.

Evening. OK, continued to feel better through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening, getting into the bed after eight. Too early, particularly as there was no interest in continuing watching anything on the tablet. Lights out after nine, to sleep by who knows when?
