Ten

Tuesday. To sleep whenever. After eleven, but not that long after. I don't think. Awakened at five-thirty. Not unusual, but probably not enough sleep, although I was reasonably clear headed and not thinking I was particularly tired.

Up to take the blood pressure (looked good) and then back to bed, up again after listening to Democracy Now! to drive to breakfast, last night's rain having stopped, but the clouds looking chancy. Well, truth is I'd decided to drive yesterday, rain or not. Arrived a little earlier than usual to park, enter the indoor dining area, turn on the lights and settle in with the papers.

The two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee again, finishing up just after nine to walk back to the car, drive home, take the selfie in the lobby, take the blood pressure (still good) and the blood pressure med, turn on the heat and settle in at the computer to start all of this. A cookie cutter morning, in other words.

Later. Over an hour's nap after the news before watching the first episode of a Netflix series on the tablet before I realized I'd watched the entire series sometime back. Another sign of the times, but something to be worried about? I have no idea. Maybe lay off the tablet for a while. An hour. Or so.

The blood pressure really good until I measured it at five and it was way up there and so a third blood pressure med for the day.

Evening. Nothing on television I wanted to watch and so to bed by eight. The blood pressure holding and so we've managed to keep it to three doses of the blood pressure med today instead of four. Not hopeful it will hold tomorrow. Lights out around nine-thirty, let's hope my lights will follow soon after ten.

The photo up top was taken in May 2015 at the San Francisco Carnaval Parade with a Nikon D4s mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
