Thursday. Lights out by nine-thirty, up once to take a leak, then back to sleep to awaken at six-fifteen, just right for getting ready to head out the door and drive to breakfast. Clouds, of course, but no rain after wind and rain last night, some light sprinkles while driving.

Ordered the French toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast to finish up by eight-thirty, still not raining other than those intermittent light sprinkles driving home. Another selfie in the lobby mirror just because.

Surprised myself to see how much I'd written yesterday and so some light editing before posting. More rain on the way today and tomorrow, but they're saying a decent chance of dodging more of it this coming weekend. We'll see. We still need the water, but it would be nice to have it clear for the Chinese New Year Parade weekend.

Later. Periods of heavy rain, but the sun it out now at noon, albeit crowded on all sides by nasty looking clouds. We're not going outside, although I suspect there's a picture or two available over by the lake.

Not going outside then evolved into well, maybe, when it seemed it wasn't going to rain for a while and so got all suited up just in case and set out for the bus stop and the Broadway ATM to find it had started raining fairly hard in the time it took to descend the stairs. OK, back to the apartment. Antsy today.

Long story short, the weather looked good again later and so took the bus to Broadway, went by the ATM and caught a bus back to the 7-11 look-alike picking up an ice cream sandwich on the way home. Started sprinkling again just as I was approaching the apartment.

Evening. Another evening much like all evenings. Watched this and that on the tablet, tried watching another episode of Vera I realized I'd seen before, but gave up after maybe ten or fifteen minutes and headed for bed. Lights out before ten.
