By Ten

Thursday To sleep soon enough to awaken then at five-thirty, earlier than I'd have liked, but at least the blood pressure was good and so out the door at the usual time just after seven-thirty to walk to breakfast under clear (and cold) skies, the sun coming up as I headed down my street. Arrived to enter the dining area and settle in with the papers. So far, so good.

The oatmeal, fruit cup and coffee, as the weight is needing attention, finishing up not long after nine to then set out for home under a bright sun, taking more pictures of the sidewalk on the route home this time just because. I do miss using the big (and more accurate) DSLR's that sit at home during these breakfast outings.

Took the selfie in the lobby and settled in to process the pictures, finish then post yesterday's anemic entry and begin with this. Be curious to see if I put off finishing this until the morning. Feel pretty good, but then I felt pretty good yesterday as well.

Later. The tablet I ordered was waiting for me when I arrived home from breakfast and so I started setting it up and ran into a brick wall when I needed to find the WiFi password to connect it to the internet. OK, it's been a while, where do I have it written down? How do I log into the WiFi router? I've done this routinely in the past. Another memory glitch. I'll track it down, but I have not a clue at the moment where I have this stuff.

OK, just wrote that, decided to look at my list of passwords one more time and found it hiding in plain sight. Still don't remember how to access the device itself for firmware updates, but the new tablet is now downloading its operating system and we'll soon know if buying an Amazon Fire tablet at less than half the price of an Apple iPad was a good decision.

Or not.

Evening. Continued watching Waking The Dead, a Britbox series, not as good as some, but holding my attention. Checked out Vera on television at eight, remembered I'd seen it before and so bailed for bed again, lights out by ten.
