Stop

Thursday Lights out early again to awaken before five with a sore chest, drop back on and off to sleep to awaken then for good at six to listen to Democracy Now! before getting up at the usual time to walk to breakfast (getting just outside the apartment house to realize I'd forgotten the newspapers and had to return to get them). Arrived at the usual time to enter the dining area, turn on the lights and settle in with the papers.

The plain waffle with sliced bananas and strawberries, fruit cup and coffee (we're still watching the weight), finishing up after nine to set out for home without noticing that the gas prices had gone up four cents (when we checked the pictures when we got home on the computer). We'll fix that after breakfast tomorrow.

Skipped a couple of photographs I normally take because of the bright light/shade situation on the flowers, took the usual shots plus one of a flower below the Lakeview school (haven't found any flowering plants there now in months), kept it to one sidewalk picture, took the selfie in the lobby and settled in at the computer. Still a little fried and so put off writing to this point until well into the afternoon.

Later. Folded up the socks from yesterday's laundry and so I can say I at least got one thing done this afternoon. Tired and fuzzy headed for whatever reason and so spent most of the day, except for the three o'clock PBS News, watching a Britbox series on the tablet.

Evening. Started watching Vera at eight knowing I'd seen the thing before, but for whatever reason stayed with it until it ended at nine-thirty. Remembered the ending when it finished, but remembered it as an ending to an entirely different episode proving my memory of such things is still scrambled. Still can't recall if this was the case when I was younger.

You're wandering here.

Best to stop?

Best to stop.

The photo up top was taken at the 2017 San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
