Wednesday. Ended up turning the radio off well after ten last night to get what I'm guessing was an uneven night's sleep to awaken then at five minutes to six, right on the mark. Took the blood pressure again, it's been right on the mark now both morning and night for some time, before heading out the door to walk to breakfast, the streets wet from the rain last night, but not overly cold. Arrived to find the restaurant newly opened and so into the dining area to turn on the lights and settle in with the papers.

The French toast with sliced bananas and strawberries, fruit cup and coffee this time, finishing up early again by eight-thirty to set out for home, again the street still wet, but the sky clearing and the temperature not a problem. The usual flower picture, another of the line of Lyft scooters by the lake and then the selfie in the apartment house lobby's smudged mirror before settling it to finish off yesterday's entry and post. We've done enough of these mornings now to have all this down pat.

As in these last ten years of doing these? One might indeed think that would be time enough.

Later. More Senate Impeachment Trial on all the news stations I listen to. The story has been outlined enough times for someone who listens to this stuff as much as I do, the question is where all this is leading us, and speculation on that part is rampant. I say I've tuned out, but of course I haven't.

A walk to the 7-11 look-alike to pick up a pint of strawberry ice cream, a package of spicy Doritos chips and a can of bean dip, returning home and eating the ice cream and some of the chips and dip. Don't ask me why. I've done this in the past, the ice cream anyway, and occasionally both, but some kind of urge led me to do it. Turns out to have been a mistake.

Whatever it was started with an aching stomach and then gas, the relieving of the gas causing the aching to recede, but then something very much like an ocular migraine without the ocular effects kicked in and I went to bed and right to sleep for over an hour, feeling much better when I got up. No more bean dip in the future, anyway. Not ready to say that about the ice cream.

Evening. To bed early. Watched some things on the tablet before turning the lights out early. I need to get some lab work done tomorrow that requires not eating twelve hours before the blood is drawn and so I'll have to do it before having breakfast, a break in the routine. We'll get it done, but not looking forward to it.
