So, with that, back from breakfast at the usual place, the Wednesday morning business breakfast group in attendance, but enough of them so their individual conversations blended together in a white noise cacophony (you can concentrate on your reading in a cacophony, even if spelling it is less than certain), back now to sort out the day. What to do, what to do, other than make a cat food run later lest Ms. Emmy feel the need to remind me?

Later. An even more difficult time convincing myself to get out the door this afternoon than I had yesterday, finally heading downtown to hit an ATM and then immediately taking a bus back all the way to my morning restaurant for a lunch/dinner at a table on their patio in the shade. Just a touch too cool in the shade, maybe, but a decent lunch and walk back for all that. I'll write it off to a funky day, the upper gums and teeth acting up, taking a strong lead in their seesaw race with the sinuses. They vary, they do, these aching gums. Naps help. Sleep helps a lot as they don't seem to kick back in for an hour or so after I wake up. This might mean something to someone clever, but it means little or nothing to me (or my various physicians). Such is life. Knock on wood: it could easily be worse.

OK, I'm done. After returning from lunch and writing the above I took what I realized was a much needed nap. Maybe I'm getting less sleep than I think, alarm or not. Should I be alarmed or not? No. Better to work on “well rested”.
