Again

Sunday. Awoke at six on the dot this morning after getting to sleep before ten. Seemed a decent night's sleep and so up to take (what else?) the blood pressure first thing - 122/80 - and head to the car to drive to breakfast under clear skies, arriving at ten minutes to seven, the restaurant dark, but the dining area door open and so in to turn on the lights and settle in with the papers. Made it a point to remember the glasses.

The two strips of bacon, eggs over medium, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for no particular reason again, finishing up by nine to head out under the sun and drive straight home, nothing really needed at the supermarket, not that that would have made a difference. When's the last time I went by the supermarket?

The selfie in the lobby, up to take the blood pressure when I entered the apartment - 98/65 - wondering if the meter was working properly, taking another reading - 107/66 - just now as I was writing this. We need to check to be sure, perhaps tomorrow at Walgreens when getting the flu shot (if I get it together to go and they've gotten it together to give the shot).

Today's highs in the eighties again. We'll see what that means for getting outside.

Later. Out the door finally to walk over to the lake, the temperature today in the very low eighties, but comfortable enough in the sun. A couple of photographs, not much going on, but people about and the Soul Beats group of drummers was forming up in their usual place in front of the white column pergola. Back to the apartment not all that long after to sit in front of the fan.

Evening. Skipped any television and went to bed around eight again, the fan at the foot of the bed, lights out by nine, radio off by nine-thirty. Again.

The photo up top was taken at the 2016 Oakland Chinatown StreetFest with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
