Monday. Another to sleep fairly soon night, awakening once not long after midnight to take a leak and then back to bed to awaken for good at five-thirty after what I'm finding seems to be a decent night's rest. Most of the time, anyway: ten to five-thirty. Listened to Democracy Now! and its interview with Spencer Ackerman on the stupidities we committed in our twenty years of screwing over Afghanistan, just the thing to start your day before getting up and driving to the Lakeshore ATM and then to breakfast.

Parked in front of the restaurant again as the meters aren't being enforced on Labor Day. Entered the indoor dining area and settled in at my table, hoping not a whole lot of people would arrive to keep me company as I ate and read the papers. Only one person did.

The avocado and mushroom omelet, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee, finishing up just after nine to walk back to the car and drive straight home, take the selfie, visit the bathroom and settle in at the computer. Another day of finish yesterday's entry, post the thing, process the mornings few photographs and start here, finishing by ten-thirty.

Later. A high of eighty-one degrees in my neighborhood according to the Weather Underground web site and I'm not going to stick my head out the door to see if they're right. An afternoon spent watching some baseball on the tablet, half listening to the news programs at the usual times and putting off writing here until the following morning, not quite remembering by then whatever else was on the afternoon list.

Evening. Finished a movie on the tablet and started a couple starring Harrison Ford that I realized/believed I'd seen before, but didn't really remember. For someone thinking I'd become really burned out watching stuff on the tablet, I seem to have spent a lot of time today doing just that. To bed early, lights out about ten.
