     Early morning, the blue jay is working the bottle bush tree.  In the distance the cooing of two mourning doves. Foggy gray sky, a chill in the air. I used to be ready to get up early in the morning to start my day but now I want to just stay under the covers and sleep a bit more. 10 hours of bedtime is not enough I tell myself.  Get up.

     I finally finish season two of YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. I watch the last couple of episodes in one day. I love, hate, this show and I am glad it is over. My prejudices of wealthy people is encouraged. However, I am fond of the characters and in the end wished them well. I may be wasting my days by watching these kinds of shows.

     I have been feeling lazy or maybe weak the last couple of weeks. I am researching what to take to increase my energy. My blood test says I am fine. The doctor recommends vitamin D. Facebook has lots of recommendations for me. Maybe I am just feeling my age.

     I am now reading a fast moving novel by John Sandford, REVENGE PREY.  He has published dozens of similar books, full of action and clever brave people. A tonic to my present state and the bedlam of our country today. The Sunday Times book review is full of appealing books. Today I am sticking with John Sandford.
