Sunday

 For Sunday, it wasn't a bad day at all. I got up late--presumably, because I had had such a hard time sleeping--so didn't have breakfast until 9:30.  I completed the crossword, which was a good one involving Beverly Sills and puzzles--charming. Stripped the bed and did a load of whites.

After late lunch, I walked to The Market and got a half dozen nice grapefruits, plus some cookies. Walked up Victoria to Telephone, where I passed this demonstration:

Ellen called in the evening and we had a good talk.  Aside from that, the best news is that I slept soundly through the night and just got up at my usual 6:30--boy, what a difference that makes!
