Beginning of a cold weekend

 It's supposed to be cold and maybe a bit rainy tomorrow (Saturday). 

I got back in and rounded up a handful of things to list, dug things out to pack and ship, and just felt very tired so eventually I went to bed, and read (in bed) the rest of "Going Solo" by Roald Dahl. It's an amazing book and apparently he was an amazing pilot. He got 5 confirmed, making him an ace, but plenty more that were not confirmed but shot down all the same. I'm convinced it was English public school that made him an ace. He was best in school at that game he did, and the sense of duty and not letting your mates down along with the athletic skill to excel at that game made the whole package. He could have rested on his laurels for the rest of his life. 

I woke up around 3 or 4, as I'd told myself I can sleep all I want.  I packed 6-7 things and left at 6 to take them to the post office and FedEx. What's funny is, I was only waiting at a light at the final intersection before getting to the post office when I noticed I'd forgotten to use any bungee cords to fasten the packages down. But they'd all been fine. 

So I continued, mailed them, then went to my chin-up place that's in that area and did some. An older Asian guy on a bike rode up and did some exercises where he just hung, which is good for the body too. I picked up some boxes from the loading dock in between sets, then got out of there. 

I stopped at H Mart and bought some veggies and dropped two packages off at FedEx, then rode over to behind the computer repair place and picked up a lot of small packing things and odds and ends. 

Just a usual Friday I guess.  I rode back here, picking up a bunch of those big cookies that are one to a package and a couple of cans of Dr. Pepper at the vending machine place, and put those out when I got back here for whoever wants 'em. Along with one of those big boxes of "Sky Flakes" that I'd eaten some of, and that are most certainly not on my diet. 

Tomorrow's to be a rain day so I guess I'll stay in.

Good sleep helps

 Last night I got 10 things ready to photograph, and will do another 10, if small, things today so I'll list 20. It's not like I hav...
