Sun Sep 4 06:00:01 EDT 2022 ======================================== Slept from ten-thirty to four, then very fitfully until seven. Finally woke from a nightmare. Cooler. Cloudy with a chance of showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 70s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent. Texted birthday wishes to Kate. Watched several episodes of Doom Patrol. Great. In kind of a funk all day. Finished reading Blackout. OK, but it doesn't have an ending of any kind. The story just stops at a random point to continue in the "next" book. Also, it really needs an editor to trim countless sections of characters wandering around. Character X took the bus, then the train, then walked for a while, and didn't find what she wanted, and took another train, etc. Cutting half the text would improve the book. Nevertheless, I checked out the "sequel", All Clear, from the library. The two books together may yet amount to a good novella. Servings: grains 3/6, fruit 0/4, vegetables 3/4, dairy 4/2, meat 2/3, nuts 0/0.5 Brunch: carrots, ice cream, corn chips and cheese Afternoon snack: two hamburgers, potato, tomatoes
