Formula For Recovery

Sleeping in my own bed and going to bed early (but not too early) last night seems to have helped me get a little closer to where I want to be. Aside from waking up around Midnight thinking "time to get up" after six hours of sleep and then going back to sleep when I realized the actual time, I had a very restful night's sleep, waking up on my own at 6 AM (which is fine, as that's what I want to do during the work week). I got up and after getting cleaned up, walked down to the Wigwam for a good breakfast, then used my free-play coupons and got lucky, turning $0 into $25 (less the $14 cost of the breakfast). When I got back home, the Formula 1 race in Brazil was just starting, and I got to watch a very wet, sloppy race that they somehow actually managed to complete despite two red flags, multiple safety cars, and sundry other messes on the track. In fact, the final lap was going to be the final lap no matter what, because they'd hit the time limit anyway. But anyway, I did get to see it.

Around Noon, Lisa and I went into Reno/Sparks and did our large-scale grocery shopping, of which there was a lot because I'd been away for two weeks. Neither of us was that hungry, so for a change we didn't have lunch or dinner in town, but instead just came home. Really a very domesticated weekend, but I need to rest up because I've got another trip in a few weeks. I used to do lots of different conventions, including one six week stretch where I did five different conventions (some were only one day comic shows), but that was 25 years ago. I'm not up to that anymore.
