I still can't believe this.

TCB · « **Reply #92 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:28:04 PM »

No one else is around.

I had a terrible time falling asleep last night.

TCB · « **Reply #94 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:29:23 PM »

I turned off the lights at about 11:30.

TCB · « **Reply #95 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:29:49 PM »

Still I couldn't fall asleep.

TCB · « **Reply #96 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:30:21 PM »

I avoided looking at the clock.

TCB · « **Reply #97 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:30:57 PM »

I didn't want to know what time it was.

TCB · « **Reply #98 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:32:01 PM »

I even got up and used the bathroom, and still managed to ignore all of the clocks.

Judging how long I laid there, it was probably after 1:00 a.m. before I finally fell asleep.

TCB · « **Reply #100 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:34:33 PM »

Still, I woke up just before seven.

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:35:23 PM »

Which was the exact time I wanted to get up.

TCB · « **Reply #102 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:36:12 PM »

I checked all of my emails.

TCB · « **Reply #103 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:36:51 PM »

That didn't take long, they were mostly ads.

TCB · « **Reply #104 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:37:59 PM »

I resisted the urge to work on the book because I knew I needed to leave the house by nine.

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:39:08 PM »

Then I took a shower.

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:39:45 PM »

I left the house exactly at nine.

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:40:31 PM »

I expected to run into heavy traffic going to Olympia.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:41:05 PM »

But it was smooth sailing the entire way.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:42:29 PM »

I got to Budd Bay Cafe about twenty-five minutes early.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:43:35 PM »

I went in and got us a table.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:44:21 PM »

I didn't need to rush, the place was pretty empty.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:45:55 PM »

They serve breakfast until 10:30, but it is a week day so there was no late rush for breakfast.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:46:45 PM »

I ordered bacon and eggs.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:47:29 PM »

I asked for the bacon to be crisp.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:49:12 PM »

Apparently the cook also works at a crematorium on his days off.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:50:07 PM »

My friend, Diane, ordered the seafood omelet.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:50:51 PM »

I should have ordered that, too.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** September 15, 2017, 10:51:27 PM »

It was stuffed with crab and shrimp.
