Monday morning, May Day

May 1, 2017

1) I guess what I had was "subsistence sleep," just enough heavy sleep to keep going (four hours), but far from enough to feel rested, much less energetic.

2) Dining room breakfast, with the Biblical flashes from the pyramid salt lamp I gave Daddy a couple Christmases ago. (One of the nursing home staff dropped it, hence the sharp, punctuated transitions from one color to another.)

3) Suggested Band Names: the Sveltines (alternately: Svelteens), Fever Comma Hay, I'll Get You For This, The Don't Know.
