I can't think of a #4 right now.

I had a productive 24 hours, though. I did work out last night, read through a page or two of Heirs, got to bed at 1 AM instead of 2 AM, and unfortunately lay awake for a bit.  I'll have to train my body to sleep earlier.  I got a lot done at work today due to my new approach to data entry on this particular task. I took care of an important errand at lunch, and did the Dine for America thing with John tonight.  We even connected with an old friend for a face-to-face chat in the aisles at Target.

If I post this right now, I can still manage something between 1b and 1c, and still get more sleep than usual.  So there!

Photos added.  I tried to let the screensaver choose these, and half-succeeded. The birthday balloon I'm posting deliberately, though, in honor of my mom, born 10/6/27. Happy birthday, Mom! I'll try to get out to the cemetery tomorrow.
