...trying to occupy some time until the bagel shop opens. Went to bed earlier than usual by a few hours. Woke up at 0230 not too refreshed but unable to go bac to sleep. I've been watching TV and sitting here at the desk on the laptop. The bagel shop opens at 0500. With my luck, I will fall asleep before then and miss out on fresh ones.
Edited to add: Stayed awake and made it to the bagel shop at 0505, 5 minutes after they opened. Hit the bank just before that or would have been there right at 5. A strong cup of French Sumatran Mandheling coffee, a banana, a buttered bagel (actually 2 - a cinnamon raisin fbagel ollowed a little later by an everything bagel) a banana, and an almost hardboiled egg for breakfast was delicious. It was probably close to the largest, if not the largest, breakfast I have had all year. Been taking a medication for the last week that increases the appetite and probably the waistline!
I've got three pounds of bacon in reserve for tomorrow and Christmas day. I am thinking maybe one of the leftover bagels toasted with some loosely scrambled eggs with coffee and OJ tomorrow and for Christmas a bacon sandwich on an English muffin for breakfast. Life is good - sometimes.
Merry Christmas.
All the best,
GB
