Unexpected Pleasure -- as usual

One of my most favorite things in the world is to sit at my kitchen table very early in the morning; drinking my coffee; and gaze out my second floor window watching the day dawn. As the sky lightens overhead, the waters of the gulf keep their darker hue of blue and the waves roll onto the sand beach. We don't get much in the way of waves around here, only a couple of feet at best, unless it's storming. Then add into this scene the birds and palm trees and beach cottages, yada, yada, yada.

I checked my blood pressure just for giggles today. 116/76 and a pulse of 62. I'd say I'm pretty chill. And that's with NO MEDS!

It is unexpectedly clear and beautiful today, if a bit breezy. This storm over between Mexico and Cuba seems to be going, as expected, toward southern Texas. That's good for just about everybody. And we get a spectacular day -- low 90s, blue skies and strong breeze out of the south. Sounds like a beach day to me. Unexpected pleasures.

So, the plan stays the same. Hang here until Tuesday or Wednesday and find a load to move me back into the Midwest -- and reality. But for now, it's vacation time.
