   I took a quick walk to the plaza just down the hill from my rooms before I sat down to start this posting..had already checked the weather & just a look at the sky confirms the chance of a rain/T-storms..there are a few very ominous black clouds in the vicinity..had checked the pantry..within the next few day's needed to stop at both Dollar General & Aldi (w/a possible side trip to Big Lots) & because the weather was iffy today & looks okay for tomorrow decided to the the shorter & quicker trip today to Dollar General..just a 6-pack of bottles of orange soda..a box of crackers & a package of gel pens..a brand I hadn't tried before..Sharpie & was quite pleased with them..after some experimentation & testing..of the current "crop" of pens I've decided in the future to only get "gel" pens..not as good of a nights sleep as the last few nights but not bad..was up & online playing a session on "Replay Poker" by 04:20..[just shakes his old grey head] & then into my days play of sims&solitaire..a pretty good day & was all done & one draft publish & tomorrow started by just before 13:00..had a quick mid-day meal..I'd bought a package of pre-cooked& bread-ed shrimp at Price Chopper..warmed them in the microwave w/some of my "room-made" cocktail sauce & took the aforemention-ed walk to the plaza..on the way back took the short detour to the pond to see if the Great Blue Heron was there..'twasn't..no geese sighted either..still a few things to do to complete the day..ergo..I'm off..../....*[16:43 UTC-4]*..the weather had improved ..bright sun..but still on the cool side so spent sometime sitting "'heath the shade of ye old oak tree"..back to my rooms..showered & took my meds..nothing on the TV so will hang out online for awhile..still a meal to prepare &u consume before I take my rest.. ergo.."nite all"....[16:50 UTC-4]..../....
