November 3rd: Waited dreaming. Eggs for breakfast, bit of a lie in. Am considering buying a bicycle.
November 17th: Waited dreaming. Nothing good on eBay w/r/t bicycles. Better to wait until after Xmas?
November 25th: Waited dreaming. Eggs again. Thought about calling Mom today. Didn’t. Have decided against the bicycle, at least for now.
November 30th: Waited dreaming. Holiday decorations going up this weekend—mustn’t forget where I stored the lights.
December 4th: Waited dreaming. Nice sandwich for lunch; tuna salad.
December 11th: Awoke. Plunged the very sky to the depths of the seas, caused a great perturbation and boiling of the oceans, spread wrath and destruction across the lands. Wrecked destruction upon all living beings, brought unto them their final hours of pain and suffering before the great and eternal torment. Darkened the sun. Went for a nice walk—keep forgetting to call Mom.
December 16th: Eggs again. Need a better recipe, as scrambled all the time is beginning to get a bit dull.
