I've now set the alarm for 5:30 and woke up at 5:00, thanks to my loathing for the station on which I set the clock radio. I was fully dressed and groomed and could have walked out the door at 5:45 if I had wanted to.

The bike run to the PathMark yesterday was wonderful! I felt like school had let out for the weekend. Once I make the turn on to Grays Ferry Avenue I'm virtually assured 1/2 mile of uninterrupted road, all on the level, whee! Also, there were bargains. For $100 I got enough groceries that I had to tell Roy to hop on his bike and come meet me -- I had exceeded my six bag limit and the stuff was too heavy for the handlebar treatment in any case. In fact, once I'd gotten home my arm muscles were all limp from controlling the steering!

Amazon says my Nikon shipped and should be here tomorrow, along with the aftermarket book and the battery recharger. The SD card will take a little longer. I have no obligations outside the house, so I can wait at home for UPS all day, whee!

There are lots of suggestive bumps on the Nopalxochia. I am guessing that when the bumps start to turn green it's a sign that they will become something. If I'm right, this year's bloom will be comfortably in the double digits. Whee!

It's Roy's birthday today and for his special birthday dinner he asked for....meat loaf! So the PathMark run included the acquisition of ground beef, ground veal, ground pork and ground lamb. Also brussels sprouts. Whee again!

EDIT: I bought three packs of Burpee seeds at the PathMark yesterday: marjoram, parsley, and moonflower vine. I started the marjoram this morning -- those seeds are awfully tiny! Tonight I'll put the parsley in to soak, and tomorrow I'll start them.

I have my photo files backed up to an external hard drive, but I am not comfortable with that, so today I burned 12 CDs with my 2008 files. Tomorrow I will burn my 2009 files -- I'm now out of CDs.

Room must be made for all these huge new Nikon files on my hard drive, hence the drive to back everything up. It was okay to have them on the computer's hard drive plus the external, but if I wipe them from the computer, I want a backup.
