PROGRESS IS MADE

        

  What a great prediction when it came to my sleeping like a dead person Friday night….I did!!! Kuma and I went to bed before 8:00 pm and my Fitbit says I was asleep at 7:57 pm. I barely remember getting up to pee prior to waking up at 6:16 am. I might have slept longer, but Kuma wanted/needed to go out to do his pee.

          Friday’s lunch was terrific. I love a good, or GREAT, bacon cheeseburger so me and my friend went to Burgermaster on Aurora. It was, as always, excellent, although my friend and I discussed how burgers in general seem to be smaller than in the past, i.e., just as thick, but the diameter of the buns has decreased. For once, I didn’t order onion rings or fries because I thought that would be just too much food. I did miss those onion rings though.

          Once home, I began my effort to watch the movies that are up for an Academy Award. Frankenstein was the first one to pop up, so I watched that. It was an entirely different take on the old Frankenstein movies I’d watched before. I did enjoy it; and while I have no idea the name of the actor who played “Victor,” he was certainly very handsome regardless of his attire. Again, I have no idea of the name of the actress who played the love interest of the two brothers, but sheesh, the amount of clothing, with the exception of her nightdress, she had to wear. It must have weighed almost as much as she did. So glad we don’t have to dress like that now.

          Prior to Frankenstein, I did work on Madeleine until I reached either a stopping point or my imagination decided to wither. I’m going to try to write a bit more today (Saturday) and see where it goes. I certainly didn’t have time to fantasize last night because I went to sleep so quickly.

          I also completed the refabrication of my dust machine. Following that, I sanded the boat for a piece I hope to call, “Armada,” but I have to complete several “ships” prior to completion. I worked on one of the ships today (Saturday) and made some progress. Between Madeleine and my driftwood, I didn't have time for anything else.
