Good morning everyone. I actually got up at daybreak today and started my day. I couldn't go back to sleep so gave in and put the coffee on.
I fixed a typical southern breakfast of grits, eggs and bacon and it has now been wiped out. I'll have to get in the kitchen and get it all cleaned up since we will have a big lunch. A big lunch is due because hubby is working tonight and if he goes in full he will grab something light around 9 pm before everything closes in the little small town.
I'm excited (and he is too) with this being his last night to work! A new Marshall (police chief) will be taking over so he is turning in his badge. HIs friend lost the election by only 19 votes! The sad part is that this man was caught years ago with an underage young lady doing inappropriate things. Time must erase memories. Sad to have this guy responsible for safety in the town, but it is what it is!
What's on your agenda for today?

I woke up at 1am to use the bathroom, couldn't fall back asleep, and lay in bed until 4am. Then I decided to just get up and start my day. A big pot of coffee certainly helped, but I still needed a nap at about noon. Now I'm back up and trying to function, although my sleep cycle is way off. My breakfast (made at lunch time) happened to be a homemade banana blueberry smoothie.

@moffittjc We switched to 50/50 here and I don't feel like I get my "boost." Going to stick with it though because we both needed to cut some of the caffeine. Cut the soft drinks all the way out except for "special occasions" like eating out. Since that isn't happening right now, we are on a roll.

He is retired from his regular job. This was a part time deal helping out when the regular staff is out. It was only 4-6 nights a month so not too bad. And yes, now he is home all the time! Gotta get all those projects lined up for him now! Haha! He is on his way home now @ 12:30

I am off to the bakery to buy fresh bread for the weekend and then wash the floor, give a harmonica lesson on-line. Then go shopping for food for the weekend. We are officially on lockdown so supermarkets, pharmacies and bakeries are the only businesses open.

@kareng Yeah they went ok, and by the end of the cooking two of my sons helped. The food was very tasty.

@kareng Then its very sad that he got the job. I was hoping he was younger or a lot younger when it happened.

People definitely have selective memories when it comes to public service. BTW: that Southern breakfast sounds terrific!

@dgobucks226 Agree! Okay, have to ask this one. Do you like shrimp and grits? I don't find them appealing at all, but they have become a rave in the last couple of years.
