51/45: Darker Days Drawing Near

I remember eating a sandwich at some point, either Saturday night or Sunday morning. I also remember waking in bed a few times, wondering when it was and remembering the only available clock, the phone, was in the other room charging, and going back to sleep not knowing when. I also remember not the fetching but the having had fetched the phone, and then seeing that it was not as late as I'd expected, or later than I'd expected. It's the ongoing fight with time.

The windows never got opened overnight. They got opened for a while Saturday afternoon, when the sunlight fell upon the bed and I napped for a while in the warmth. Today will be cooler, and only get up to 73. I might still open the windows then, and nap in the sunlight, if I remember, and it doesn't cloud up. There could be showers this afternoon. There might still be some sunny napping afternoons coming up in early November. But for October, it's pretty much over after today. The month running down, just like its year.

The dog in the next apartment is barking unhappily. I probably won't hear him from the bedroom. That's where I'm going.
