Felt like a lost day today for some reason. Got up this morning but went back to sleep for a while after breakfast. Went out for a midday meal and experienced rosacea (redness and flushing) about one hour afterward. Topical remedies seem to be helping smooth out and moisturize my skin, but still having reactions.

Watched a movie tonight--RKO 281--a film about Orson Welles and the making of Citizen Kane. It was somewhat glossy and never allowed any of the characters to develop a lot. It was done by the Scott's of TV fame and the film had a TV quality about it even though it was set back in time. The film was somewhat informative but never quite got off the ground.

Weather has cooled more. Tonight it's on the edge of being cold. Went shopping today and picked up a few things--boxer shorts, socks, razor cartridges, proxy brushes, and such. Mundane but needed items.

Thought about my mother today. I realized what a tough time she must have had in raising three Hispanic children in those times. The thought was triggered by a family I saw today where the children were obviously adopted and didn't match the adults' phenotypes. Hello Mom, wherever you may be.
