Feeling tired today! Can't seem to shift gears and get into a productive mode. I just wanted to sleep today--which I did some. But I also went out and about as well--despite feeling like I was stumbling about. Found a local bakery--was not too impressed by what was offered. Place looked like it was more specialized into making cakes.

There was a Japanese sushi bar in the same complex. I tried their rice bowl and found it to be delicious--also filling, tasty, not at all expensive. The rice bowls go for $5.50 (about $6 with tax). I had the sesame chicken with the spicy teriyaki sauce. The chicken and some vegetables were served as tempura on top of the rice. Very good!

I ate and ran some errands and then napped for a while. Went out later for a green tea latte and picked up the eye medications I'll be using during pre-op/post-op activities. There are four different medications (drops and ointments) that have to be applied in specific ways. I get tired just thinking about the process.

Experienced my grandkid causing a conflict with her mother over dinner. The grandkid started off on an even keel, but as dinner progressed she kept escalating things with her mother, causing a flareup. I couldn't help but feel that my presence helped trigger the outburst--just being there gave her the opportunity to act out--and she did so. I'll bring all this up with my daughter and see what we can do to moderate such events. By the time we sit down for dinner, she's already had quite a long day and is on the edge energywise.

Tomorrow is gentle yoga class--look forward to going. Winter is a coming in... Weather is cool and blustery!
