I made it here at 9:00 am. Traffic wasn’t even all that bad. Well, I take that back. Traffic is so bad in this area that it’s the same no matter what time of day you are out driving….and, at night, the wildlife takes over the roads. So it takes the same amount of time to get from place to place no matter what time you go.

My class is going to start in 15 minutes, but, since I don’t know anything yet, there’s nothing for me to do until then. Though I was reading one of the manuals earlier. I had some clues about what I was reading. I’m hoping things become more clear to me.

The animals had no idea what was going on this morning. “Good morning Winston!” I said to the dog, shortly after the alarm clock went off. He looked at me, yawned, and rolled over on his back for a belly rub. K-bird looked at us blearily, stepped out of her night time cage then ruffled her feathers and stretched her wings while yawning and looking around the dining room from her preferred chair back. Since parrots need about 10 hours of sleep for their best health, I’m much more worried about Kendi adapting to the new schedule than I am worried about the dog. Or the new cat, for that matter. She’s up all night all the time.

Anyway, I’m here, I’ve got all my clothing on in the appropriate places. I’ve had a cup of tea, a couple of piece of toast and a Pepsi. So, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.
