So much for that plan

Well, as it happened, I was up until 0300, so I didn't actually get up until 1100. The downside of the melatonin is that once I've taken them, I am out for eight hours. Period. I was packed and rolling by 1300, though; topped off the Kia at Shell for $3.60 after discounts, grabbed a croissant & coffee at Beans & Brews, and I was off. Stopped at Family Dollar in Beatty for razors, nuts, and a Diet Coke; stopped in Amargosa Valley for trash; and stopped at Indian Springs to pee and grab a chicken salad croissant. They had the Liquid Death ice tea, so I grabbed a can of that. I think the frequent stops helped, paradoxically; I certainly didn't feel wiped out at the end of the drive as I usually do. 

Got to Northstar Barber Shop right on time for my shave and trim, and the barber did a great job. I tipped him $10 for a $40 job, that's how good he was. Checked in at the Cannery, got a room right inside the east door, and banged out the daily bloggage. Got dinner in the cafe (fish & chips, and very good) and took care of some tax stuff after I downloaded Remote Desktop, which I thought was living on Homeko already.

Going to sleep in a little since my appointments aren't until 1300, I think.
