In which I am not virtuous at all

Phone call before 9 ayem woke me, and because my cordless phone was out of charge I had to limp down the hall to the study to answer it, but of course it went to voicemail before I could. So put cordless to charge and checked study phone to see if there was a voicemail, which no, so not likely to be one of the 'so and so has died' ones. (Get three or four of those in your life and it kind of scars you.) Only the cordless will tell me who was calling and wouldn't until there was sufficient charge.  Briefly debated going for my blood draw but if it wasn't actually raining, it certainly had been. So I went back to bed, telling myself I'd just meditate for a while, and of course back to sleep. And every time I woke up I just rolled to my other side and sank back down into oblivion. I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to get out into the cold grey achy day, so I stayed where I was until noon. Even contemplated staying in bed all day, which I don't think I've done since I got back from Japan.

However, once up I did weigh myself before breakfast and found that low carb has lost me two kilos in the last ten days, which is very satisfying. And it's not water weight either, because my ankles haven't shrunk any. Still a kilo over what I was in July, but I expect that will come.

It may have stopped raining during the day but I didn't trust it not to start again, so I stayed in. Vacuumed and did dishes and read Simenon in America, which depresses me for no good reason. And now it *is* raining again and will continue to do so all night and possibly into tomorrow, the long rains of September. They say it hasn't rained for at least a fortnight but I can't remember what that was like at all.
