Morning Habits and Greetings

 After morning computer time, which among other things may include uploading a photo to Flickr and very often either writing or editing a blog post, I eventually get around to a little bit of braining. I start with Sudoku, first a hard level game and then a medium difficulty one. You would think that I would begin with the medium to warm my brain up, but I am not prone to doing things in the usual and sensible way. I do make the medium one harder by not permitting myself to use notations. I leave every cell blank until the final number goes in. 

It may take me up to 20 minutes, and sometimes, more, to complete a hard game and fewer than 10 minutes to finish a medium-level game. My average time is 18:12 for hard and 9:45 for medium. I don't play either Easy or Expert levels. Expert just takes way too much time.

Golly gee wiz, I got sidetracked again. I mainly want to tell you that after computer time and Sudoku, only then do I turn to Wordle. I leave it until the end because I know that I will want to communicate my results to the family, and I allow them to at least wake up, with Sue excepted sometimes.

Recently, my little posts have been turning into morning greetings, perhaps with a bit of news. This ↓ was from yesterday.

No one really responds. Well, I understand that Sha is very busy at work. The kids are at or on their way to school, and they really don't care about a farting, old grampa's doings anyway although Danica needed some clarification on the McDs yesterday. I was speaking of our friends, the McDonalds whom we meet at McDonalds', but Danica was wondering if I meant the cousins, whose name also begins with a McD.

Sue doesn't respond because she is lost in her own headspace, usually trying to figure out her daily photo prompt. Besides, we do talk on rare occasions, and the message is meant mostly for Sha.

On most days, Sha will eventually share her own Wordle score, sometimes with comment and sometimes not.
