The day started w/ the usual Fajr prayer, w/ fall pushing first light back farther & farther, today at 5:53am. Once back in bed, the apartment smoke detector decided its battery was exhausted, giving a very audible beep every 30 seconds or so, until stalwart would-be sleeper removed the 9V, noticed the wires in the back, & decided against pulling those in case of blaring (courtesy for neighbors); so took a sunrise stroll to a convenience store & dropped a keen $12 on their last remaining. 👍 Once that was silenced, coffee was made, a chapter of fiction was read, & work was gone to, staying highly productive throughout. The evening brought Brazilian jiu-jitsu class, training convenient ways of felling an opponent, as well as then-available ankle-locks, w/ sparring afterward, a good opportunity to test mettle (& be choked). A quick shower was in store to avoid infection, & the couch is now occupied, w/ oatmeal in bowl & muted UFC playing away as companions. If time permits, an episode of “Police Squad!” will be watched, the short series that became “Naked Gun.”
Yesterday’s viewing of “Oh, God!” was a delight, & is now a personal fav. 👏
