Friday Morning With Photos

 I had a medical appointment on Friday morning. An ultrasound to see if I might expect an aneurysm.

Needing caffeine, I made my way down to the convenience store - the same trek I had made the night before. This is what the trip looked like.

Yes, it was another grand gray morning.

In an hour later, I caught the bus from the same spot and had a time to wait for the westbound bus. I got stamps at the post office.

What used to be an area that included a grocery store is now a colony of healthcare facilities.

Which included my destination:

This sign is close by the bus stop, and it tickled my fancy.

The only color in the area: the awning over the skate park:

Afterward, I had time before The Dumpling House opened. I decided to take some pictures of the major feature of Indiana, of this area in Muncie.

Then I decided to see if our gray sky looked any better with filters applied.

Is it a wonder that the worst days of my depression were from this time of the year until around March? I am surprised suicides do not start rising. Since this is what we live with during the holidays, it shocks that rare are the family massacres over turkey and cranberry sauce.

This one does offer more hope, if that does say all that much.

I walked over to Payless to do a little shopping, but mostly to kill time. The view from that parking lot looking north to those banners of American culture: Arby's, Taco Bell, KFC.

Then it was time for lunch at The Dumpling House:

I will continue after lunch with my report of Friday's group session. My ride to church was sick, and I was left home. I need Coke Zero, so taking a walk.
