1962 Soviet ships approached but stop short of the US blockade of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis

In bed around 10, up at 6:12 and let Lilly out around 8. 

Prednisone day 163, 5 mg., day 14/28.    Prednisone at 6:20.  Breakfast of corned beef hash and 3 basted eggs at 8:45.  'Morning meds' at 1:10 p.m.

Logbook: Morning spent barely reading thenewspapers and nodding off despite long time in bed overnight.

11 a.m.  Shower, shave, dress.

Noonish.  Mix and bake a cinnamon loaf.

12:30.  Filled two weeks worth of medications in pill boxes. 

1:45  Filled the bird feeder tube.

2:00 I removed the cinnamon loaf for its pan and glazed it.  Looking out the kitchen window, I noticed that the robins have started gathering together and eating the red berries on our trees along County Line Road.  Do robins actually gather in flocks at the time of year or do they just appear to be flocking because they all show up on these trees when their berries are ripe enough to eat?  Will we spot a flock of cedar waxwings this year on these trees?  Fingers crossed. 

3:00 I went to Sendik's to pick up some cereal and Listerine.

  

This is the note I found on my recliner as I started the day.  I love her humor.
