In bed at 9, up at 4:40; 0500 135/76/59 105 204.4; 68/87/65 Extreme Heat Warning.
Morning meds at 9:15 a.m., and Eliquis at 6:55 a.m. and p.m.
Taking a day off, unless I get an inspiration later on. My day has been largely consumed getting through the closing chapters of Lonesome Dove. McMurtry spins quite a yarn. Over several hundred pages of living with his characters, a reader gets a bit invested in them, wondering how their stories will work out. I'm not expecting a happy ending for everybody, no resolution of their many challenges, especially Woodrow Call's, but I'm hoping for something other than massacres by the Sioux.
