A day at the beach 1/16/12

• Saw a dazzling sunrise, then the clouds crowded in to muck up the day.
• Got in a couple hours of good writing time on my memoir this morning.
• Hadn't been out of BlueWater since the movie fiasco on Saturday, so I bundled up and headed to Food Lion.  Dayum, the groceries are high down here.  Since I'd already spent a small fortune on food, decided to splurge on a large veggie pan pizza at Pizza Hut -- major delish!  And I'll get four meals out of it for 10 bucks plus tax.  That's a deal.
• Couple more hours of writing, then took a break to beachwalk.  The wind blew straight off the ocean, chilling the right half of my face as I walked north, then the left half as I walked back.  At least I'll be evenly chapped.  Dodged jellyfish today instead of horse plop.  Can't decide which is more gross.  And the gulls and sand pipers nibble on the gooey jellyfish.  Why is it not poisonous to them?  So many things I don't know.  Splashes of sun found me as I was walking, made my armpits sweat.  Don't care.  Thanks, Sunbella, for the sun-charged energy you gave me.
• Didn't dodge the dog plop, unfortunately.  Much harder to wash off my sneakers than sand.  Ugh!
• Back to mostly cloudy now.  Probably no sunset watching tonight to mark time to uncork the wine.  Guess I'll just pick a time to start drinking.  Maybe 3:30??
