Adjusting to life without medical appointments
Ann Marie sent an email saying I must blog almost every day – even if nothing happened! She would be glad to see me writing a poem or a short story. “Just do something Mom!!!!”
So, last week was the first week in months that the Geezer had no appointments. We have been cut free! We seemed directionless! What to do with all of our time. No alarms were set. So we slept in. Getting up at 10 am does shorten daytime hours! Of course we are up watching the Daily Show and Colbert so by the time we do get into bed it is midnight or later. The other HUGH problem is that by eating breakfast at 11 all meal times are wrong. The Geezer wants three meals – and he wants dinner at 6 pm. The Crone tried to experiment with two meals and a light snack (since we seem to be eating too much for the level of our activity). The Geezer ate the two meals and had about 5 or 6 light snacks. So that plan is not going to work. Send any suggestions. The Geezer thinks we will just have to get up early – like 8 am. My take on that is that I am becoming sleep deprived. It must be noted here that when the Geezer needs to use the bathroom at night he must wake me up. He does this twice during the night (like 3 am and 6:30 am). He falls back to sleep when his head hits the pillow. It takes me somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes to get to sleep. I think this is due to the amount of energy I am putting forth to get him out of bed, into the bathroom, out of the bathroom and back into bed! So the Geezer is awake and now the day begins! 9:41 am.

Okay, that was good. But it was also five days ago and now we all know that you have no medical appointments, so get writing!
