It’s Still Morning?

Our day got off to a confusing start. I came downstairs this morning to find my husband already wanting to go to the grocery store. He likes to eat what we call a ‘sugar ball,’ (since it’s bad for his diabetes) – an apple pie section from the local store. Since we’re monitoring his blood sugar carefully, I have given in to his eating something not on the list once a day. He’s good about most everything else, so this goes into the “life is too short to do without it” category.

So, I grabbed my phone and the grocery list and we left before I even had my day-starting cup of coffee. We put mail in our box at the bottom of the driveway as we left. Happily, it had been picked up by the time we got back! My husband walked the huge trash can back where we tether it to a pole, but for some reason decided that we didn’t need to tie it to the pole today. I disagreed, since we’ve learned the hard way that even our 200+ pound robot we built who stands at the side of the driveway is blown over by gusty winds, and so I went up and tethered it before we drove back up. (It’s amazing that we have lasted so long – we disagree on a LOT – we don’t even use the same salt – but we’ll celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary in June)

We got things put away and I finally sat down at my computer to enjoy some coffee and it was already mid-morning.

Since I got my computer table and desk cleaned off – bills paid, filing done, etc. – I patted myself on the head and listened to some music before deciding what I’ll do for the rest of the day.

I hope you’re having a great Wednesday, too.
