Hi Dale,

 RH> I've been trying to get to bed before midnight, tho some nights I
 RH> don't get to sleep until 5 or 6 am. I've an alarm that goes off at 7:30
 RH> to take my asthma maintainence med but if possible, on those nights
 RH> (mornings) I'll try to get a bit more sleep.

 DS> And some nights I don't try to go to bed before 5am, never before 3am.

One nice thing about those sleepless nights is that I'll fall asleep
fast the next night. I'll wake up around 3 am, thinking I've slept all
night and surprised to find it's only 3-ish. And, during the summer with
it getting light earlier, if I see light around 5:30 or so, I wonder why
it's so late--but then I check the time and go back to sleep. In Alaska
when we were on land, it never really got dark even tho the sun set. It
was a sort of twilight until the sun came up so the hotel rooms had room
darkening drapes--helped us sleep "normal" times.


 SD> Some good news: I am now able to walk the seven minute walk each
 SD> from my apartment to the bus stop I use to go to the VA.  I

 DS> Good for you.  I am at the stage where I wish I could walk seven
 DS> minutes without my rollator.

That was Sean's comment. I can walk longer if it's at a normal pace; if
it's a fast walk, I'll get winded faster.

 RH> Looks like you're doing well; a 7 minute walk is a good start. If your
 RH> VA is like the Durham one, you'll be walking a lot more once you get
 RH> there. (G)

 RH> Our truck is in the shop right now but they gave us an F-150 SuperDuty
 RH> as a loaner. Can't pack it full of radio stuff but that means I can do
 RH> a huge Wegman's run if needs be. (G) Went over there on Saturday
 RH> intending on only picking up a couple of things but ended up with much
 RH> more. Our shopping bags were at home so we bought another one (always
 RH> useful) and the cashier packed it quite full. Only things she didn't
 RH> put in were the eggs (2 dozen) and a couple of loaves of bread.

 DS> We call that "it just jumped into the basket".  We can go to the store
 DS> (especially BJs) with a shopping list of four or five things, and come
 DS> out with $150 to $200 worth of stuff.

We do it more often than we should, especially at Wegman's or a place
like Costco or Sam's. Coming home from Raleigh (with our truck) today,
tho, Steve asked if I wanted to stop at Wegman's. Nothing I urgently
needed so I declined. Nice having them so convenient tho.

Looks like a good one. Steve will do a "baked" apple in the microwave,
most often during the winter. He has to take a bedtime med with food so
will sometimes do an apple that way.
