Firstly, no writing progress today. M had an early morning doctor's appt (regular check-up, aside from her increasingly faddish enthusiasms, he's fine) which disrupted my usual morning routine. He did not sleep well, went to bed at midnight but didn't get to sleep until his usual bed time of after 4 or so and then had to get up at 7 to get to the ( Read more... )

Last night there was a cat on the middle of my bed when I went up to change. I'm not too happy about the 'middle of the bed' part, for someone who weighs less than 10 lbs she doesn't shift, but I wasn't displeased that she was there. I was hoping to get up around 6. It's not really her fault that she can't read the time off the clock, but it ( Read more... )

Had a touch of insomnia last night. Went to bed at a reasonable hour but could not settle. Finally got up, had a balanced snack (chicken egg-rolls) and a cuppa ginger tea. Read Tintin for a while (in Gaelic - excruciatingly boring story, imho, in that ... a lot happens, but it doesn't make any sense) and finally lay back down, after 2 am. I don ( Read more... )

I have a Fitbit, I asked for it a couple of years ago with the notion of using it as a silent alarm that won't disturb M. I did wear it to track "fitness data" for a while, long enough for the band to begin to split, even though it annoys me that it totally ignores bicycling as a fitness activity ( Read more... )

I had a wellness check yesterday - a very puzzling one. In the past, she has always insisted that I'm on the verge of immediate physical breakdown despite the fact that I feel well and strong and healthy (considering my age and general condition of sloth that is). Yesterday I went in, determined to take charge and not let her brow-beat me. Some ( Read more... )
