The Seniors Do Tuesday


Tuesday, April 21st.



Wake up at 7. Take meds. Yawn. R leaves to get the paper in town. Hear him come back at 7:45. Yawn. Do some bone-clicking stretches in bed. Get up. R has put together Senior Breakfast ... yada, yada, yada

Go rest on couch in Great Room after breakfast. Read funnies in paper. Read rest of paper. Read current book. Remind self that Book Club is Wednesday night. Have about 300 pages to go.

Get up off couch at 9:30. Tidy the kitchen. Make the bed. Clean the coffee pot, yada, yada, yada.

Head Down to Home Studio. Trim two bowl forms. Admire both forms!


Stop in office to check email and pile of work taking up entire desk. P will think about all this work after she FINISHES THE FDR BOOK!

Shower.

We attend the Senior Luncheon and Movie at Seneca Public Library. ‘Marley and Me’. Subway sandwiches for all. Good company and movie is great. Best of all, it’s all FREE!

Back home. Try to finish Book Club Book Selection for discussion tomorrow night. As moderator, vow never, never again to choose an 800 page biography, no matter HOW good it is!

4:30 pm. Begin healthy dinner. Big salad! Pan-seared Tilapia with chef’s special rub; rice pilaf from last night; steamed broccoli; fruit salad. Benefiber.

6:30: Leave for meeting of Morris Area Garden Club, making sure to use a LOT of mouthwash to deter the garlic that seems to be the chef’s specialty.

Garden Club runs until almost 9 pm, due to incredibly enthusiastic, in depth speaker who waxes non-stop eloquent on the subject of growing orchids. R only has time for two cupcakes after the meeting, because P wants to get home to FINISH THE #&*!! BOOK!

Home at nearly ten.

10 pm. Finally sit on couch. Catch the end of the Cubs game. One glass of Pinot Grigio. Stay up for the news, then sit up until God Knows When finishing the 800 page bio of FDR! Having re-lived the Great Depression as well as WWII, P stumbles to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Flop into bed.
