Faye and I spent a long weekend at Mary's and enjoyed ourselves immensely, as usual, but playing Rummicubes until mid mornings just about killed me. It completely threw off my wake-up schedule, too, and I do love seeing the sun rise.
We did some shopping on Friday and I bought a few artificial flowers for the apartment...they were perfect for the spots I'd planned. Then we went to the casino on Saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed the day even though I lost all my money. Both Faye and Mary won quite a bit.
We lounged around on Sunday and babysat Don and Mary's greatgrandbaby, Laila (?), for a few hours. She's 6 months old and a beautiful little redhead. Then we went to our favorite little Chinese restaurant for dinner.
Monday was another lazy morning with coffee on the deck until Faye and I left for a side trip to see Ken and Pat. Pat is so ill but still so cheery and enjoying company. They have strong religious beliefs that are seeing them through this sad time but I can't help but feel how unfair it is for them. They have such a lovely life together.
I slept for 2 hours when I got home and even had 2 2 hour naps on Tuesday trying to make up for the loss of sleep over the weekend. Faye said she'd going to get Valerie to write her a note to take out to Mary saying she's not allowed to stay up late. I wonder if Kim would write me a note, too?
I think I caught up on my sleep, though, because I was up and moving at 6 A.M. this morning and feel as though I'm back to normal. Getting old means we can't strain our physical resources and then bounce back easily. We have to consider ourselves lucky that we're still here and having fun...just as long as the fun ends before midnight.
