Reflections of My Life

Not sure what the day holds for me. I have to take a walk outside to the dumpster. Probably not going to sit out there because the smokers are out and usually sit out there all day. Too hot for me anyway. I am waiting for my Amazon package to be delivered first so I can do it all in one trip. Out to the dumpster and then to the mailbox and back. I hear people using the elevator so it must be working. As long as I can get back here is all I care about.

My days race by so quickly I can't believe it. I suppose this is what happens when you get to your seventies. People mention being bored and I can't even imagine that. I can't get everything done in one day that I planned on. Still working on my file cabinet though I admit I did not work on it yesterday. I get up pretty early but go to bed early too. I am turning off my fairy lights and see people still sitting outside. I can't say that is due to my age because I have always been like that. Morning is my time. I hate night time and always have.

My first husband would stay up all night watching television at his desk in our family room. Then in the morning I was constantly waking him up so he could make it to a client's appointment. I was calling his secretary to tell her he would be late (for some false reason, but she knew). She would change his appointment to a later time. Horrible way to run a business! He did work at his desk too so not just watching television but he could not go to bed at a decent hour.
 

Happy Friday everyone says. Since I do not go to a job Friday is not special to me. When I worked as a CNA in a nursing home I had every other Friday off before a week-end that I had to work. So week-ends weren't always off anyway. When I lived at my house I sold online so Monday was my favorite day because of the post office being open and I could mail out packages. Now I even receive packages from the post office on Sundays if they can figure out how to get into the building (they are not smart enough to figure out how to use the intercom to get buzzed into the building yet). :)

Every morning now before I turn on the computer I am having my first cup of coffee and reading. Reading two books now. One is on my Kindle. The computer ends up taking a lot of my time and I never get back to my books. So figured this is the best time do that. I love to read and once I get started it is hard to put the book down.

I am making a memory test for myself. Write out a bunch of words on a sheet of paper. Then cut each one out and put it in a jar or a container. Take out 3 every morning and read them aloud. Then put them away where you can't see them. About 10-15 minutes later write the words down. Then check the words you put away with what you wrote down.

This is the same test they give you in the doctor's office to see how your memory is. I think mine must be pretty good though there are times when I have to check something over and over. I have so many passwords, pin numbers, email addresses and websites to remember it is a wonder I can remember them all. I do have them all written down in a notebook, just in case.
