Holding the Phone

Just trying a post from the old iPhone - learning a new trick every day . . .

It's post-Thanksgiving and Breda is back from a visit to Ireland, accompanied by the mudder-in-law. Stella loves coming over here and spending time with us . . . Especially with her granddaughter. If ever there was a woman crazy about her grandchildren, it's Stella! In the meantime, Riro and I are readjusting to company in the house. The kid has to sleep on the floor in the loft, which of course she loves.

For my own part I'm experimenting with the concept of early rising! I've been getting up at 5 AM for the past week. It's been easier than I thought it would be, especially seeing as I've always thought of myself as a terminally late to bed, late to rise individual. Anyway the theory is, go to bed when u feel tired and get up the same time every morning. Not having a lot of discipline to retire early, I'm a bit tired right now! But I think one feeds the other - the more tired u are the more likely you are to hit the hay a bit earlier. So I will try it for a month and see if it is habit forming. Seems to me it is the kind of thing that ought to be a lifetime habit. So far what I've found is this: I can get to the gym every morning, I get a whole bunch of time to get stuff done with very little interuption, I watch less television, I feel more on top of things generally. And that's after only one week!

So now I'm going to bed . . . At 9 PM!
