I've been trying to get to bed before midnight, tho some nights I
don't get to sleep until 5 or 6 am. I've an alarm that goes off at 7:30
to take my asthma maintainence med but if possible, on those nights (mornings) I'll try to get a bit more sleep.

And some nights I don't try to go to bed before 5am, never before 3am.

Some good news: I am now able to walk the seven minute walk each
from my apartment to the bus stop I use to go to the VA. I

Good for you. I am at the stage where I wish I could walk seven minutes without my rollator.

Looks like you're doing well; a 7 minute walk is a good start. If your
VA is like the Durham one, you'll be walking a lot more once you get there. (G)

Our truck is in the shop right now but they gave us an F-150 SuperDuty
as a loaner. Can't pack it full of radio stuff but that means I can do
a huge Wegman's run if needs be. (G) Went over there on Saturday
intending on only picking up a couple of things but ended up with much more. Our shopping bags were at home so we bought another one (always useful) and the cashier packed it quite full. Only things she didn't
put in were the eggs (2 dozen) and a couple of loaves of bread.

We call that "it just jumped into the basket". We can go to the store (especially BJs) with a shopping list of four or five things, and come
out with $150 to $200 worth of stuff.

Hi Dale,

I've been trying to get to bed before midnight, tho some nights I
don't get to sleep until 5 or 6 am. I've an alarm that goes off at 7:30
to take my asthma maintainence med but if possible, on those nights (mornings) I'll try to get a bit more sleep.

And some nights I don't try to go to bed before 5am, never before 3am.

One nice thing about those sleepless nights is that I'll fall asleep
fast the next night. I'll wake up around 3 am, thinking I've slept all
night and surprised to find it's only 3-ish. And, during the summer with
it getting light earlier, if I see light around 5:30 or so, I wonder why
it's so late--but then I check the time and go back to sleep. In Alaska
when we were on land, it never really got dark even tho the sun set. It
was a sort of twilight until the sun came up so the hotel rooms had room darkening drapes--helped us sleep "normal" times.

Some good news: I am now able to walk the seven minute walk each
from my apartment to the bus stop I use to go to the VA. I

Good for you. I am at the stage where I wish I could walk seven
minutes without my rollator.

That was Sean's comment. I can walk longer if it's at a normal pace; if
it's a fast walk, I'll get winded faster.

Looks like you're doing well; a 7 minute walk is a good start. If your
VA is like the Durham one, you'll be walking a lot more once you get there. (G)

We do it more often than we should, especially at Wegman's or a place
like Costco or Sam's. Coming home from Raleigh (with our truck) today,
tho, Steve asked if I wanted to stop at Wegman's. Nothing I urgently
needed so I declined. Nice having them so convenient tho.

Looks like a good one. Steve will do a "baked" apple in the microwave,
most often during the winter. He has to take a bedtime med with food so
will sometimes do an apple that way.
