I get 9 hours of sleep (midnight - 9am) then two hours of reading online (email, city paper, NYT, Facebook). I should also watch that series ... Beginning Oct 1 I started walking on purpose. Minimum of 2,000 steps (which sounds way better than one mile) and I hope to increase each week until I get to 4-5 thousand. Already I notice I am sleeping better and being a little more social as I pass people in the complex and have a little chat.

At work, people knew enough to leave me be until I got that first cup of coffee and through my e-mails.<br />I would have never have thought of you as an introvert. You always seem to be on the go. My outings are limited to grocery shopping and one knitting group. Perhaps I need more interaction with people.Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-38074793999076869942022-10-08T07:38:12.748-06:002022-10-08T07:38:12.748-06:00I could have written those words about not being a...I could have written those words about not being a morning person!

Things switched around after having children and working in the school system. Most of my "chores" are now done in the morning so I can spend the afternoons relaxing by knitting, sewing, cross stitching, or rug making.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-27715913167851330862022-10-07T15:21:32.916-06:002022-10-07T15:21:32.916-06:00I'm not a morning person either, so I complete...I'm not a morning person either, so I completely understand being up early but not accomplishing much. i need my coffee to function.
