What a Morning!

Hi everyone! It was so dark out this morning when I woke up. I had to use a flashlight when I walked Doodles and again when I met up with my friends to begin our morning walk. We went out for breakfast afterwards, but I had to leave early to rush home to change my clothes. I’m leaving my house once again for a tennis game and it’s not even 9:00AM! At least it’s a beautiful, sunny day now. See you after my game!

@just4him You’re right, but I don’t use an alarm clock. I get to the track when I get there. There is always someone coming or going. 6 of my friends show up at various times and leave when they leave.

@DianneN I'm glad you won. I tried to stay in bed this morning. It didn't work. What is it, we work for x number of years and dread the alarm clock every morning. Then when we retire and can throw the thing out the window, we're still getting up early.

Wow! That was a lot to get in before it's light! I do hate it when its still dark outside in the morning and the sad part is we're headed into that 4:40 pm dark period that happens when you put the clock back.

I agree! That’s the worst. We turn our clocks back November 3rd. When do you do yours?

It was so dark this morning, I turned the external light on to check if the kitties were already waiting for me and one was there on our doormat, silly thing, he knows that I open my door early.

@DianneN Slave of cats. When I bought another box of cat food yesterday my husband asked "what did you do of the other?". At my answer "they ate the food" he said "they eat more than we do". I think he is right, but at least they do not drink Martini.

@DianneN no because the tennis court is expensive. Do you watch pro tennis like Osaka, Barty, and Bianca?

@Alexandoy Yes, some courts are very costly. Our town provides free courts or we use the courts at our club. I sometimes watch, but would rather play.

I am glad Doodles got his walk. My two go on the other side of the house and hide and than come out when you shake their treat bag.

Lol! Doodles went under a massive bush a few times and the only way we could get him out was by shaking a treat bag.

Yes, and that’s why I was so exhausted today. . It’s a rainy day here, so I took it easy, read a book, and took a nap. Now I’m going to have dinner and watch a movie with my husband.

@Janet357 I only play with different friends. I played singles today. Sometimes I play doubles. Perhaps you’re using the wrong racket. There are many that are lighter than others.

He basically sits on the sidewalk or stays in the driveway when it’s this dark. Of course we have lighting on all around the house. Thanks. I won.
