Need to change my ways

Summer time and no pressing schedule. So I stay up too late.
Then I sleep late in the morning. It was 7:30 a.m. when I got up. Gasp!!
When I go to bed early, like 9 pm. I lay awake forever it seems.
Today I will go out for a coffee with Jane after her appointment in Marion.
This morning I want to do an hour or so of work outside, then come cool off.
I have had coffee and a piece of my breakfast bread.
There is a Robin outside my window singing loudly. The birds are happy that I filled the birdbath last night. I believe that is what he is telling me.

@GardenGerty Yep. My son already starts school end of next week. College is different though - daughter still has another month.

I gasp when you said 7:30 was late . I didn't get up until 8:30 and am still having a hard time getting started.
I'm sure the birds were happily singing that they had a filled birdbath this morning.

5 a.m. is my time to get up to be awake before work. 6 is usually for the weekends. I go to bed earlier too.

I would consider getting up at 7:30 an early day. Have fun on your coffee date.

It happens to most if us. We get lazt during our vacation and summer time. However, it is important we do not become too lazy. In that case, the to do lists will increase.I have experienced that . I am still working on my backlog of items from last few vacations and yet to be cleared. It could take time as I am taking it slow with the current set of things. Sounds like you are having a great time. Good to see the birdbath being filled and Robin chirping loudly on the same.Enjoy your summer!

I know how that staying up late thing is. I am a night person and I usually stay up until about 5-6 am. Then I sleep in until about 2p. usually.
Breakfast bread sounds interesting. I used to make banana nut bread. I also made a lot of bran muffins and would freeze them.

I'm sure that's what the robin was telling you. lol I went to bed at 10 and it was well after midnight before I got to sleep. I think I might start staying up later and see if I go to sleep a bit quicker.

Isn't time off grand? Even though I'm mobility impaired, I enjoy not having a schedule to keep. You will love retirement. Have a good weekend.
