Whew etc.
It was great to hear from you Susan. Thanks for the post on Gilead; I’ll see if booksfree has it.
I’m so glad your cataract surgery went so nicely – if all operations were that easy, wouldn’t life be fun!
I don’t mind getting up early, I just don’t like getting out of bed!!!!!!!!! 
   Actually, I’ve somehow gotten my schedule mixed up so that I don’t get to sleep until 11 or later and so don’t wake up until 8-ish, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. And it too depends on how often I have to get up to make the trip across the hall. Even if I don’t drink anything after 5 except to take my nighttime pill, I seem to trot across the hall way more often than I like. Sigh.Â
But even getting up at 8, I stay in my nightshirt and slippers, brew my tea and get on this infernal machine. This town doesn’t do morning papers except on Saturday and Sunday mornings which is a real bummer. I like a MORNING paper. But privileges of growing old – you betcha. And so are the percent off days at the local department stores! And the movie theater – but oh my the sound was so loud!
And I agree that mornings like this are the best part of the day even tho I get it later than you two.Â
