Monday mumbles

 The most productive thing I did all day was to spend an hour on my arm bike doing the first of my 200 minutes. If this week progresses as it should I will have at least two more days maybe three to get to the 200 minute mark. Today's effort was pretty challenging I did sleep well last night I'm not sleeping very well the last couple of days. I seem to be waking up way early today I woke up around 3:00 a.m. and finally got on and off sleep until 6 a.m. when I usually get up for the day. I have felt okay today but I didn't really do anything to speak of watch too much television. The day looked pretty good from the standpoint of weather but there were some high clouds blocking some of the sunshine and it didn't really get as warm as they said they were going to be. I doubt that would have made much difference whether I'd gotten out or not but maybe. I didn't go out one time and sat in the Sun or what was there and it just didn't feel comfortable maybe I want too much. Perhaps I was thrown off by the fact that my home health person came almost an hour early and I was barely even ready for her in fact she had to wait around until I finished shaving, she was that early.


Before Melissa got here to do my morning ritual it had been a little busy around the apartment I washed up some dishes and pans in case we were going to do any cooking any cookie needed to be done for breakfast. I believe I've outlined before the deal that we have instead of leaving a tip or giving Melissa a tip I just make sure she has coffee hot coffee in the morning when she gets here as well as food that she could ingest while in my service. I figure it's small potatoes. The cleanup wasn't professional that's for sure and the floor once again is a mess of potato chips, bread crumbs and other items that have been living on top of the surface of the food area between the refrigerator and the range. Still a lot of work needs to be done I'm sort of holding off for Gloria when she can come over again she does such a great job and she's so quick. Aside from that however it's been a pretty quiet day here in the apartment. It's still pretty early in the evening for me to go to bed and I'm afraid that if I did I would actually wake up even earlier than I did today. I find if I stay up till 12:00 a.m. or whatever I have a better chance of sleeping all the way into 6:00 a.m. or close. But try to stay awake that long just wears me outI could try reading or even watching something on one of the flat screens that surround my bed but that seems like it's cheating. However, I'm stuck in the middle of watching all the Daredevil episodes that I didn't even know were there. It just doesn't seem right
