Binge Watching

Hello. Is it binge watching if I watch three hours of TV in one day? I have decided to watch All Creatures Great and Small as well as Downton Abby. I was planning to watch it on the TV. Because we contribute to the station that airs it, we can watch older programs. For some reason that ability stopped and it says we need to contribute again. I could still get it on the laptop. Don’t have a clue how to resign in on the TV. For a while we were casting to the TV from the laptop. That worked just fine. For unknown reason we can no longer find the TV listed to cast to it. So, the library was the next solution to the issue. The only thing is that the shows are in season packages. I like to return things on time hence more watching than I usually do. We can renew, but some of the packages are from other libraries so they cannot be renewed. I might get used to a lot of screen time. Leroy is ok watching All Creatures, but prefers not to watch Downton. There is not a lot of room for him to go else where with a good reading light. It means when he is not home, I spent a bit of time. It has doubled or tripled my screen time. I will have the other tooth extracted tomorrow. That will mean some quiet days. More screen time? I do have about three books to read. I started one of them and I am not sure that I really like it. Paula

Does a Nap Help

Hello, When there is a lack of sleep in the night, is the sleep need rescued by napping? I am not sure. I almost never take a nap. Today’s nap almost helps me feel a bit more rested, but a bit groggy as well. It seems to me night sleep is the best. Volunteering was good this morning. I like being busy and feeling like there is a purpose. I helped put some things on the shelves. One person said, “I knocked a couple boxes of macaroni and cheese on the floor at the back of the shelf. Someone else will have to get it.” I squatted down to look under the shelf. Then I needed to get to hands and knees. I found several boxes of the mac and cheese. There was also a box of mashed potatoes in packages along with several cans of things. Someone was quite surprised to see me down on the floor. It is all the moves that I do during the week that help me be able to do this with a certain amount of ease. I have done it for much of my life. I should rest easy at night. but if we have been out for anything it seems to get my sleep pattern off. We have church choir on Wednesday nights and those nights are always hard for me. Paula

Volunteering

Hello, We volunteered at the Saturday evening meal at church. The team was a bit different. A boy was working for his Eagle Scout Badge. He recruited seven other scouts to help him. Only three of us were part of our usual team. That was a clean up crew. It seems to be a bit more specialized. As it involves running the dishwasher. Leroy and I scraped trays put dirty glasses and cups in the proper trays, and sorted the silverware, I guess it is still called silverware even though it is not silver. I will admit to being a rather tired. Leroy did eat a bit of ham and some bread when we were mostly done. I am not much of a ham eater so I did not. I dragged behind Leroy on the way home. Perhaps it was because I was hungry. If any salad or vegetables had been left, I would have eaten some of them. There were more than 150 servings tonight. I have 14,218 steps. Leroy only has a bit over ten thousand. In the morning, I got some groceries since we were out of bananas. Leroy stayed home and did some cleaning which does not get so many steps. We have had a bit of rain the last couple days. It was nice to be able to walk tonight without that. The wind made it rather daunting at times. Paula
