I like Pat's answer. I wish sometimes I could get more into a routine.

I think like small children who feel safe and confident with sameness throughout the day, so do we when we get old. When I was nursing I was quite amazed how my darlings never tired of doing the same routine day after day. I would like to feel more settled myself now.

It does seem like the older one gets, the more likely one is to have a routine of things. I guess it just works out that way.

You've gotten some great comments here. You have such an active mind that I'm sure you can do just about whatever you chose to do. You will enjoy your sister's visit and it will be fun for you. You are blessed.

Re: You call it a rut; I think it's a groove. Much groovier to be setting
Of course you are right. Both of my older sisters spent their last years in a nursing home, one here and one in Illinois.

Well Taps I guess it is a new experience for for many ,we slowly move along
and can hardly believe that time has passed. It is not so dusty as long as one
remains sober, well partially so. I have been in pain with Polymyalgia for a few
months, it is probably inherited I remember a Grandmother she could hardly walk.
I will probably be O.K. if I can seek divine help. Or I expect I can just ignore it.
You have a lively mind and I hope your visitors bring cheer/. Now I am going to
have a glass of New Zealand wine and sweep the chimney, no not that this new
keyboard must be enchanted.

You call it a rut; I think it's a groove. Much groovier to be setting
your own schedule, taking care of yourself, doing your own cooking, etc., than any alternative I can think of.

Good afternoon
God bless you! I can only hope to see the ninth decade of my life. Too many lose their life way too young. Enjoy your visit with your sister. I am visiting my brother later this month who is eighteen years younger than myself.
