I decided to skip my exercises this morning in favor of sleeping late. We didn't get up until nearly 8:30 a.m. However, I had trouble falling asleep last night, and didn't drift off until around 12:30 a.m.
Hubbie is able to go to sleep nearly as soon as his head hits the pillow, which is great, but he also gets up a few times a night to take care of duties, including taking Shih Tzu for potty-break walks outdoors, or carrying her up or downstairs to whatever bathroom she takes a whim to sleep in (she's too blind and arthritic to manage the stairs by herself anymore).
We spent the rest of the morning in our usual Sunday activities...choosing TV shows and movies to schedule into the DVR, putting a beef roast, with carrots and onions, into the slow cooker for lunch, reading the Sunday paper, and listening to music.
This week I chose show tunes, because a couple of the CDs had the song "Memory," from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" featured on them. My choice of music on Sundays is often dictated by whatever we've experienced recently...like watching that movie yesterday. If we go to a symphony concert, then I'll choose classical music the following Sunday. If we go to a 1940s Big Band concert, then I'll choose music from that era. We have fairly eclectic musical tastes. As Mother says, "My favorite kind of music is whatever I'm listening to that day."
We also spent quite a bit of time on the phone talking with family, including a son, a daughter, a granddaughter, a great-grandson, and a great-granddaughter.
Daughter told us that Great-Grandson's dog was hit by a car and killed, and he is very, very distraught. I talked with him briefly and sent him a pet sympathy e-card. We know how hurt he is, and our hearts go out to him. We've lost several beloved pets over the years, and it never gets easier...they are such an integral part of the family.
Great-Grandson will begin school tomorrow, entering the fifth grade. It's good that he will have that distraction right now.
Granddaughter, on the other hand, is ecstatic, because she has located a suitable used car to purchase that is priced within her budget, and that her dad feels confident will be reliable transportation for her to travel to and from college in another town. Right now, she plans to come for a visit next Saturday, so we can see the car. I hope nothing happens to keep her from coming.
