Saturday, April 4

I had trouble going to sleep again last night. This time, it was because Hubbie was having a bit of sleep apnea. Lying on his back, hands across his chest, he seemed to hold his breath endlessly, and then suddenly gasp for breath, while at the same time raising his hands. It would have been comical, if it hadn't been so disturbing. Anyway, it was nearly 2 a.m. the last time I looked at the clock before drifting off.

We were up by about 7:30 a.m., and after breakfast, I hopped on the treadmill. Later, Mother came over, and we went down to the local community college to attend a Renaissance Fair. We toured the exhibits, watched a short comedy skit in the theater, and a battle between reenactor opponents in authentic costumes out on the campus grounds, and listened to a chorale concert in the library, and then came home for lunch. The college has hosted this event for several years, and we've attended most of them. It's interesting, and the costumes are very colorful.

Hubbie opted out of going in favor of doing some yard work. He had chicken noodle soup and sandwich makings ready when we got home about 12:30 p.m.

After lunch, we ran errands...to the pharmacy, and then to the WDCS. Mother needed several items, and we needed a few groceries, particularly bread. We spent the rest of the afternoon doing this and that household chores.

Supper was barbecue chicken sandwiches (shredded boiled chicken and barbecue sauce cooked in the slow cooker) served with baked sweet potatoes and corn-on-the-cob. After supper, Hubbie spent our quiet hour alternately reading, and watching the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament between Michighan State and the University of Connecticut. I spent my time continuing to back up my photo files on CDs.

Later, we watched a couple of one-hour shows on TV, while from time-to-time checking on the Final Four basketball tournament between Villanova and North Carolina, which, of course, NC won.
