Hello,
I am back in the old life as my new life wakes me up early. My primary function is to be a caregiver and run our home. I feed the family (wife, me, and pets), keep everyone warm or cool, and keep them dry. I also do yard work, laundry, cleaning, and, most of all, pay the bills. It isn't fun, but it is rewarding to see things return to a coherent and predictable pattern.
The mole I had removed on Monday was benign (negative for cancer cells). But I suppose having a dermatologist now for annual check-ups is a good thing as I get older. There are more doctors to see than family or friends.
Caregiving leaves little time for a garden, but I have some plants scattered about. (tomatoes, green pepper, and flowers). I erected a fence around part of the backyard so the dogs can get out, and I need not leave my wife alone.
She will sit with me in the afternoon when I put on an old movie to take a break. She is in bed before 8 p.m., and I try to get to watch a British TV program or two before I turn in by 10 p.m. I have herbal tea, a small Potpourri of mugwort, and some melatonin to encourage dreams.
Having sex, let alone kinky things, is perhaps for another time. I suppose I will blog when I think of something to write about (most posts are quicker, and I can squeeze them into a day). JIm
