We were up this morning at the usual time, about 7 o'clock, and we're fiddling around tidying up last night's dishes and having breakfast. I don't think there's anything planned but that's OK; we can keep ourselves busy no matter what. Marilyn will likely ring her sister, Anne, which she does every morning. Anne is my age and is now in an Aged Care facility in Sydney. She was widowed a couple of years ago and couldn't live on her own so her family found this solution. By all accounts, it's a great place and Anne seems happy to be there. When Marilyn rings her they talk about what is planned for the day and it seems the facility works hard to keep the residents involved and active.
Our normal day is not as structured as that. Sometimes, we have a meeting of Probus to go to or some shopping but it's more likely we won't cross the threshold. And that's OK. We just celebrate each day that we're reasonably healthy, reasonably compos mentis, and still have each other.
