My average is probably 5 hours (6 at most) and even that is not a steady sleep. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted October 28, 2022 #75928 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I forgot to mention, I had my annual physical today. Got a clean bill of health. Weeks of preparing my "fake body" paid off as all my numbers were good. I can now go back to my regular overindulget self. Celebrated by going out to breakfast - ham & cheese omelet, buttered toast, fried potatoes and not pictured 2 sausage links & 7 strips of bacon. But, still trying to keep somewhat healthy, took a 5 mile walk on a rails-to-trail bike path. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted October 28, 2022 #75931 Share Posted October 28, 2022 As for sleep, I might be in bed for 7 or 8 hours but only get between 4.5 - 5.5 hours per night. I'm a light sleeper so I'll wake up often - bathroom breaks, neighbors loud dog bark late at night or in the pre-dawn hours, loud crows at sunrise, etc. Sometimes I'll take Zquil, which is Nyquil without the cough medicine, to get a more solid, uninterrupted sleep. But still less than 7 hours and I usually feel groggy the next morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still sad as I am a summer girl. Walked by our local elementary school and wish I had phone with me to take photos. Huge Halloween party in the parking with kiddos in a parade. We had Halloween parades in the hallway in my elementary, nothing like the party they were having tonight. Looked like lots of fun🎃 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not but now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance. Rockland Lake is as traquil as you remember it. I still go there a few times a year when in the neighborhood. Most people don't realize there is a small cemetery within the boundary of the park and I have relatives buried here.

I always say that I love 4 seasons of equal length (hence, why I love the area where I live) but truth is, I'm most sad when summer is over. I love the fall and adjust quickly but that first week of wearing long-sleeve shirts, jackets heavy jeans, socks AND shoes is brutal.

I always say I love the change of seasons and being able to go to shore or the mountains or city whenever in the mood but you are so right I'm do sad when I cannot wear flip flops all the time and have to put on cold weather clothes. We need to get back to LBI soon. We were going to go the other week then I had covid now we have to be home for new fridge tomorrow. Hopefully next weekend will be nice and we go then to deep clean our house from summer/fall renters. And some nice walks on beach and bike rides around beach haven.

I'd be interested on your thoughts on Keen's steakhouse. I've never been but its' on my bucket list as I'm a carnivore. Peter Luger in Brooklyn or Gallagher's are the usual gold standards of NYC steakhouses. Across the street from Keens is a Irish sports bar called The Keg Room, one of my pre-game, post-game watering holes when attending NY Ranger games. 🙂 Edited October 29, 2022 by HBE4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sore loser. lol I have to root for a team if I choose to watch a WS.I had two very close friends who relocated from Brooklyn to a Houston suburb. Over the years some really bad during the season players played great in the WS and conversely Verlander who will be a first ballot Hall of Fame pitcher does lousy in the WS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
