I generally don't do early mornings, maybe due to all the meds I take to conk me out at night (bipolar history). But, I'm checking in here at 5:47 p.m. to say "hi." I'm away from home, heading on vacation. I'm taking a cane and a knee brace along because I have a "bad knee" (doctor's actual words) and will eventually need a replacement.

We're hiring out more and more things as we get feebler, such as housework and yardwork. Hubby and I are both disabled and in our sixties.
