MEET "SLEEPY TIME GAL"

This morning I had a telephone conversation with a friend that moved into Brooksby one week after I did.

We see each other periodically, check up on what we have been up to, help each other with what we find interesting, and pass the word along.

There is a monthly calendar of in-house activities, there is a trip flyer that comes out once a month, and Brooksby has it's own TV program that runs daily with loads of information.

And if that's not enough, we also have what we call "the cubby."

When there is something new happening, a change, or anything of importance to communicate, we'll find it there.

There's more, but you get the idea.

I try to keep up with what's going on here, but having a friend to compare notes with helps a lot.

Now, here's where "Sleepy Time Gal" comes in.

While we were talking, I brought up something that has been on my mind for a while.  I've been going to bed very early.  Comes 9 o'clock,  I can't keep my eyes open, and off to bed I go.

Her response  to me was, "everyone goes to bed early here, it's not unusual, that's the way it is."

That made me feel so much better!

With all the activities, and the WALKING that we do, it's no wonder that we are ready for bed so early.

ONE MORE OBSERVATION

Before I lived here I visited a number of times and was impressed with the smiling staff and happy residents.

I thought, "they must put something in the cookies!"

Now that I live here, and am sleeping so well at night, I know they do!

Ha ha ha. Only kidding! ;-)

As you've gotten older, has your sleeping routine changed?
