The First Post

On line and waiting for inspiration.
I don't know what possesed me to do this, but here goes.
The busy odd day of an old guy.
1. Wake up, promptly go back to sleep. (Who set that stupid clock anyway)
2. Wake up again and check to see if all body parts are still where they were when I went to bed.
3. Roll out, stomp toe, fall back into bed.
4. After throbbing stops, turn on shower and jump around in cold water until it heats up 1/2 hour later.
5. Look into mirror after shower. Who is that old guy looking back?
6. Breakfast - such an exciting meal. Nowadays all cereal tastes alike, eggs and bacon clog my arteries, bread and jelly causes my blood sugar to go sky high. Settle for an apple, that is if we had any.
7. Go to drug store. My drug store now has a special Puddin wing that was built from my purchases. Pharmacits not only know me by first name, I suspect they know by bank account and social security number also.
9. Come back home and take a much deserved nap. Get up 5 minutes later since once I laid down I was wide awake.
10. Began to read my latest Star Trek book, fell fast asleep.
11. Woke up for lunch. Still no apples. Lipton soup sounds good - nope salt content too high. Settled for a grilled cheese (just ignored fat content)
12. Went outside to water my tomato plants. Changed clothes after hose broke.
13. Decided to repair hose. Cut hand with knife.
14. Bandaged hand and went to store to by another hose.
15. Finally got tomatoes watered.
16. Decided to cook supper. Discovered I forgot to put something out.
17. Mac and Cheese for supper.
18. Watched my favorite TV show
19. Fall asleep five minutes into show.
20. Got up and got ready for bed.
21. Not sleepy since I slept for two hours in front of TV.
22. Decided to read some more of my Star Trek book.
23. Fell asleep five minutes into book (I have read the same page 10 times now)
And there you have the exciting life of a old guy. All in all a pretty good day.
Well folks there you have the first installment. Hopefully they will be like me and get better with time.
Puddin.
