Something funny
About 45 minutes ago, I got up to go to the bathroom. When I got back in bed, Kate was up. Nothing unusual about that. She frequently gets up to go to the bathroom at this time of morning. Then I heard her in the kitchen. Next thing I knew was that she had come back into the bedroom with a glass of apple juice in one hand and a container of yogurt in the other. This was at 4:15 a.m. She turned on the light followed by the TV. I looked over at her and asked (in a very non-threatening way), “What are you doing?” She answered, “Having my breakfast.” I pointed out that it was 4:15. She said, “So?” About five minutes later, she was again ready for bed, turned off the TV and light, and got under the covers as if this were the regular routine.
This brought back quite a few funny moments with my dad. He frequently woke up in the middle of the night and didn’t realize what time it was. When he did, I, along with my brother and two or three close friends, received phone calls from him. I’m glad that all of us were able to accept this habit humorously.
We leave for Texas today, and there are still a few odds and ends that I need to take care of before going to the airport. This will give me a little time for that.
