The number of times I have posted on this subject has made me overly predicable. Everyone here knows that my favorite is Oatmeal with raisins and milk. Sometimes Carol makes some toast, but usually it is just Oatmeal with raisins and milk. Carol makes enough extra so that our big dog Scooby can have some too, as he loves it also.
When I was in Amlan, Negros Oriental near Tanjay City and Dumaguete City with Al and Claire we most always had Oatmeal and usually chopped mangoes and milk. Sometimes we have toast with peanut butter with the Oatmeal, chopped mangoes and milk. I don't know whether Al likes Oatmeal and milk, or if he was just being accomodating because he knew that I liked it. We went to bed at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. and we got up anywhere from 4:00 a.m. on. Al would say, "I think I'll have something different this morning; I want Oatmeal with chopped mangoes and milk!" The funny thing is that is what he asked for every morning, and it was fine with me as that is my favorite anyway.
So far it is too early for breakfast. It is about 4:20 a.m. here, and I shouldn't be up, but when I am awake for who knows what reason I get up for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, then I go back to sleep again. I have pretty much turned back around to this time zone. I don't go to bed very early, and I get up whenever I want unless I have a reason to have to get out of bed early and then I can, and usually it is easy for me. For most of my life I had trouble getting up in the morning, but not for the past number of years.
I am officially retired now as of yesterday. I signed up for social security and medicare. I am healthy, strong, and active and I don't think I need any medical attention, but everyone including our daughter has been reminding me that you never know what medically might happen to you, so a little health insurance I guess is good in case of an emergency. I could work at a job to if I wanted to, needed to, and I may in the future, who knows. I have had enough of my own projects to work probably harder than if I had a job, and having leisure to travel near and far, like the Philippines, or across the State is nice too!
