9. Daily Routine

Ten minutes after the alarm buzzes, I get out of bed, wake HardPlace,

and go down the stairs.
and out the door to get the newspaper.




I go back inside
and up the steps for my first cup of coffee




I go halfway up the steps to tell HardPlace
it's time to get out of bed.
Back down to top off my cup
and start the paper.

Up the stairs to wake Rock.

Back downstairs to nag HardPlace
to get moving.


Down the steps to see HardPlace
out the front door.



All the way back upstairs
to get myself dressed.

Back down to make sure Rock has breakfast
and to get fresh coffee!


Upstairs to grab a load of laundry and
make sure Rock is brushing his teeth.


All the way down to put on the laundry

and close the garage door
after Rock bikes away.

Back up to finish my coffee
and get the day going.













Who needs a Stairmaster?

  2. Actually, Barbara, I'm getting them back!

    When I left here and moved to Arizona, I promptly gained 20 pounds, which I attribute to not uusing stairs anymore. Obviously, the up-and-down that I recounted here is just a fraction of the up-and-down that I do every day. When I moved back -- I promptly lost 20 pounds.

  4. Wow ... I'm exhausted just imagining you up and down the stairs!

    Very insightful!

  5. Sounds like my mornings - I have three flights of stairs and one sleepy almost-teen who has to be woken repeatedly before she actually gets up!
