2427

Saturday with no dancing--but did get to the gym. Turned out the ex arrived today to sit with the grandkid--and that situation dictated what the day became. In fact, I'm getting ready to become the caretaker as the kid goes to bed--so the ex can get back home. It's my bedtime too--but that will have to wait until the kid's mother gets home.

I ate a huge lunch--and that helped push me out of the fog I seemed to be in when I awoke. That and an afternoon latte plus a warm muffin--helped me weather the afternoon without getting a nap.  I feel pretty steady right now--but I have to weather the next three hours.

Getting the grandkid to bed is a challenge--her mother has been trying to establish a regime that breaks up some of the habits she has established that are not conducive to her getting enough rest, sleep, and so forth. I have not been part of that effort except occasionally (like tonight)--so it's challenging for me to step in and get her to do what is needed to maintain her program.

The gym helped me bridge the gap produced with having no dancing today--I'll make sure and get there again tomorrow and Monday. Have to keep moving--the only way to go!
