Bloggin at 5AM

It's late in the morning since I woke up at 2:30.  Once in a while I will wake up and lie in bed for an hour or so before I fall back asleep.  If it goes on much further than that I get up for a while and then go back to bed when I get sleepy.  It may be part of an unstated and unplanned strategy that Brooke and I have fallen into, where we give each other the floor, as it were.  We try to avoid being in the same place at the same time.  It just works better that way.  I'm sure it happens with a lot of couples.  I mentioned it to one of Brooke's cronies when she was visiting and she remarked it's like room mates.
 It's working for us right now.

I'm following college basketball.  The big ten is still up in the air with a lot of good teams.  Indiana beat MSU in East Lansing last week and last night Indiana went to lowly Minnesota and lost to the Golden Gophers.  One of my favorite team names.
Michigan has both MSU and Indiana to play, both at Ann Arbor.  It's fun to follow.  It gives me something to do this time of year.

I am engaged in home improvement, also.  I am painting the side bedroom.  The ceiling is being prepped and tools assembled.  Wallpaper must be removed and repairs made.  I may put in Wainscoating.  I'm sure there will be a couple of very hard days involved before it is completed.

We are members of Planet Fitness now.  That is working out well so far.  It makes one feel good to walk on the treadmill or elliptical for a while.  

That's all the boring stuff for now. The really exciting stuff will have to wait 'til next time.
