More Questions from Steph
1) Are you the sort of person who can nap or sleep anywhere, any time? I suppose. I have an easier time falling asleep now than I ever have in my life. I think I'm finally (after three years) getting the hang of of retirement.
2) Have you ever walked in your sleep? I was quite the sleepwalker when I was a little girl. I was good at unlocking doors while sound asleep. My mom was completely freaked out about this and dragged me to the family doctor, a man she trusted implicitly. He didn't recommend counseling or a change in diet. He prescribed phenobarbital. Yes, a barbiturate for a seven year old! I don't blame my mom – she was doing the best she could with the information she had. But there I was, a second grader, on my way to The Valley of the Dolls.

3) Do you chat with your Uber/Lyft/taxi driver? Yes. I find it awkward to ride in silence.
4) Do you remember what you did on Valentine's Day? Not specifically. But I know it wasn't romantic.
5) How many laptops have you owned over your lifetime? 5 or 6 (<< estimate).
6) How many countries have you visited? 5 (Canada, France, Lichtenstein, Germany, Switzerland)
7) Did you/will you go to work today? Nope. I only work on Thursdays and sometimes Mondays.
oh my goodness! That doctor was crazy, wasn't he?
ReplyDeleteI git the hang of retirement immediately. I've been retired 18 months.

I've never seen or read Valley of the Dolls but I know the basic premise. Your doc was a menace!
ReplyDelete#2 is shocking! Liechtenstein is one of my 18.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a heavy drug for a kid. You could still be hooked.
ReplyDeleteWhen my youngest was five, a doctor prescribed an antidepressant for him. No way. He just didn't like his school teacher! I personally think that many doctors are way too quick to pull out the prescription pad and we have become a nation of pill-poppers. I hope you have a good week!
