Today I Accomplished

My accomplish are very small throughout the daytime Senior and retired, I have to remember to make sure I don’t forget to take my pills Memory is short and cannot focus Seven fifteen in the morning comes around very quickly, especially when I go to bed so late, then I toss and turn because my body aches. My Yorkie makes sure I’m up, he jumps up on the bed and lies by my side until I’m up; he patiently waits to be fed. Get up; wash my face to wake up, then into the rooms to fix the beds Into the kitchen and fix my Yorkies food, take my vitamins for the energy I need, I put on my shoes on rain or shine to walk my Yorkie up and down the road, come back home and take my medicine After all is done Behind the computer and see what is up with Poetry Soup and Facebook, my way in staying touch with all my friends and the world. At nine I’m back in the kitchen fixing breakfast, so my husband can take his medicine with food Clean up the kitchen after we’re done I’m off for a ten o’clock appointment with my neurologist, to brainstorm what’s going on in my brain.The outcome is, data is not being processed and stored in its files. My computer is running down and it’s caused by old age Back home and start all over again Behind the computer and see what is up with Poetry Soup and Facebook At one o’clock I’m back in the kitchen fixing lunch, then clean up the kitchen once more after we’re done Call my eight- three year old mother to make sure she’s getting along ok Trim the hedge and clean up the mess so it won’t block my view when I look out the window Into the shower because I’m all dirty, wet, and sticks Behind the computer and see what is up with Poetry Soup and Facebook At four I'm back in the kitchen to fix supper then clean up the kitchen once more By midnight, I finally make it to bed After composing a list of my daily chores I realize I didn’t have a life When I’m asked, “What did you do today? The story I tell is, “Same old, same old.” 5/15/2015
