Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Always closed since the night I got up in the dark and walked right into an open door leaving myself with a badly bumped forehead. As you can see in the photo- if that door is open there is no avoiding it when getting up.
Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
Who doesn’t? Those little travel sizes are hard to resist. The last place we stayed in had a sign that we should take them.
What is your usual bedtime?
I try to get to bed early most nights- between 9:30 and 10:00pm, as I get up at 5:30. Sometimes I do get too absorbed in some show I am watching and before I know it it’s 11:30.
Do you like to use post-it notes?
I LOVE to use post it notes in school. They are great to grab and stick to something as a reminder, a child’s homework, copies that I need to make. I love all the colors they come in too.

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
August. I write to my nieces all summer while they are away in sleep away camp. There is nothing like getting mail in camp. And then receiving mail back.
Any phobias?
I wouldn’t say actual phobias, but I can’t stand the sight of bugs, I do not like heights, I hate going in elevators and avoid them whenever I can.
How tall are you?
5 feet 2 inches. I have been this height since the age of 12. Tallest in my class in 6th grade, and then ended up one of the shortest as time went on.
1970
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Grateful the cough and congestion I had for close to 5 weeks finally took leave. Grateful everyday to be here.

I just read your Cee’s share and was surprised to see we are about the same height- you give a much taller impression in your photos Marilyn! I actually like being short!

The shampoos and soaps….. that is because if they aren’t used they have to throw them out. Kind of like food you don’t eat at a restaurant. It has to be thrown out.

I am glad you are feeling better. My husband and I both have a cold right now. The cough is out of this world. I like that you write letters to your nieces during the summer time. That is so you š

I drank hot water with cinnamon, ginger and turmeric and gargled with apple cider vinegar which helped somewhat. At night it was Delsym cough medicine all the way. Feel better- I feel for you it is so unpleasant

I had a terrible night. I woke up every hour from coughing, this is on my nerves. My husband does the same. I have to try Delsym, thank you.

Putting my head with a towel over a bowl of steaming water helped too, and Halls cough drops. I also slept propped up on 2 pillows almost sitting up too. After 3 weeks I went on antibiotics and that killed it off.

Working around 1st graders all day made it very difficult to get better!
