#15 - Don't Like Drinkin' Alone

Morning Coffee

​I miss having coffee with Don in the morning. He's probably allowed to have it, but it just hasn't appeal to him since surgery.

We enjoyed a lot of coffee mornings during Covid lockdowns, in 2020. Picking our mugs was a big event! But Don's enjoying tea these days. We're kind of getting in the habit of afternoon tea. I like that.

Happy Hours

A lot of people developed new drinking habits during 2020. Evening Happy Hour is not a new thing for Don and me. Luckily our pandemic isolation didn't force us to add more drinks, just more props and decor. 

Mostly I just miss having a glass of wine before dinner. Since Don retired, we both have pretty much done our own thing during the day. "Happy Hour" before dinner, has become our catching up time. We sit down and share what we learned or read or did, during the day. Sometimes I'll hear something curious in the day... but I'll save the story for Happy Hour. 

New Kind of Happy Hour

Don and I are pretty much with each other 24 hours a day, now. So it's hard to report on much new. But we're continuing our Happy Hour Habit, minus wine or cocktails. Again, I don't even know what the rules are with drinking, after heart surgery. We didn't ask because it's not on the forefront of our brains. Don's too focused on healing to be thinking about beer or booze. He's encouraged me to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, but that's no fun by myself.

But, we're enjoying the part we like best... the visiting part. We've got  sparkling water and juice options and lots of glasses. Some of these beverage combos are comical and not so great, but I'm glad to sit and sip,  with no TV and maybe some soft music. We don't talk lots, but we make a toast to the day's accomplishments! We'll celebrate with some champagne one day. But no hurry.
