FCM: glad to hear you’re getting some peace while MIL sleeps out most of her remaining days.
My late wife became like that a couple months before she died. More like a cat than a human: sleep was now her normal state whereas wakefulness was occasional and just for an hour or at most 2 at a time. Sad to watch, but it is an opportunity to get things done undisturbed. Whether they are practical things or fun things or just stress-relieving things like solo chair-with-book time.
You’ll also notice if you haven’t already that they sleep soundly enough that doing noisy things like rollsucking is not the intrusion on their rest you might expect it would be for a healthy person.
Ahh, I get it. Thank you.
I sometimes have my main meal between noon and two while planning a light snack for the evening. I find I’m doing this more and more as I settle into unmarried retirement. At least on the days I’m not socializing w somebody. But I still call the noon-ish meal “lunch” and the evening one “dinner” regardless of which is big or small.
I suspect that’s sorta like the traditional Southern (or at least rural) distinction between “dinner” and “supper”. Which are exact synonyms in my dialect for “evening meal regardless of size”.
Too many mushrooms and too many carrots is just barely enough. As long as there’s a matching quantity of too many onions. 
:neener: :neener: 
Ouch. The only thing worse than landscape maintenance noise is landscape maintenance noise during your sleep hours. I’m sorry they’re vexing you.
I struggled with similar for ~2-5 days per month most of my working years. Ugh.
We had a different noise problem for awhile. At the St. Louis lake house I lived on a cul-de-sac. Ginormous 1/3rd - 1/2 acre lots with plenty of fast-growing grass. Nobody mowed their own; everybody had a service. But each had a different service. So 4 mornings a week one of my immediate neighbors had one or two ride-on mowers careening around their property for an hour starting bright and early. Followed by leaf blowers for another hour. My own service made neighborhood-filling noise on a fifth day. Holy mow-ly Batman; that’s too much noise!
I tried to organize a neighborhood coalition where we’d all agree to get it done on one day and so have six days of blessed morning silence per week instead of just two. We all got along well, but it was too hard to get the services to converge on a single date they could stick to. Sigh.
Don’t feel bad Shoe; I was baffled too. I got stuck on “bagels and ???” with no idea what ??? could be. “Gefilte fish” popped to mind, but I’d never heard of anyone eating bagels and gefilte fish. Although I’m goy so that might in fact be something common.
But biscuits and gravy is 
obvious once Cookie enlightened us both.
Yaay for MIL nap and for chillage!
And double yaays for Roxy-made baking. Fun and useful.
As to me:
My pal met me at the club, had a quick snack, then we wandered to the gate, boarded easily and on time, pushed back a few minutes early, and had quick taxi. So will be early to Panamá. Yaay and praise be to the travel gods. So far.
My pal got home from a 3-day trip at 2am this morning, so he’s pretty fried right now. He’s probably sleeping as I’m typing. We’re now past Cuba and out over the middle of the southern Gulf of Mexico someplace. Probably offshore southern Mexico aways south of Cancun.
We’re planning on tonight here: Dreams Playa Bonita Panama - Hyatt. It’s a beachfront Hyatt all-inclusive. He’s got super status with Hyatt so we both get nice rooms, VIP club access, etc., for relatively little cost. Neither of us are big fans of all-inclusives, but they are very simple low-stress ways to stay. So that’ll make the remainder of today be a day of rest, relaxation, good meals on-campus, and planning for our three full days here. We’ll probably move to a different hotel for those subsequent 3 nights as the Hyatt is a bit out in the far exburbs bordering on rural and we, or at least I, was expecting a rather more urban-focused trip.
We both under-planned this trip and will be ad libbing even more than usual. Should be fun even if not especially time-efficient.
