Adapting Summer Routines

Longer days and shorter nights can disrupt routines. Have you noticed any changes in your sleep or energy levels and how do you cope with that? I really can't say that I notice a big difference. Of course, I notice, as I say, I'm an early riser, obviously I notice that it's beginning to be light when I wake up rather than that it's dark out and it's always better to start the day in the light than in the darkness. You know I look I love I'm much more likely to see the sunrise than to see the sunset and again traveling if you're if you're at a beach or something like that you know there's just no better way to start the day than to see the sunrise over the ocean and it does give you energy and it does think well you know what I might as well take a walk along here you know that kind of thing. Excellent okay thank you very much and what changes do you notice in your food choices of physical activity in the summer and are there particular things you do differently in the summer to stay well? I think, I think I tend to eat lighter in the summer. You know, the heavy foods just are not as appealing. You want something crisp and cold and light. And I think it's so it's, I think it's easier and as well being more active, it's easier to maintain your weight and your health. I think I lost you. Did I lose you? I lost you for a minute there. You are on mute. Sorry. Yes, Barbara, I'm sorry, but I have been able to hear you perfectly well. I apologize. I was on mute. My fault. My fault. Okay, excellent. Now, as we know, summer can can also be a social season, you know, with events, food and more spontaneity. Do these situations bring challenges for you? And if they do, how do you navigate them? Well, it's certainly more challenging because I have to be concerned with my husband and his needs. And that's, that's a kind of a priority. So it makes me treasure the times that I can have a mini break of some kind even more. And it takes it takes a lot of planning and cooperation from various people to do that. But in some ways, that makes, you know, makes it more, more meaningful when you're there. And I don't, you know, I don't want to do anything exciting I just want to be away and you know not feel the same responsibilities that I feel when I'm home.
