What is the life of a senior like....

in senior •  6 years ago 

I am a young 64 slim woman and my best friend is my sister at a young 62. We are seen around our town. My day begins at 4:10 AM getting ready for work. I still work downtown Vancouver which is a 55 minute commute by Westcoast Express a 3 tier train extremely comfy and my imagination soars and I call it the ORIENT EXRESS (lol). I feed my kitty Tobias and nab my coffee and get ready. I catch the 5:44 first train out and the first train back home arriving at the condo around 10 to 5 PM. I end up feeding kitty first and then making our lunches for next day and sis is in charge of the dinners when she arrives on the 3rd train, approximately an hour later. Once we eat, and now the days are bright, we go for a walk around town, and sometimes end up at a drinking hole for a cool one or a vino. Our week days are busy but we try to make them fun. I end up reading a book and watching HGTV. I am inspired to change my life and so is sis by relocating us all to Mexico in the next 6 months being our goal.

This weekend was a long weekend and we spent it walking, doing errands and entertaining some friends. We were drinking champagne and I did enjoy a light beer. We spent our evenings sitting on our balcony with a glass of champagne (champagne and caviar dreams are real).

We have cars but rather walk to the library and get those steps in. I encourage everyone to do the same. Park your car as gas is high and walk if possible a little a day as that makes all the difference in mobility and strength, never mind the exercise. :)
