No more afternoon naps

Sago no longer sleeps in my room during afternoons and that's because I no longer take afternoon naps. I take 2 fish oil capsules at 3:00 p.m. to alleviate headache symptoms then take my prescribed medicines at 4:00 p.m. just in time when their efficacy wears off to avoid overdosage. This way, I won't feel so groggy upon waking up and be more productive during day time. 

Lately, Sago only goes upstairs after we walk so she could groom herself at the balcony. She expects me to open the door for her. Once the door is opened, I leave her alone at the balcony while I get my cigarettes, tumbler of cold water or leftover coffee and cellphone. This is our daily routine in case it's not raining. If there is a downpour, Sago prefers to stay indoors and waits for the sun to shine. On rainy days, it's difficult for me to make her walk outside but we have to, to ensure her bowel movement is regular. 

The bed I bought for Sago is no longer in use. I think I'll bring it downstairs and place it behind my brother's bed where she stays if she does not want to be disturbed.

In the meantime if there are no leftover meats during dinner, Sago and I have sunny side up/scrambled eggs and mackerel/sardines in natural oil dashed with garlic chives and chopped onions.

My energies are directed towards doing house chores and taking care of Sago that I am early retiring from work. I have not heard from my employer and it's been months already. Honestly, I'm managing my expectations but I no longer look for a job. However, I am not complaining that I'm bored because I'm busy with house work and Sago. I just need to reframe my mind that this is inescapable and what I'm doing is a labor of love. Besides I can always learn something new by reading and watching YouTube videos and Netflix.
