I have always been a good eater.
Unless I’m sick, I have a good appetite, but it takes only eating a little for to satisfy me.
As I got older and less active my appetite decreased.
I was satisfied after eating less food
While we are watching TV (CNN news before going to bed) my helper offers me some food which I refuse (overeating makes me nauseous and sometimes I feel like throwing up).
She is well meaning, I thank her and refuse it, graciously thanking her.
As we grow older and less active we eat less.
We sleep more.
It’s normal.
***
It’s almost 7:15 p.m. Almost my bedtime.
I’m going to watch CNN on TV and hit the sack … “good night.”

Tonight, tired (old age).
I will skip dinner.
I (for an unknown reason) have no appetite after watching CNN news and will go to bed. …
P.S. Pleasant dreams, sweet Betty. I think of you often …
P.P.S. Maybe I will have tomato or pea soup for lunch if Chorito serves it. I like either.
