Diversion

What did people do who got cancer

before the iPad was invented?

Besides phone calls and visits,

playing games on the iPad

is about the only thing that interests me.

I waste way too much time on it.

The days whiz by and I’ve spent most of my time playing

Free Cell, Pinochle, WordChums, Brain Yoga,

Yazy, Pyramid, Nonogram, Sudoku. Whirly Word.

I don’t use my smart phone much

except to carry around  to look smart.

I check the computer each night before I go to bed

and write in my journal.

What did Mama do to occupy her time

when she didn’t feel like doing anything?

I have to force myself,

but exercise also makes me feel better -

swimming, stretches, short walks (with a cane), 

riding my adult recumbent trike.
