I was at an event one evening when, during some down time, I decided to check my email. In my in box was an invitation to meet some friends for dinner on the way to the event I was already attending. So, I wrote back with my “too late” reply and watched as the recipients laughed together over my delayed response to their invitation.
See, I’m retired. I don’t feel a need to be instantly available 24/7.
As I taught our daughter many years ago at our dinner table, “Just because the phone is ringing, that doesn’t mean we have to answer it. If it’s important, they will call back”
Do you have alerts turned on? Do you feel compelled to answer every email the instant it arrives in your in box? Why? Who do you think should get to decide how you use the minutes in your day?
TTYL,

ps. Weight still mostly going down with an occasional uptick.
I always check the e-mails because I do have the alerts set. But I very seldom respond to them until I get home.
My response is that it depends. I have the alerts. Sometimes I respond and sometimes I don’t.
Congrats on your weight continuing to go down. We won’t even recognize you!!
I don’t even know what an alert is! I often even forget to turn my ‘dumb’ phone on. 🙂
