Hey, how's it going today for you? It's 2023. An alternate thread for different people.

The cake sounds wonderful Blessed but the fall is very scary. I’m glad you were able to pull yourself up. I hope you don’t have any bruises or sore spots. It’s too bad we aren’t close enough to run over and help each other up when we hear a ‘big wham’. You take care. 🤗

I am fine, I do have a sore area on my left rib cage. If it does not feel better by the end of the week, I will have the doc check it.

Yep, that was the worst part, thinking how am I going to get up LOL
 

@Kaila, no I have not yet talked to the doctor. I have been more careful about making sure I take it with food. As bad as it sounds, this is the first med I have been given that has relieved my migraines, neck, shoulder and arm pain in ten years. I do not want to give up on something that is finally helping.
 
Taking the dog to the groomer today. Going to bundle us up because it's very cold today.

Did some grocery shopping yesterday and am glad to have all the food I like. Got some kiwis which I haven't had in ages.

Going to be waiting for my doctor to call me about my CT scan results. I know he's going to be referring me to a few doctors.

That's wonderful you got relief with the medicine. Can I ask the name of the med? I'm always looking for something that relieves pain when I have it.

It is called zanaflex, a muscle relaxer. I had never heard of it until the orthopedist gave it to me. I had already tried flexaril and bacoflen without any releif.

Thanks. I'll ask my doctor for it. I get plenty of muscle pain. I've been getting Robaxin and don't like it.
 
I've been apologising a lot today. Nothing new there lol!

Sorry about the all CAPS for the title regarding Flybe troubles. I wanted it to stand out as it affects loads of people, my bad.

I've rejoined Letterboxd App to give reviews on films we watched.

Thankfully, February is short. Hopefully, it'll fly by sooner rather than later but hey it's still 28 days.

Now, a little opinion for today. Youngsters were getting married between 18-25 during the 80s and it was considered fine. Nowadays, many are marrying in their 30s and have to rush turning their couple-life into a family quickly, and that's taxing.

Daughter is single and in her 30s. She simply wants what me and hubby, her parents had, a loving relationship with a happy marriage and children. Myself, as I've just beginning to accept that I'm single, I still want to give time to heal, so a year.

This is another thing I would normally have done, written all my boring bits and pieces on my blog. Lucky yous, you get to read it here. I'm looking forward from today, the last day of January, to warmer days and nights plus the natural lights staying on longer. I'm very much looking forward to Spring.

Well, there you go, that were my thoughts for today. I'm hoping it's okay. Goodnight, I'm exhausted...😴

I didn't find your post boring at all. It gave me much to think about. I too am looking forward to warmer weather.

Adjusting to being single is not easy for everyone. In fact I don't know anyone who it was easy for. I've been single a long while but at times wish I wasn't.

Wonder if that would make life easier or better. My last relationships were awful. I don't ever want to go through that nonsense again. I wouldn't allow myself to again. Sorry about that that. I just went off on a rant.

Be yourself and that's the best we can all do.

I too, am glad you posted, your entire post here, and your recent one in the other thread as well. (Which I did read, as did many others, I see, even though you sort of hid it there, and thought we might not. ☺️)

Thank you for sharing your story and your journey. It helps us all along, with the steps we are each trying to take, whatever they are. My heart goes out to you, for your losses, and also, as you look for additional ways to take your next steps. Welcome.

I quoted this line from your post, mostly just to say, Welcome. :)

It also reminds me to notice today, and to look forward. I have been wallowing a bit, myself, while I struggle along with my challenges.
And while the tulip and daffodil and allium bulbs
all sleep for the moment, under the blanket of snow, protecting them from the current deep freeze, until it is their time to sprout up into our thankful view.
 
Icy cold and sleet....Dallas area on a lock down!!!

No need to apologize. I like your post because I learn a little about you that way. You were talking about when people got married it was even earlier than 18 a couple of generations back when most people grew up on farms. They needed each other to make a life and get the work done back then. The way things are trending now it seems like marriage could become a thing of the past. I hope not.

You might be Agoraphobic (extreme anxiety) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia

There's plenty of natural herbal medicine for this condition. Breath exercise and yoga or T'ai Chi would benefit you enormously. Remember one foot in front of the other, breathe, relax and enjoy. Blessed be dear @Pepper

Looked and saw the Ice build up on our 2nd car which stays outside.
Suppose to warm up so I'll just let nature take care of it.
Winters in Tennessee, we deal mainly with ice.
(not sure why we kept the second car, no need, neither one of us work. Habit, I suppose...)

It's that time of year for icy sidewalks and streets. Just be very careful walking out there. I believe they have something you can put on shoes to prevent falls. Amazon probably has something. They have everything.

I don't see anything wrong with having a second car. My father always did. It can be good in times of emergencies too.

I appreciate this thread, due to the fact that most people say I'm different. The artist that did this piece for me is letting me take her to lunch today. She is so cool! She lives in an earth ship that she and her husband built together, then divorced. Last time we were together, went for a long drive to Bosque del Apache to view the snow geese and sandhill cranes. Can't wait to talk about our next project!

I appreciate you all, for your likes!!!! Thank you for letting me share my life with you.

I'm different too in my own ways and I'm glad you posted here. I like the piece you posted, it's very nice. I am a person who appreciates artwork too and have done my own artwork too.

I bet those geese and cranes were fun to be with! That's something that I'd enjoy also❤️. I hope you have a good time today!
 
On the point of getting married, I was almost 23 and Mrs. L was just before her 20th. birthday. Looking back, it was almost frighteningly young although we had been together for 4 years. At least we had bought a new-build 3 bed semi and both had jobs.
That was 50 years ago in 1973, so it's our Golden wedding anniversary in September. Must think of somewhere nice to go.

In contrast, none of our children have married and only our youngest is in a long term relationship.

Just took a german chocolate cake out of the oven. Doing another cook up for the week or several days. Took some ham out of the freezer, making some homemade mac and cheese. Have not decided on anything else at this point. I just try to cook when I feel up to being in the kitchen.

We are expecting some freezing rain so I will not be going out for a few days. Still adapting to new meds, had a fall saturday face first in the hall on the wood floor. Just got dizzy, next thing I know my legs just gave out. I must looked like a circus clown, waving my arms, trying to get my balance. LOL
I was immediately covered in dogs licking my face, arms and feet. I guess it scared them when they heard the big wham. They were ever so gentle until I could roll over and crawl to the bathroom vanity to pull myself up.

So sorry you fell. Please see the doc! 🌹
