I accomplished everything I hoped to today.

Now it's 6:20 pm and I'm going to bed. What has my life become? Most days I look forward to two things: coffee and bedtime.

On another forum, someone asked if older "free spirits" regretted their choices. Yes, I kind of wish I'd thought/known about a career, saving for retirement, etc. It's hard to enjoy your freedom when you're 70 and poor.

It's worse when you add "when you're 70 and in poor health." Keep exercising. Remember I covet your balcony.

I am in the exact same boat as you, just a different country. I do not dwell on it now just try to live each day the best I can. Plus I was also a stay at home mom which I wouldn't recommend to anyone now. Thinking ahead to their retirement is important. I did not because I was married (and that was not something to depend on).
 
The birdies woke me up at 4:30a rolled over went back to sleep
On my early walk at 6:20 went to local store to buy NYT{ gave up M-F home delivery after 3 yrs- there's a story behind why I dropped it,now get it digitally cost less} temp was 40 slight breeze
I'm going over to Marcia&Dave's house around 8:30 to dog sit -Tage for couple hrs. Marcia is having cataract surgery,our friend, Bill is taking her, she hopes to be home around 11
I laugh every time I see Tage he gets so excited when he sees me starts throwing his rubber bones at me.He always sits on the sofa next to me getting his TLC, then he relaxes,such a sweet, loving dog, this will be the highlight of my day
 
Not sure what I will decide to do today. If it is nice out I would like to get out to the park for a bit. It is such a mood changer to sit in the sunshine. My swelling in my feet and calves due to Lymphedema is improving day by day. As long as I put in the effort to do the self-care needed. I am. Getting outside helps me a lot even if it is just for an hour. Coffee right now.
 
Well it's sunny.. but it's only warm in my sun trap of a garden.. otherwise outside there's a bit of a chill in the air.. 52 deg..



I've got my chores done, and I've got the battery on charge for the mower. It seems like I just mowed the lawns.. but we've had so much rain this last week, they all need doing again.. and I've got weeds in my front garden now.. loads.. sheesh!!

I've also been sorting through my photos and getting rid of many duplicates because it's slowing my computer down.. found so many I'd forgotten about. from 20 years ago...

Not sure if I'll mow the lawns today or leave it until tomorrow.. but there's more rain forecast for this week...

Good morning Everyone!! I was up on time (for a change), and I've just finished doing my PT. Recently, I've discovered new ways to torture my shoulder. Oh, joy!! 🙄 Well, at least it has been helping.

Yesterday was a beautiful day! We went into town and walked at the park. Last week, when we saw Cheleston, she had hurt her leg and could hardly walk. Yesterday, she was getting around pretty good. She had a bit of a limp, but she was much better! She has a boyfriend now, who watches over her!!!

The rain is expected to start today, so I guess I'll see if I can get stuff done inside. But first.....it's coffee time! ☕.

I expect that it will consist of pain, agony, frustration, and torture.....and every second of it is worth it, to get you back to being you!! It's bound to be a long road, I wish you the best! 💗

Right there with ya. :coffee:
 
Beautiful sunny day here again…..wanting to get some sun again today…..feels so good…..the back yard is drying up some…..so maybe get some fetch games in……no yard work yet…..patiently waiting…..or impatiently waiting.

Will go down to the bank and pay my income tax owing, deadline is Monday.

Usual cleaning chores, extra laundry.

I’ll have to contain myself from all the excitement. 😉😊.
 
Yesterday, I did manage the car stops, but not the finishing of the Mod. Course I wanted to do. I didn't get much sleep night before last and it turned me into a bit of a zombie yesterday. It's hard to study in Zombie Mode.

I had a hard time with sleep last night as well, but once I got to sleep I stayed that way and slept late so am feeling better today.

So today, tele-therapy this morning and the rest of the freaking mod course after that! :) 🙃 🏁

EDIT: typo

I do this occasionally as well. I really want to get them all on a few flash drives and then use them as screen savers on a few of the TV and/or Comp. screens. Been a goal for a while... Maybe I'll actually do it one of these days. ;)
