Reflections of My Life

Kat Merry Christmas.. 🎄 🎄 ... wouldn't it just be wise to buy the bed using the credit card and put whatever money you would have saved back on the card ?... Your body might be beyond the saving grace of a good bed if you wait another 6 months... take it from someone who suffers from lower back problems.

I think I have to think about it. I can charge it at the local furniture store with no interest for 60 months. I have used them twice before and what I like about them is they deliver it to my apartment and set it up for me. But I would have to see if they even sell adjustable beds. I think I really need one not just that I want one. I need to elevate my legs as much as I can.
 

I had shaved beef with cheese for supper tonight. It is quick and I like it. I didn't want anything that took very long to prepare. I made Keto Chow shakes for the freezer to have for ice cream this week. So I was in the kitchen awhile this afternoon. That was after breakfast. Now I have to go wash the supper dishes........dish, supper dish. I only used one and a fork. The advantage of the single life! Simple meals and very few dishes to wash.

:) If they don't stock what you want, I bet they can order it for you.
 

L3WG has done a few more YT videos while he was in NYC. Two were just about the food. Of course, he tries everything his subscribers have told him to and is enjoying our food here. This one is just walking the city and wait till you see near the end them trying to make their way over a icy bridge and everyone having to hold on to keep balance.

I had thought about suggesting that exact type of purchase, to you.

It's much, much better than using any type of credit card.
Buying from a store that allows payments over time, for either no interest, or a set amount added to the total final cost. One that is determined when you buy it.

Unlike credit cards, which not only have very high interest charges, but also compound it, based on previous balances, even after you've paid it down.

And if your health needs it ( which sounds likely) and if you will be able to make the payments, seems like a path to go.

Also good to use a place that you used in the past. So you know there's no surprises.
If they don't stock an adjustable one perhaps they could order one.

should of had somebody to set up mine. it was a pain.but once it was set up it was easy to move around. I elevate my legs because of hip pain.
 
I have needed to order groceries but didn't dare because of the snowstorm. I hate to be guessing if it will come or not. Or when it will come. So I was down to my last 4 coffee pods. I ordered it too late to get here from Amazon. It is scheduled to be delivered today (Sunday!) and sometimes deliveries do not arrive on Saturday or Sunday. So I was going to order more coffee with the grocery order and I forgot. Now it is too late to add it to the order. So I will just wait and see what happens.
 
I wonder why I always drop something at least 3-5 times a day? Even if it is something light like a tissue.

I also wonder why nobody ever comes to my door unless I am as far away from the door as I can get? Without the walker? Granted I have a very small studio apartment but it takes me some time to walk to the door.

I wonder why if I ever decide to take a nap (which I normally never do) my phone will ring or someone will knock on my door? As soon as I fall asleep, of course. The only time I attempt to take one is if I didn't get enough sleep the night before.

If I drop a supplement capsule on the floor when I look for it.........no where to be seen! Later I come back to the kitchen and there it is in plain sight!! In the middle of the floor!

I keep wondering if God is playing tricks on me so I will just shut up and stop complaining about feeling old.

Even if it's instant
And make it snappy
~Amen

Boy I hear ya on droppin stuff, I have the klutzies
all day it seems now, dang it all !!!
 
I placed another grocery order last night that will be delivered this morning. Between 9 and 11. My Amazon order said it was at my post office but was not delivered............I am down to ONE coffee pod!!!! 😭 My fault ordering it too late to get here on time. Week-end days are not a good day for deliveries. Anyway this month I will be stocking up on all the products I use regularly. Not going to be running out since we are headed into the serious winter weather time. January & February. So I ordered 2 boxes of coffee pods and a 8 pk. of Zevia. Had to order $35. worth to get the free delivery from the grocery store.

I sent a message to the local furniture store to ask about their adjustable bed frame. If they deliver it and bring it up to my apartment and set it up for me I will buy it. After I get that I am going to order the mattress from Amazon because that comes in a box (turns out that is the way the furniture store now delivers their mattresses for $99.) and shipping is free (Prime). I can get that box up to my apartment with Jeff's help.

Sonny went to the emergency room yesterday because his ears are driving him crazy. He has eczema inside both ears. He has been to his primary doctor, the walk in and the emergency room with no help from anyone. The primary doctor sent him to a dermatologist but the quickest appointment he could get is in June. The ER doctor was quite rude to him and asked him what he wanted him to do about it?????????

I found some remedies that he could try and also some over the counter creams he can buy at Walmart. That is about what you have to do these days. The medical doctors don't know how to cure anything and that is what he needs. He puts his faith in them anyway and then gets mad at them.

A very few drops of baby oil, or something similar, in each ear might provide some relief.

all those things aside from the walking to the door situ... happens to me... and I question it just like you...

You can guarantee that when someone I'm not expecting knocks the door, that's when I'm on the loo...


The phone rings so often when I'm asleep..I unplug the landline now and swtich off the iphone ... I even have to unplug Alexa, cus sure as eggs are eggs it'll make an announcement about something as soon as I drop off to sleep..

I drop stuff so often these days..just as you describe, I put it down to the OA in my fingers, and maybe I;m not gripping things enough but I don't think that really is the cause.. and you're absolutely right about dropping something, not finding it after a search, and it appearing right in your eye view, later...like some poltergeist is playing tricks !


What is even stranger to me now.. is how is this happening to other people as well as me.. :unsure:

At least I don't feel so alone now! Maybe it is just normal. :)

I’m forever dropping my pills. My hands shake a bit and at first I have to get ahold of it and by the time I get it to my mouth, it shoots like a rocket never to be found again. 🚀

yes but you've got a solid reason Pappy, for dropping thing, because your hands shake.... mine don't..I'm not sure Kat's does either... it's all very odd...

I will just be holding a paper napkin, or lud, or tea-towel, and it just drops out of my hand ... sometimes it happens several times a day ...very frustrating

Exactly the same thing happens to me Holly. My hands don't shake or hurt, just drop things randomly. Not all the time and not particularly heavy items. I make sure to keep my hands over the counter in the kitchen so I don't have to bend down to pick it up. Maybe it is good for me to have to bend down and pick things up. :rolleyes:
 
We have gotten a lot of snow. I don't know how much because it is dark out but it is a lot. The snow removal has been going on since about 3 this morning. Somebody came with a big chunky looking snowblower and a snow shovel and cleaned off the stairs and ramp to the building. I don't know if it was someone paid by our building management or a compassionate person who felt sorry for us.

One thing I do miss about living at my house in the country was that we never lost our power. If there was no sun, there was usually wind. And of course, we always had gasoline for the generator. But it was great never having to worry about that. And our wood stoves never stopped working either. The propane stove did not use any electric so it worked whenever we needed it. Now here.........nothing to make you feel secure. No matter how much the electric company demands you have to pay it somehow or other.
