How are you today?

A friend invited a group of us to brunch for her birthday. IHOP has a value menu and a meeting room that easily accomodated 18. Her daughter and husband footed the bill as their gift to her. It was a joy since I get out so seldom and we vow to do it again soon and pay our own way.

t has been so long because this friend had a bad fall several months ago and had to curtail her numerous selfless activities. We were asked to each bring something for the food pantry. She wont give her age but we think it might be 85.

Good morning. We haven't had any rain (and none expected) so our pollen count is probably higher today than yesterday :(.

Maybe today the rest of the mulch will get spread.

It's national Chocolate Covered Raisin Day.

I remember getting hooked on those as a child. Although we lived in a small town, a movie theater was within walking distance. 35¢ for a Saturday matinee. If the three kids in the middle of the pack (of which I was one) were skint, Mom treated for the ticket and a little candy. (I now realize it was a small price to pay for a few hours of peace in the house.)

Went every Saturday I could and always had enough pocket money to buy a box of chocolate covered raisins. 😋

Thanks for pulling on that happy memory cord.
 
I'm still alive😆 the walls are so thin here so I knew my neighbor would hear me. I talked with my kinda soft voice. Put my mouth by the wall and told him I couldn't sleep with the noise he'd been making at all times of the day.

I know he heard me because he stopped making lots of noise. I am still shaking from him. I pray he doesn't start up again That was 3' days ago. Would all who pray please do it for my health and safety.

I really live in a crazy place. I'll be so happy to move!!

I pigged out for a few days. I'm going back to my careful eating plans. I've lost some weight already for eating better this month.

Well it's time for The Price is Right.

God bless.
 
@StarSong I loved them too and would eat them until my mouth was sore.

I think I've got a line on a new job. A pollen counter! It's measured by how much pollen per cubic meter. That would take a long, long time, and if paid by the hour...LOL...I'd probably have to work at night in order to have it all counted by morning. Oh. Never mind. I don't do numbers. I can count, but when they got too high, I'd probably lose track.

Hopefully your neighbour heard you, didn't realise how much noise he was making and is making an effort not to disturb you again. 🙏

What is causing all that pain? What supplements can help pain? I'm in pain much of the time too. Naproxen doesn't do much for me.

My joints are hurting from gluten detox. Says it can take several weeks to start feeling better. They said B12, iron, calcium and D are generally lacking and would help alleviate some of the pain.

Not sure if it helps with pain in general.

*edited to add info...
I also might take a joint care supplement briefly to see if that will help.

Good morning :)

Apparently today is going to be a little blustery with light rain. I have an appointment this afternoon which isn't too far away and shouldn't take too long.

Yesterday, I finished shortening the summer dresses which were just a tad too long.

Tomorrow or Friday, we might be finishing off the revamp of the garden. Saturday is, apparently, looking like the best weather day so, it might have to wait until then.

I seem to have been relatively busy recently so, I am hoping for some nice weather and a couple of lazy days in the next week or so. 🤞 I thought retirement was supposed to be easy ;):)
 
I just got out of an overnight sleep study at a sleep lab.

Sleep? Ha!

Bed like a slab of concrete. Wired up like the Bride of Frankenstein. No way to find a comfortable position.

I guess I slept some but not much.

Now, I have to get in a hot shower and let the hot water run over my head for five minutes before I try to shampoo the glue out of my hair from the electrodes on my scalp. I had a test back in '09, but didn't get the head doo-hinkies.

Then, I'm going to take a nap....a real one...a long one.
 
Yesterday was not one I liked much. The strong dizziness has come back.
I began the head/eye exercises that helped me last time before it advances
to the falling backwards when getting out of bed.
I guess I had some crystal fall off of those balance sensors again and
heading for my ear canal. May take a few days to get balance back.
 
Today I'm good. It's 9 and I just got back from a 3 mile run/walk. Happy to be vertical, as always.

I have 9 holes of golf this afternoon with friends, which is usually a lot of fun. Nothing else scheduled, except that dinner is my responsibility tonight. I'm thinking fish.
 
Morning gang !!!! Most of me is
here, think part of the brain is missing,
but thats not new these days,,,,,I see the old fool that lives here has
let the dishes pile up again, dang it all....sorta achy but not terrible...Irisheyes
sorry you got the dizzies, been there and don't want to visit that place again..
I saw a durned possum take the medicated hot dog instead of the fox, grrrrrr.
so have to rethink that business...Have a toilet acting up, and I hate to tell
the landlord, cause he hates Plumbing costs, but I hate high water bills!
So have a great day if you can!!!!;):love::cool::devilish:
 
No joy in Mudville.

Friday I have pre-op consult with my former cardiologist in Brooklyn. Two neighborhoods from where I live. I know I’d rather go home afterwards. But to what? I can’t escape from my health problems no matter how much I try to wish them away. So I guess I’ll be going back to the rehab afterwards. I know my heart will break being so close to my real home.

There is talk about me not having surgery on Monday. I hope it’s not true. This time it must happen. It must! It must be successful for me not to lose my leg.

Can’t stand the thought of The Mighty Pepper striking out.

Hard day. Overwhelmingly sad.

I tried to play golf once. Lost a hot pink ball. You wouldn't think that would be possible. LOL

So sorry. Sounds awful. I hope to avoid that.
