I cook all my food if I am home. I don't trust restaurants on the food quality and ingredients. I bought as much organic as I can. I use olive oil and avocado oil, not seed oil or vegetable oil. I eat whole grain bread, not wheat bread.

I cook similar type of food everyday, but it's always boiled mixed veggie and meat. I use different veggies and alternate between chicken breast and salmon filet every other day. As far as carbs, I eat potatoes, whole grain bread, rolled oats. And I have one boiled egg every morning.

And I take one Centrum Silver, one garlic tablet, one fish oil per day. I take one vitamin D and one vitamin C every other day.

your vit D supplement is likely not doing you any good if you're not taking K2 along with it... you should be taking a Vit D3 & K2 supplement...you need K2, ...and this is the reason why...

While vitamin D3 helps your body absorb more calcium, vitamin K2 helps your body transport it to your bones and teeth rather than letting it sit in your arteries and other soft tissues in your body. This not only helps to promote bone health, but it also helps to keep your heart healthy as well.

10.15pm..over cast but warm and dry....

Got woken up this morning by the surgey calling me with the results of my blood tests..

I'm really feeling the effects now of 5 days one after the other of driving.. and yesterday driving 2 hour round trip.. and walking around for 2 hours.. couldn;t even sit down because the cafe was packed with long queus.. so I was on my feet the whole time unntil I was driving home again...my back is breaking again this mornning..

still, it was a glorious day... and I always enjoy it... I will be putting the photos up today of the stately home I visited ...

I'm very happy I don't have to go anywhere today.. (y)
 
Today a contractor will be back in my NJ town and digging at all the houses along my block to remove and replace our unsafe lead and galvanized potable water supply lines.

It’s been an ongoing project for over a year, initially funded by the infrastructure bill passed by congress and signed into law by a former president, but the funding was terminated to stop waste, fraud and abuse, so we residents must now pay. Water bills are expected to skyrocket.
 
Although it's still warm today, it looks like there might be some rain on the way which is perfect because, I plan to stay at home today and sort/organise the wardrobes. Sounds dull, I know but, I like having a wardrobe sort out and, I always find some things that I have forgotten all about :)

Have a marvellous Monday everyone :)
 
On my early walk at 6:55, temp was 34,wore my yellow reflector vest since it was dark outside as I walked around the building before breakfast, great not to wear my boots.
Marcia asked me last Thurs if I was available to come dog sit,Tage today for a couple hrs. I told her 'Yes', she's picking me up at 10. I know he'll go crazy as he always does whenever he sees me
A perfect way to start my week
 
I'm nervous. I have to do things today, things I don't like. Contacting doctors for a procedure, hoping it will go smoothly. It never does, so I'm nervous.

I never revealed here, except to one person privately, that I had a major nervous breakdown this past Fall. It culminated on Xmas Day. I immediately sought intervention of two mental health professionals and two trusted friends. A medication was found that has helped me tremendously.

So, today is a test. Can I stand the strain of today? Will I just try to forget about arranging for a procedure because it is too much for me mentally? At this point, I am starting to get very panicky. Haven't felt this since before medication found. I hope it will give me courage to do what I have to do for myself, even though I don't want to.

I'll let you know. I am scared. I have anxiety/panic disorder. As I age, it has gotten worse.
 
I'm feeling a bit down, this morning.....

My other forum has depressed me, and now I need to decide if I'm willing to get over it, or leave the group.

I've contacted the owner of the forum (she's a friend), and told her that I'm unhappy. What I didn't tell her was that she is part of the problem. Right now, my decision is to wait and see, but it has really gotten my day off to a bad start.
 
Coffee grounds in my cup. The only reading I have so far is that the pot overflowed but into the tray it sits on. Next? It is Monday!

I need to deal with a lot of meat today. Slice, grind, package, freeze. It is so nice to open a freezer and have choices. Start on the yard. It is a bit early but there is so much to be done.

Mumsy was particularly unpleasant during our call yesterday when I shared that SO had good news from pain management and has shed the 30 pounds he put on in three years with three major surgeries and should be off blood pressure medication next week. It took restraint not to hang up but use the open ear method. In one side out the other side. The calls with his mother are getting more and more awkward but SIL is pushing them. Why?

Both little peach trees have tiny leaves and precious pink tipped buds. They seem to like living their pots of fertile soil in the hot tub enclosure. Spring Fever is setting in big time but there will be another cold snap.

Off to chores and making it a good day.

Sorry to read this @Pepper but good that you have sought help. I think it takes a lot of courage for a person to ask for and accept help, mostly we try to mask these things.

Have you tried or considered some calming techniques? Meditation is good but can be a bit intense so, perhaps just relaxing and listening to something calming?

Not unusually, the weather forecast is at least partly wrong again. The weather has so far remained dry and fairly bright. We've got two lots of washing done and on the washing lines to dry. We may have to finish drying some items, but the sun and the wind are doing a good job.
