My wife came back from her pilgrimage to Catholic Shrines in Eastern Canada.



Sunrise is the best time of the day to go hiking...............................San Gabriel Mountains, 10,000 ft.



Taking pictures opens your eyes to the wonders of nature...........Cactus flower with a bee.

I try to not be a complainer but a short vent is needed...

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. (Anemia)

No energy for hardly anything. People--even those I love--irritate the snot outta me... I can barely be civil.

I'm scheduled for an iron infusion Wednesday... I pray this is the turn-around I need.

Sorry about the blah post... thanks for listening

I have battled withy anemia. It sure does take a lot out of you. I wish you the best!

My achievement for the day is about to be: to put on a boring movie, fall asleep and take a nap, it just hit 88 degrees out and only 10:30am.
Woke up at 2 am bright eyed, paying for that now See all of you later. Enjoy your day all!

I am trying to get hold of someone in the cardio group. My request sounds casual. "Do you happen to have any Xarelto samples in my strength?"
If not I need to fill a prescription for well over $500. a month which i really cannot afford.

I have to take a blood thinner because of blood clots. Xarelto or Eliquis costs me nearly $600 per month. I was forced to go with a generic purchased thru a Canadian pharmacy and imported from India. The generic is less than $200 for a 90 day supply, but you have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive.

I did some research on GoodRX. Are you able to take the generic, Rivaroxaban 2.5mg? You can get 60tabs for $194. Check out GoodRX.com for more info.

Well they gave me four weeks of samples and I may be able to stop taking them at that point because I had a Watchman installed. I would be quite happy but I got bad news from yesterday's ultra sound and also tomorrow I need to spend $145. on Farxiga. It never ends.

I went to the bank to access my safe deposit box. I put copies of my revised estate papers in, took some papers & another pack of checks out then reorganized the contents. After that it was on to the supermarket. Didn't do much else today but nap, play games on my phone and watch TV.

Twinwood has been on the back burner for a while, my wife's health continues to improve, today is probably decision day. No sense in her pushing too hard, but her ability to deal with the recent event at Salisbury has given food for thought.

Morning all, on my early walk at 6:45,temp was 68, with light drizzle as I strolled around the building before breakfast
This morning, friend Mary picking me up at 9:30 for our weekly 'road trip' today to local grocery store, Wegmans.I usually ask her what's going at Tudor PLaza{ co apt building} where I lived for 36 yrs.When she does I think to myself' glad I don;t live there anymore'
The rest of my day read NYT, my book hopefully take afternoon walk weather permitting

 

[hollydolly]

Afternoon all.... it's a much cooler day today currently 63 deg at 1.45pm... and a lovely cool breeze coming through the winddow next to me...

No plans for today except to keep pushing myself to do a little more around the house. Honestly I cannot wait until I get full use of both hands again.. I'm going to throughly strip this house....

For now, I do what I can do....

I saw the planets aligned, but only 3 of them. It gets too light before all 6 are above the trees. Yard day. It was warm with clear skies before dawn, but now overcast and smells like rain. I felt motivated when I got up and did my exercises, but now seem to be losing my enthusiasm. Nothing good to watch on TV and nothing sounds interesting or fun to cook.

TV is so bad here, despite 21 Roku subscriptions, and the big golden TV package with channels out the yazoo, and trying to stay conscious watching the documentary about the rare purple stripped assed baboon in East Madagascar for the third time, that we are back to watching contest cooking shows. With his memory failing, my hubs doesn't remember them, so he can watch them with excitement.

I have tried lying, saying I had never seen that cooking contest show before, to make him feel better about his dementia, but I always slip up when he asked who do I think will get eliminated and I say I remember it being the gal that made the bay sha mel sauce that forgot to add salt. He gets aggravated because I ruined the show.

Note: I have no idea what bay sha mel sauce is or how to spell it and don't care.

I may just put on a pot of beans and find our old DVD of Blazing Saddles.

Finally cooled down. Went for an hours walk on the trail
Felt really good. The older I get the heat affects me in a bad way. Can't enjoy summer anymore.

Good morning, no rain scheduled for today but Hurricane Erin is coming along our coastline with dangerous rip tides and big waves. I hope all will stay off the beaches and out of the water. The other disturbance seems to be turning north away from the US, too.

Keep good thoughts today, everyone and enjoy your day, too.

 

[squatting dog]

Digging up an electrical line so I can move the motion lights out to the garden fence.
Sweat, sweat, sweat.

I'm way behind on this thread after a week in the NY area. Had a great visit with family!

3 year old grandson came yesterday, it was lovely to see him, but we're still more jet-lagged than we believed, so when DIL picked him up at 5 pm we were ready to say goodbye.

I went through the week's worth of posts here to catch up. Sounds like most everyone is doing well, but I wanted to offer a few shout-outs.

@Pepper, I'm so happy about your no-Parkinson's diagnosis. What a relief! Sorry about the additional blockages though.
@CinnamonSugar and @Babs2u, I hope the medical interventions help.
@hollydolly, so glad you're slowly recovering from the accident, and are increasingly able to be out and about.
@KSav, I hope you find a support group that works for you. While you may not consider yourself to technically be an alcoholic, it does sound like alcohol creates problems in your life.
@OneEyedDiva and @packleader, glad to see you and your loved ones are doing well.
@hawkdon - sending a week's worth of hugs your way.

It's nice to spend a little time among you again, my friends.
