Gardening, music, life with MS
I am overwhelmed with new posts in my mind. This blog was going to be called, “A Full Mind,” for self explanatory reasons, but it was already taken, therefore “My Boomer Mind” was born. I want to dedicate myself more to writing, but I get overwhelmed easily and therefore don’t know where to begin or […]
Last week our country narrowly missed a shut down because of 9 rogue senators. The Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, worked with the Democrats and most Republicans to pass a resolution for 45 days. This incensed Senator Goetz, (rogue from Florida) and the following day he made a call to remove McCarthy as Speaker […]
I weigh 146.6, which is consistent with my physical last week. Since I’ve been told that my cholesterol is on the border of taking medication, I have stopped (cut down a lot) of sugar. I still have instant oatmeal packets, (with less sugar) and MultiGrain Cheerios. No more ice cream, even though I bought low […]
Finally after 3 years I can get a teeth cleaning; Every year I’ve gone and they’ve found some problem, which they fixed and left no insurance money for the cleaning. They still found another problem. My right lower molar had to be pulled. This is a relief because there was a big hole underneath. He […]
I had my yearly physical yesterday. I was looking forward to it for two reasons; I got to actually see the doctor, and I’m having a lot of physical problems I need to discuss. First thing was recording my weight, 147 lbs, I thought I gained but she said I was down 2 lbs. from […]

I was hoping I would be a little less this month but my weight is 145.4, so much for that. I am eating less, but I am also eating a lot of peanut butter. I’m thinking the health benefits outweigh the fat and sugar. Wrong
How far does freedom of speech go? It turns out that it goes very far, in fact it seems that there is no limit at which you can use it. Its been used to spread lies, misinformation, and outlandish conspiracy theories. The worst example is that “freedom of speech” was used to start an insurrection […]
I have always thought of myself as an introvert. I love (need) my time alone. I am a homebody. This is my safe place. My hobbies, reading, crafting, being outdoors in nature and gardening are how I achieve peace by myself. I don’t like distractions. When I was on the beach or in the woods […]
This is obvious, since I haven’t written a post in about 2 weeks. Nothing is happening right now. There is no gardening since the temperature is above 90 daily. We have not gone anywhere and except for volunteering 2 days a week, (which is saving me in more ways than one) I do the usual […]
