Downloading Pictures, New Frustration
I have been trying for weeks to import pictures from my phone. This has kept me from writing new posts, especially in gardening. I used to connect my iphone to my laptop and after acknowledging the connection is legit, my laptop would start importing only the new pictures that I hadn’t already downloaded and I…

Monthly Weigh In – November 2023
Today’s weight is 144.6. I am skeptically surprised. I thought for sure it would be more. After my physical and my cholesterol being high, I did cut down and stopped with the peanut butter and not eating past 7 pm. Then Halloween came. I was not a pig. I had some tootsie rolls, little mini…

COVID Booster
Thursday evening Pete and I went and got our updated COVID booster. We both have always gotten the Moderna vaccine. I thought nothing of it, I previously had no side effects. I felt fine the rest of the evening. I woke up on Friday feeling sore, tired and achy, with flulike symptoms. I attributed this…

Going the Distance, or not
As you can see from my previous posts, I’ve been going to my yearly checkups; physical, blood work, dentist, eye doctor. My latest was my yearly mammogram. In all, my visits to these various appointments I have been using my walker. With accessible parking and the entrances close enough, this hasn’t presented a problem until…

Yearly Mammogram
Since my physical, 2 weeks ago, I have been trying to schedule my yearly mammogram. Easy, right? Let me tell you. I called right away, (Bon Secours), and after 15 minutes was connected. Person on phone took all of my information including medical coverage ID numbers and all. I was on hold while she looked…

So Many Posts!!
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…

Monthly Weigh In – Oct ’23, I’m Trying
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…

Yearly Dental
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…
