  • Fraud Alert!

    Our house in N. Carolina is almost ready. I have been saving a few catalogs with items that I want for the new house. One of the items was a quilt set in the Soft Surroundings catalog dated one year ago. I found out recently that Soft Surroundings has filed bankrupcy and will start closing…

  • Still Trying

    I am still trying to download my pictures off of my iphone into my laptop. The same problem persists. I’ve talked to people who know about these things and have tried going into my settings and turning off the cloud under photos, which by the way, wasn’t on. We bought a new tv in Best…

  • Awe Inspiring Beauty

    The trees are so beautiful. Stunning, I am in awe over the different colors, red, yellow. orange, brown. It makes me euphoric! I had read something, five reasons to be awed in life. Coming in at #4 was nature. I couldn’t believe it. For me it is #1. I’m not going into the other top…

  • 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…

  • 3 Days Later

    It is now Monday morning and I have gone three whole nights with no pain. On Friday the 13, (last post) we went food shopping at Kroger and I bought XS Acetaminophen 500 mg., (generic XS Tylenol), and got talked into buying Anbesol, gum number. This too, I bought generic. Anyhow. I took two of…

  • So Much Pain

    Last night I woke up 3 times in severe throbbing pain. My teeth again. This pain is so intense that I cry, (I am not a cryer). One move of my head the wrong way and it starts. Yesterday the pain started at 2 in the afternoon. I couldn’t eat, afraid to open my mouth.…

  • 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…
