  • 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…

  • Yearly Physical

    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…

  • Monthly weigh In – September ’23

    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

  • Introvert or Extrovert

    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…

  • I’ve Got Nothing to Say…..

    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…

  • My Doctor’s in VA

    I have two doctors, one is my neurologist and then my primary care doctor. They are becoming harder and harder to see. My neurologist, Dr. Oh, works out of VCU, (Virginia Commonwealth University). This is not an official MS Center, he happens to specialize in MS studies and patients. I have been seeing him for…

  • Obsessing/Overthinking

    I haven’t written here in almost 3 weeks. That is because I have been upset and losing sleep over something that is out of my control. It has to do with my son and his girlfriend buying a house together and selling his. I absolutely HATE the house they are buying! They are in a…

  • Monthly Weigh In – July

    I happened to weigh myself on the morning of my 65th birthday. 146.8, gaining 3 lbs in one month. All I can say is WOW! I’m finally ready to start calorie counting and riding my stationary bike again. I had seen these commercials for Sonobello, removing body fat by laser. The results were stunning and…
