  • I’m so Tired

    This is the third day that I’ve not been feeling good. On Wednesday I was back to volunteering at the garden and it felt good. On Thursday I woke up feeling exhausted and had a hard time getting out of bed, although I slept good. My yearly mammogram was scheduled for 10 am and I…

  • Monthly Weigh In – October

    When I got home I was dreading getting on the scale. I totally blew it! I had cake, lots of cake, I had a few cocktails and wine. I also had French fries, pizza, candy, and BBQ. To my surprise I was 4 ounces less than last month, 136.4. That’s my scale, not the doctors.…

  • After Party

    All my worries were for nothing! The party was a big success. First and foremost he was surprised! All but 3 people invited came. Here is the rundown: I was worried about Hurricane Ian. He didn’t hit NY until Monday: I was doubting my choice of venue. The owner Joe was fabulous! He did set…

  • Party Planning

    The 60th surprise party I’m having for P is this Saturday. More people than I intended are coming and I’m happy about that! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I don’t know if it will be a surprise, I didn’t mention it on the invitation. He is not giving me a hard time about anything,…

  • COVID-19, Bivalent Booster

    I felt very lucky to be able to receive this newest booster for COVID-19. I had the original Moderna and the first booster, but I hadn’t had any others. I was waiting for this new updated version. This one can help restore protection that might have decreased since the original. It is stronger and provides…

  • Yearly Physical

    I was looking forward to this because I had several questions for my doctor. First of all, I like this doctor, a general practitioner, a female who also does my gynecological checkup. She remembers me and is aware of the challenges I face. I am totally honest with her and she is the same. Example…

  • OINK OINK

    This is how I am feeling. I can’t stop eating. I’m always hungry. After a 6:00 dinner of baked salmon, steamed broccoli w/lemon juice and a yam, and a cappuccino at 7:30. Less than 2 hours later P brings in a bag of lime tortilla chips and carrot hummus , I totally pig out. It…

  • Balance Issues and More….

    For the past week I’ve been feeling dizzy. My equilibrium is off more than usual. I almost fell getting out of the shower. Luckily I had the safety towel bar to grab onto. Automatically I tense up, feeling like I will fall and I hate that feeling. Each time this happens, I’ve been able to…

  • Free Bluehost Consultation

    As I was signing on today a popup came on asking if I wanted a free consultation so I answered a few questions and signed up. I immediately received a call from Taj. I asked him questions that I had lined up as far as editing the site menu, importing pictures and if I could…

  • I Bought a Roomba

    As I was flicking through channels last week I came across, QVC. They were featuring an iRobot i7 + WiFi Self Emptying Robotic Vacuum, that you control using your phone. The price was $399. w/free S&H. I quickly went on Amazon to check the price and the same one was 699. I knew it was…
