Let’s talk “skin tags.” I didn’t know there is an official name for them, you know, as you age, small growths, moles, red spots that appear on your neck and chest. These are very common in women and men. They are harmless and to have them removed is not covered by your insurance. Removal is…

“Old Habits Die Hard”– There is a reason that old adage exists: Truth. I am having a very hard time breaking some, if not most of my daily habits. First thing in the morning, I get out of bed between 7 and 7:30 am, even if I’m still tired. I am a morning person, most…

I went for my first laser treatment the other day at Richmond Dermatology, their aesthetic center. As usual, we did a drive buy to see how accessible the office was. There were no steps, and multiple handicapped spaces in the front with ramps. I was immediately put at ease and was looking forward to my…

My weight this morning is 141.1. I have been within a few ounces give-or-take for 4 months now. This is eating whatever I want, no dieting. I am pleased in the way that I haven’t gained any weight considering all the sweets I ate, and not pleased as I look at myself in the mirror…

I thought my last post on Violet would have been the happy ending we wanted for her, but unfortunately I received a phone call from Whitney. She regretfully informed me that they took Violet back to the rescue. My heart sunk. Since her husband travels a lot she tried walking Violet and found her to…

This is the last time the title will be Diet Update . I am not on a diet and I haven’t been in months. I haven’t ridden my bicycle or exercised at all. The only thing I would consider exercise is gardening, which has been occuring few and far between. I will resume posting on…

With a heavy heart, we brought Violet back last Wednesday. I wrote up a summary of our days with her, stressing what a great pet she would make and how lovable she is. We did pay the adoption fee, so hopefully that would help. Needless to say, I cried. The girls who were working there…

A couple of weeks ago I saw a segment on the local news that an area shelter was asking for people to foster dogs or cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. Since we’re not going anywhere or having company, I emailed hoping to try and foster. I miss my Maggie so much and every time I…
