  • Another Year Older

    Yesterday, July 8th was my 67th birthday. Oh boy. I feel the same as I did at 66. Nothing going on. My cousins Carol and Lauren called and sent cards. Jen is speaking to me again, (she was mad she wasn’t invited to Myrtle Beach). She sent a beautiful card. Bryan portaled with Brylee singing…

  • Monthly Weigh In – July 2025

    143.2. I signed up for an app called FitMe. It cost 27.99 for 3 months. It’s a chair based exercise program. I haven’t started it yet.

  • Pool Lifts

    Well it was very frustrating on the 4th of July. We went to go swimming at the Davis Square pool and Pete maneuvered me onto the pool lift chair only to find that there was no battery and it wasn’t working. It’s bad enough that everyone is watching and now I have to get off…

  • Wilmington Home

    Here we are. I do love this home. I’ve made a few decorating mistakes. I don’t like the couch, loveseat and chair set. I love the dining table from Crate and Barrel, but it is too big. I can’t fit any other furniture, I had wanted to use a sideboard. In the living room I…

  • Could Have, Would Have, Should Have….

    This title refers to my second and last regret, that I did not go away to college. My parents wanted me to but (my mother), disapproved of anything I was interested in. I had a friend, Brenda, that was going to the technical school (BOCES) associated with our high school, Hendrick Hudson. She was studying…

  • Myrtle Beach

    We got back yesterday from a week in Myrtle Beach with Bryan, Laura, Nikol and Brylee. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Vacation Club Rental. I bought this vacation at the very end of a sales pitch to buy their time share. It was a good buy, we were told we would be staying in…

  • What’s Going On

    My life’s been very busy, which is good. helps keep my mind from roaming around. Starting with Memorial Day weekend. We took a quick trip to NY for Brylee’s 5th birthday party. We left VA at 4 am so there was no traffic. Coming back we left at 11 pm, no traffic. The party was…

  • Monthly Weigh In- June ‘25

    142.2 lbs. Very surprised. I haven’t been consistent on the bike because of being outside gardening.

  • Has to be Said

    For everything I do and everywhere I go, I’m in pain. I don’t mention it in my posts unless it stops me cold. My neck went out again two weeks ago that I’m still dealing with. I can’t stand for more than ten minutes. I wake up with my hips aching, throbbing with pain. I…

  • My Issues

    Here I sit probably a month later, after saying I was goiing to deal with my issues and I haven’t dealt with any of them. I think I’m depressed, no, I know that I am. Things are worse with Pete, I can’t hide or push my thoughts away. Every night I wake up because my…
