It’s quite dark outside right now, looking as if the skies will open up any time. Amazingly, I’ll need to get out and water if this bypasses us to make sure my tomatoes are getting enough water. My husband is making some repairs to our irrigation system, so we’re dependent on the rain right now. I’ve encouraged him to take his time, not working himself into a frazzle over it.
Our driveway people called yesterday, saying they are AIMING to do our driveway repair Thursday! Fingers crossed that Mother Nature cooperates at least a little bit, allowing them to do the 2 jobs they have ahead of ours.
Our trash people took a much-deserved day off yesterday, delaying regular trash pick up by one day. My husband got antsy about it. He decided that my information was wrong, even though the paperwork I have SHOWS they were off yesterday and that our pick up day this week would be Wednesday (rather than the usual Tuesday). So we gathered it up and drove it down. I dragged the can down, so now it’s waiting for them whenever they come.
Amber and Jet seem to have finally reached a point where they can walk carefully around each other – a HUGE improvement from the initial big hostility both displayed when first introduced. NOW the big push is to make sure they are NOT together when ANYONE is eating. Amber, our 95 pound yellow lab, has NO sense of humor or grace when the subject of food is raised.
We will also need to be very careful not to let Jet outside yet until we’re sure she knows where ‘home’ is. I told my husband I wanted to make that decision. So far, he will cooperate, though he is bad about paying attention to details, like where the cat is, or whether she is right under his feet, trying to trip him, when he goes out into the garage to replenish his drink supply, for example.
I’m S-L-O-W-L-Y, gradually, making a bit of progress on losing the lard. I’m now down 27.8 pounds from my heaviest. I’m getting used to reading labels on things and trying to make substitutes so I can watch carbs and sodium, primarily.
I’m routinely doing a 40-minute old lady stretching yoga session daily now. I’m adding another stretch every once in a while. If I can make myself, I’m trying to do some online 10-minute videos, such a exercises with weights for seniors. This varies all over the place, but it’s my INTENTION to do one each day…
I wish you a happy, safe day.

I get chronic migraine so I’m not very fit or flexible – there’s a great channel on Youtube that I have found called “Senior Shape Fitness” that has a lot of ‘classes’ that are very manageable. If you’re doing 40 mins a day, you’re doing way better than me! Yay you! Linda xox

I’ll look for it. Thanks so much for writing. I’m so sorry you suffer from migraines. My massage therapist does, too. I really wish I could wave a magic wand and ‘fix’ both of you. Hang in there.

Gosh, if you do find that wand let me know! And best wishes to your masseuse- it almost seems cruel that someone who helps others chill out, gets migraines! Xx

You and Lynn, my masseuse, will be the first to know if I find it. I agree it’s very cruel that anyone has to suffer. The experts seem to be making extremely slow progress on finding things to help. So Sorry. I did find the channel on YouTube and have bookmarked it. Thanks.

Good news on the channel – I really like the chair yoga and her dance routines – there’s still a few things I can’t keep up with her, but on the whole it’s well suited to my ‘old lady’ vibe (I’m 52 but feel 102!). Take care, xx

Thanks! (Still getting my head around you being a Linda based on your age – it was a pretty new name in Australia in the 1970s and was all but gone by the 80s…. A real moment in time name!)
