President Obama took a side trip on his way back home, he stopped off in Iraq to say hello to our enlisted military personnel, and I am sure they enjoyed the nice surprise and thank-you’s he brought with him.
My cousin is back at home today! He sounded just great when I spoke to him earlier.
Cardiac low sodium, low fat diet and medication also a schedule for physical therapy all came home with him too.
My hubby started the interior of the fence painting today, and that means that we are that much closer to starting the new vegetable garden or my boardwalk for my scooter or who knows what’s next!
It’s exhausting just watching it all from the comfort of our air-conditioned home, actually I can’t watch too often since I feel guilty about not being able to help, and that is true.
I did accomplish a few things today I took a few of the dirtiest throw rugs and threw them in a hot wash and then dryer since it was all before hubby got up. I couldn’t wake him to put them on the clothes line; could I?
I also used the broom and Swiffer to clean the tiles where they were by the back door and garage door the most used ones thus why they were the grubbiest.
I had forgotten to mention this very nice short anecdote: My husband also was back to his Lone Ranger mode, again… a few days ago he had been given the wrong white paint at the home store, it was the base they use for mixing colors in so it was short the five gallons and also very thin in consistency, and so he was cordially able to exchange it for the correct one. On his way home down the Tamiami Trail there was an accident, and he saw that the elderly couple in the front vehicle were befuddled by the incident and it appeared that a young woman had tried to run a light but the older couple’s car was in front of her so she had rear-ended them. My husband didn’t actually see the occurrence of it but he was one of the only ones to stop, and so he called 911 and waited for the deputy to come and he told him what he knew, which that he was not an eyewitness, but stopped to help and see if everyone was all right; my hero was back in form! That’s why I love him. As a retired deputy and fire chief I believe he was born that way, but in the two and a half years that he’s been retired he hasn’t had much of a chance to do that sort of thing.
I could tell he was proud of himself for when he left to exchange the paint he said he would be back in about a half an hour, but it turned into an hour. And I asked him if he had a problem with the return, and then he told me why it took longer, with a slight grin.
Fortunately, no one was injured, thus the smile.
If anyone out there has any ideas how to get my endurance to be transformed since I am too sedentary. Mind you I was the woman who used to work out at the gym an hour and half five to six days a week, race walk three miles in forty minutes, and have the momentum of a teenager. But now I have been told that even walking would only destroy my hips and shoulders (since I need my cane to switch off for balance) further and the pain, which there is nothing that I can take for it, due to stomach issues, would not diminish. No insurance, no quick fixing of these problems.
Help world, please.
I am becoming a Jabba the Hut from the Star Wars movies, fat and immovable.
You see, that most people who have these problems have meds that work to waylay the pain to work past it; even I know that being an X-jock. I am still waiting on my swimming pool to warm up; it’s still a little too cold, it's in the seventies too cold for MS and arthritis, 85 degrees is the perfect temp. I am a certified Aquacize instructor, but even here the season, at nearly nine months is not long enough for me with my needs. We do have indoor pools here but you must pay to join and some are not that often checked for bacteria or if they are then they have to close them to fix the problem.
I seem to repeat these requests and I am beginning to wonder if my initial reasoning for writing this Blog last June 25th, which was to have a community of like minds and ideas. Well, I’m still waiting folks?
Good night to all and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
