Cold, light and oh so refreshing!

Can you guess what I might be talking about?
Light Beer? Yes for some, but not for me.
White wine? Yes and no.
Water? Yes, but no.
Milk? YES!

But you might be surprised, not almond, coconut or soy, but one that we keep by the quart, good ole fashioned skimmed milk!

Now I can hear many are saying yuck!
Not really, since no, I cannot actually hear you, but you know that...

Besides G-d knows what hormones are in it; that stuff tastes like watered down whole milk or dare I say... dirty water...
But to me it is an occasional habit when the bottle first arrives... that first cold light refreshing gulp brings so many good memories and feels so smooth going down...nostalgia!
Sadly, I know my desire to drink too much could be considered not that beneficial due to the above truisms, but like anything else in moderation is nice to do, i.e.drink a little bit of childhood.

Gosh if it wasn't for my coffee consumption, back up to two a day... with club soda  as my staple not to mention the morning low sodium V8, I would be considered Amish.
Stopped drinking wine for an interesting reason back in February, can you guess?
Well, since I can't hear you I will tell you, each glass of wine amounted to 150 calories, and those my  friends I do not need!
I forgot to celebrate this past Friday, maybe because it's now eight years that I quit smoking on, 7-11-06, yep another year passed without the fanfare it so rightly deserved. I suppose that I am taking this all for granted these days, foolishly,but I am being a clean living gal!
Now if the weight thingy would just kindly go off into the sunset...

This week I will be getting a second opinion from the orthopedic surgery center on my MRI's since they did show different degrees of stenosis in three locations, neck/cervical, moderate to severe, chest/thoracic, mild to moderate, lower back/lumbar, moderate.
My heat issue and pain are my dilemmas for exercising.
That arm bicycle I used to do,might have made the thoracic/chest appear to be a respiratory problem, my neck/cervical area, can be responsible for my shoulders and wrist pain as well as my headaches, and lower back/lumbar legs too.

Although, my brain lesions are responsible for many problems from parathesia and spasms and leg and arm weakness all extremities... oh joy!

I suppose without air-conditioning  and ability to pull my weight on the farm that would not allow me to become Amish... but don't we all wish, sometimes for a truly simple life?
But never easy!
Hardworking folks.
Used to be...me too!

Oh well, thought of joy plays in my brain periodically... being well and thin and knowing that I can truly blend in and go here or there...
How I miss walking on the beach, shelling,swimming, fishing... yes all of it!

On that thought of wonderful times...nostalgic times...allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages and we will too!  

And next time please be here or be square, you hear?

I suppose if I can't hear you, you can't hear me either... oh well...aha a SOLUTION!

READ LOUDER! HA!

Which way will the war go?

  My eyesight is going again... in case you missed it... Netanyahu snaps back against growing US criticism after being accused of losing his...
