Better now!

Sometimes we must all admit even you "well ones" that the mechanics of our finely tuned soft structures that we dwell in, called our bodies are not only amazing, but baffling  too.
As mine did once again this morning.
My left arm was particularly uncooperative and painful in that extraordinary way of nerve electrifying, emanating excruciatingly pain from my shoulder blade all the way to and through my hand! Not fun, and in need of attention by someone who knows how to fix this appendage that was becoming an ornery problem.
Lucky for me that I was scheduled for physical therapy again today at eleven with Jaye.
After a short question and answer period to determine if my issue was what we both thought causing the malfunction; nerve pinching due my cervical stenosis or my Multiple sclerosis, either way I was first getting a massage and then a large neck through shoulder covering ice pack was applied to the afore mentioned location,
so my legs were stretched instead of me being stood up on the parallel bars today; I had been doing good.
After Jaye treated my left shoulder the pain diminished from an eight to a four/five on their pain scale!
Nice that I had PT today!

Love to all, be well, peace, and share all those blessings!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

Homemade Bean Soup in Summer heat!?

Hot outside but hopefully never inside!
Overcast and gloomy as if a snow storm was coming in, but of course not here in Florida with being inside with air-conditioning due to the oppressive heat
, only our normal afternoon thunderstorms.
Being a Jersey gal it still reminds me of those snowy days, even thirty years later, due to that ominous foreboding sky, thus the need for the homey comfort food! Mmmmm, mmmmm and oh so good!
We had a bag and half left of that fifteen bean kind in the pantry.
A half bag is plenty for only the two of us.
Stewed tomatoes and sautéed onions and garlic make it mighty tasty too.
I use the quick method on the instruction bag.

Geez, the storm has come in.
Even with all our surge protectors I worry about power failures; they do have a tendency to happen here.

Thus my finishing now.

Love to all, be well, peace, and share all those blessings.

Nothing special

It must be a cliche to say that it was just one of those days, hmm?
Streaming fanatically would you believe, The Gilmore Girls?
So far if I can recall them all, my choices have been:  Bones, NCIS, Grace and Frankie,  Breaking Bad,  Better Call Saul, The Glades, and a few others that I did not  continue! The ones named were guilty pleasured in their entirety on Netflix all of their available seasons!  Not the Gilmore Girls yet have been completed, seven seasons are listed and so far I am only up to season four.
The new ones are said to begin again this November, the originals were on from 2000-2007, so it has been nine years!
And I truly enjoy it so much that I am definitely looking forward to the continuing of the show in the fall. We had watched when they originally aired.
I highly recommend any of those above binge worthy shows, that is if you haven't already devoured them.
Eclectic in taste, but all fine entertainment.

Love to all, be well, peace, and share all those blessings.

And so it goes...

I really, really wanted to let my hair grow, but today I decided to cut it nearly all off!
Decisions to do so was quickly made after I had to ask Hubby to blow dry it this morning! My arms were not willing to complete the task. Low blow, pun intended, a smidge of devastation too.

Next I will be asking for help in the bathroom, NOT EVER! Hope to die before then, maybe not... but you all can understand, true?

Any-who, PT was again today with Jeff and I beat my own personal best with standing four plus minutes in four divided increments, but I did it!
Silly, really that so much we take for granted sometimes we shouldn't, ya know.

After was the big decision fulfilled, but does look nice and it is easy care; just wash and let air dry!
I have had this short plenty of times before, especially while teaching Aquatics for those four years.
No fuss no muss truly, ha.
The longer hair made my neck too warm anyway.
And this style although short doesn't even make me look like a pin head, ha!

We had lunch at Olympia, Hubby meatloaf and mashed potatoes with green beans plus New England clam chowder, me house salad and shrimp Creole, ice water and side of lemons for both!

Too much girly stuff tonight sorry friends, but even at this older version of the girl I once was it's days like today that makes me realize how quickly things appear to change in one's life and that makes me slightly sad.

Love to all, be well, peace, and share all those blessings!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS : Forgive the introspective reflecting; but I seem to lose a little of what makes me me every day, oops!

Writing

Sadly I've been trying to communicate my daily experiences but I have no idea if anyone is reading this.  Today we went to building permits to discuss our desire to build an awning approximately 20'X20' to protect me and my computerized ride from rain and heat. The awning came in at just under $1500, but the permit is $880! To me it seems ridiculously out of proportion at more than fifty percent of the cost of the project! I did Google the average price for a permit for an awning nationally and for a 12'X19' awning system in Clark County Nevada was a mere $26! What's wrong with this picture, I ask you? Very upset. Love to all, be well, peace, and spread those blessings! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!PS: anyone have any ideas?

Trying!

This might work, not too bad. I am quite thrilled. I was even able to pay the last bill of the month from here to my bill pay, our cell, Ta Da! Thankfully, my notebook should be back way before I need it! Although, this is proving where, there is will there is way, and here it is! That's all for now...                                       Love to all, be well, peace, and share all those blessings!    And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

More common than I thought...

http://cnhpillow.com/pressure_sores.php http://www.medic8.com/ear-disorders/hearing-loss/pressures.html

Apparently, at this point in my life I am not only elderly, but I am disabled too, thus the above problem being a common issue that I never realized could happen or even thought of as a possibility, ear pressure sores, i.e. if you don't feel like clicking on those above links with more info that I would have thought was out there or even existed, although interesting to me. There are two different sites, I know it looks like one long one. The first is informative, but also a commercial for their pillow that appears to be the cure for or an avoidance best way, the other is a clear-cut explanation, but also suggests removing pressure while sleeping and the pillows available with holes in them are truly appropriate for prevention!

*Most importantly I will be off line for about a week due to my computer going back to the manufacturer for a new battery install warranty extended due to faulty battery.

Love to all, be well, peace, and spread those blessings all over the place!

PS: See you all, figuratively upon my computer's return to service. It only works now when plugged in.
That is unless I figure out how to write easier on my phone... who knows!
