WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2022

LisaInArkansas

Up at 2 a.m., got laundry started, emptied the dishwasher, and read a few chapters of the current book. Finally gave in and made myself a cup of tea. The insomnia is probably due to the tramadol, but well worth losing a little sleep when you can wake up with no pain. For those who have connected the dots, the Aleve that the tramadol is replacing might well be the reason for the ulcerative colitis diagnosis, but they don't know that for certain. They have yet to pin down a specific cause (for anyone, not just me).

Heather - Once again, am very happy to live vicariously through your experience with the cruise! I hope you both have an absolutely wonderful time.

Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa

Grumpy husband this morning. Time to take a deep breath and remember to be grateful for things that make me smile.

I am looking forward to seeing DH soon. He is being moved to a care facility closer to here. It will be easier for our daughter and me to visit frequently. DH has been lonely. He will eventually be in our apartment with me. We are both looking forward to being together.

❤️ 🙏🏻 ❤️. 🙏🏻. ❤️

Carol This little granddaughter is Lilliana Belle ("LillyBelle") and she will turn 3 next week. She lives nearby and she will become a big sister in January or February. Her mom is an ED doctor and also a specialist in toxicology (overdoses and poisonings). Her dad, my spouse's son, is Mr. Mom and in graduate school pursuing a Master's degree in counseling. He wants to be a college advisor. This is the son that is so willing to help us when he has time. He lived with us for awhile when he was about 19 and not welcome at his dad's house, lol. He didn't finish high school and it made his dad mad. Well, now he is getting his master's degree, so...

Karen in Virginia

p.s. We have 5 grandchildren - 3 girls and 2 boys - and one more girl on the way. Two live in California, and the other 5+ live nearby.

It's another GORGEOUS fall day in MN. Big door open to the backyard even though all the leaves are down. Just hanging out, loving the sunshine and warmth until the "s" flies.

Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Having a fried egg and Russian rye toast, with coffee. Last night was night 2 without pain meds. Feeling as though my "episodes" have passed somewhat. Oh to lie in bed, thinking I am not feeling ache or pains anywhere. Its a feeling I took for granted, and now I am just thankful this morning. Tues is my gallbladder surgeon appointment, hope that goes well. I am excited to get this started.

This morning was "self care 101" with a Shea sugar scrub, shampoo, deep conditioner for my hair, then coconut oil from my eyelids to my toes. Of course dipping my hand into the coconut oil container iI gave my cuticles and nails some tlc too.😜😄💖. I always do a self massage on my legs and arms then just lie on a towel on the bed like a some Queen of Sheba. Lol!

Today in the afternoon I plan to have a taco salad. I have all the items leftover in containers in the fridge so, best to make use of them.

I might even write some letters to pen pals today. I have about 10+ letters to answer from way back to July, just haven't felt oomph enough to answer. With spending September with my eldest sister, and helping her prep her place for 150+ people for her husbands Celebration of Life, well that just took the wind out of my sails. I figure I should do a couple now since I am feeling good, before my gallbladder business.
Have a good day all! Hugs from Whidbey island

Rebecca - glad you are feeling more like yourself.

Did stockings etc, swimming, so slowly getting there. I always take a surge protector extension lead, because we have so many gadgets to recharge!

Listened to very good podcasts while I sorted. Excellent about relationships and how to keep the oomph! Whenever I listen to Dan Harris I think of Barbie. In the last one the guest suggested that, when we are together at a good time , we should say, "This is a happy moment". I am going to do that! I know the kids would appreciate that. And DH.
I have been following advice on several podcasts to give more compliments and be more appreciative. Sounds cheesy, but it really works. Pay attention to your loved one. It's the small things.
Nurture your erotic self, even if you are alone. It's for you. Stay alive, questing and curious. Do new things.

All good. I'm going to have a go at all of it.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
