WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2020

Hi all: Cool day here and it rains every time I step outside. When I first stepped outside this morning to feed the critters it was not raining. By the time I reached the barn it had started. Same thing this afternoon.

I got my hair cut this morning and I feel like I am me again. They had reconfigured the salon and only one beautician using the washing station at a time. All the girls wore masks, I wore mine part of the time. I took it off when she washed my hair and when she was trimming up over the ears.

Rebecca - Happy birthday!

Katla - Glad that procedure is no longer in Portland. I hate having to drive in big cities.

Pip - Those bees are amazing.

Beth - DD works in a warehouse as manager and in mail order. She has gone back to work full time and it has been really hard on her the first week back. She comes home really tired.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Bwcetc: I like getting to know other women, too. Our differences help us reach new understanding. We still get to hold our own values while seeing others. It feels like multiple opportunities to see other points of view while staying true to ourselves.

Barbie - have you ever seen the episode of Big Bang Theory where Raj has the “relationship” with Siri? That’s what I am picturing with Jake and Alexa right now. 😂. My husbands phone picks up once in a while and answers a question he asks. He finds it too creepy to ever allow Alexa in our house I think. I would like the smart plugs though, for a couple of locations.

Carol - I have wondered how my mother in law was doing without her soaps. I don’t thing there’s too many days in her life she has ever missed an episode.

Rebecca- happy Birthday!!!!!

Terri - happy to hear how well your chairs are holding up.

Lanette - we saw a metal chair when we were looking on Saturday. Rodger and I looked at each other and at the same time said, “someone will get burnt with those”.

Katla and Beth - I agree about getting to know one another. It’s what keeps me coming back here.

I have had chats with two best friends since Saturday. The first one is my friend since I was 13, it is her Mother that I adopted as my own and her children are my Godchildren. She was informing me that she just found out she has a 50 year old half sister. After her Dad left he moved provinces, met up with a lady but never knew that a child was created. He found out through Ancestry DNA. It was quite a shock.

My other best friend, the one who all my other friends knows is the Best Best Friend sent me a video of her daughter singing (I’ll share) when I responded to that she told me she decided that after a long day at work she still needed to be on vacation and had three coolers after work. She was a little tipsy, which she never is and it was fun talking to her. We are both disappointed we won’t be seeing each other this summer. We have managed to see each other the last two summers

Thanks for the Birthday wishes ladies. It was a nice quiet day.👍Rainy here on the island. Received a call from sis in Montana, and later received a call from middle son, chatting on speaker because all three of them were off somewhere.

Presently I am on hour 28 of fasting. No problems today, just drinking water, and if I felt a headache coming on I put a kernel of pink Himalayan salt under my tongue. Right now I am really hyper! Just took magnesium so hopefully that will help my body settle down.👍
Will check in tomorrow!

I don't care what you all post ... your opinions/activities/experiences, whether I agree with them or not, give me an opportunity to learn more about who you are. Your posts are how I learn what constitutes your "contextual identities...." Part of the beauty of this thread is getting to know other women from all walks of life and all over the world who are also on a quest for good health. Part of the beauty of a computer, on the other hand, is scrolling quickly or using the ignore button ... lol! Beth my thoughts exactly!
Rebecca, Happy Birthday! So glad you got to talk to your boys recently!
Tracy, how nice that you got to talk to your besties.
Lisa, despite the fact that you have an unmanageable employee, it sounds like "the two of you" are getting lots done around the property! lol
Pip, I know you're not an idiot either, but I do hope you can find someone who will be able to move the bees to a safe place, they are so important to our lives! Congrats to Kirby on his retirement date!
Katla, happy to hear that you don't have to go to Portland!
I'm sure there were other posts that I wanted to comment on, but I've been a little MIA so have only had time to skim. And now it's getting late again, so will have to make this short! I am volunteering tomorrow morning with a group that helps single women get back on their feet. This group partners with 35 local agencies helping young women transitioning out of foster care, women leaving abusive relationships and just women in general who are clients of these agencies. Anyway, they depend on donations (of course!) and this is mostly household goods, there is no clothing and only minimal furniture (small dressers, night tables, chairs and kitchen furniture) as well as small appliances and decorative stuff. They had been closed down for a few months because of C-19, but are now open by appointment. I was going to start with them taking women thru and helping them "shop", but that got derailed, so now I'm going in tomorrow to accept a couple of donations and help sort stuff that was donated at least a week ago. There will be two of us, the other gal has a lot of experience, so she'll be supervising my sorting. I'm excited about it and really looking forward to when the shopping can get started in earnest again. Sounds like it's been liason people doing the shopping right now, in order to minimize the number of people in there, which is good. Our little corner of the world is doing very well right now although our province did have 36 new cases over the weekend. Hmmm, that just got longer than I had anticipated! lol I am off to bed now tho.
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!
