WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2021

CSSJ--Sending hugs and prayers for your DGD and for you.

As for family, my dad was married 3 times for a total of 11 kids. Mom married a man that had custody of his 4. So a big group. Since our parents have passed we don't talk much. I try and call my one brother once in awhile. I have one brother that is only 10 months older then me as he is from the first marriage and we are the same age from March 2 to May 30. I have never met him, but talked on the phone a couple times. As for our kids we are a blended family and when they were young we could get them all together, not so much now so do the best we can. I send a lot of cards and stuff to grand kids and we text and facebook. Sure not the way I would like it, but just do the best we can.

I tracked breakfast and lunch. did 15 min on recumbent at over 115 HR, meditated 15 min, awesome was that i went for a little sit in very nearby tiny public park to start the day before 9 am (. when i got there there was a not so young guy clearly meditating in on park bench, sitting position, hands/arms released, eyes closed. i was gonna walk by to check but then he started to leave.Then i sat and took some notes for my date book for the month. as i was leaving- just a few minutes later- there was a younger guy also sitting meditating across the park, on a bench, this time, shoes off in semi-lotus position. i walked by also, he gave me a big smile. he must have felt the kindred spirit. i could only smile with eyes as i had a mask on. i have done lots of meditation, and occasionally have meditated in parks outside, but not much as it doesn't feel very comfortable (people can consider one strange, ostentatious). i have felt that changing in recent years. i would never have done that 30 years ago, but i have occasionally done that recently (in quiet place with few people, etc). Mindfulness being all the rage and having become very manystream, what was 30 years past considered almost sect-like (focusing on breath, body sensations, observing sensations and thoughts) is now run of the mill.

Did all so far except the 8h of writing and producing many pages. wish me luck. i need it! (luck or courage or will or inspiration or a guardian angel or help or something!)

i often have my feet up.
i think my circulation is so-so not sure why, so it's nice to have feet up often enough.
i have never had a deep-sink-in chair, neither in my childhood home(s), nor in my adult homes.

We had this one easy chair at home as a kid that was well stuffed and good quality, solid, but quite firm and not with butt below knees.

We had this weird kids's rule between us (decided by kids not parents) that whoever was sitting in that chair got to decide what channel we watched. So of course sometimes that meant trying to get the other to get up or waiting for them to have to go to pee, or get a snack. very weird and funny.

my brother liked star trek reruns and me i remember liking kimba the white lion cartoon, ha, ha, ha!
and i think my brother maybe liked "speed racer" cartoon.

since my brother was 4 years older, he was more tricky with getting to sit in the TV chair, and so i surely watched more star trek reruns than kimba the white lion. it's definitely better to choose but star trek has become a classic and kimba, not so! i have never watched a star trek movie though! (and only 1 star wars 1 time- the 1st) maybe that's why! LOL

my dad was super into science fiction movies and books back then too. kind of quirky back then. i didn't know of anyone else who was so into them. he would read any science fiction he could get his hands on that came to the local suburban library back then in the 60s and 70s and early 80s...LOL, and go see the same local suburban movie a few times.

I always have my legs up. Can't stand having them hanging down. I spend most of my time lying on the sofa, or lying in bed. I work on the bed. I hate standing even more.

A back expert on the TV the other day said, it's not what position you are sitting in that matters, it's how long you stay there. So keep changing position and get up and walk about.

Had a nice Zoom with my girlfriends. The last of our mothers is 94 today.

Vaccination report—We had our second Pfizer jabs yesterday, and I woke up this morning with a nasty headache. I took tylenol and am having coffee now. The coffee seems to be helping more than the tylenol. On my way home yesterday I stopped at the local ice-cream shop. The ice-cream was wonderful!

Congratulations on your second vaccination Katla. In the UK we have to wait 12 weeks between doses. We haven't got a date for ours, but we are expecting one in about 4 weeks time.
Our numbers are dropping fast and no one is dying locally. Very few in ICU.
I can't wait for my second as, after 5 days, it will mean I can go indoors with my loved ones. The government is saying mid May.

I'm feeling more optimistic about my ability to edit my memoir. It still looks far too long, but I am enjoying the process.

We will be getting that later Annie
