WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2022

Did a 20-40-60 workout on the treadmill today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Leslie Sansone DVD

Someone mentioned about how I have my workouts planned. To be honest, if I didn’t do this, I’d get up in the morning and not have things ready, by the time I decided what I was going to do, you can bet that I would find every reason in the book not to do it. So I have to have it planned. And I like to vary my workouts which is why DVD’s work for me. I know me and I’d get bored if I did the same thing every day

After exercise went down to the pool after making some hard boiled eggs, then went to Upscale Retail. They didn’t have a crockpot that I wanted but I did find shorts and a blouse (like I need it). Then went and saw where this laundromat is (the one I used to use is no longer there and I know I’m going to have to wash our quilt), went into this store next door just to see what it was and found an exercise DVD. It’s about the same price as from the SPCA thrift store so I could live with the price. Stopped at Beal’s Outlet and got a few bras since I’d seen on the internet that Beall’s sells the coverup that I like so I wondered if the outlet carried it (they don’t). Tomorrow maybe I’ll take a walk across the street and go to the Beall’s store to see if they have the coverup. Anyway, it used to be at Beall’s people 55 and over got 15% off on Mon and those 55 and younger got 15% off on fri so I added Jess to my card. Well, they no longer have the Mon/Fri thing but they’ve combined them. However, as I was checking out the gal said to me “oh, I see it’s your birthday month (Jess was born in March) so you get $5 off plus 15% . So I saved a little over $8. Thank you Jess

Called insurance and Safelight will be here the morning of the 8th to replace the windshield

I remember Joyce! How very sad

Barbara – no, no redness, swelling or the leg being hot. It feels more like when I sit for periods of time, something gets inflamed. Thanks for the aspirin/Tylenol difference. I honestly didn’t know the difference. I’m not on blood thinner but Vince is which is why we have Tylenol in the house and not aspirin. I’m going to buy some for myself. I’ve thought of Lenora a lot, too. Another person on that page was Gloria.

Allie – OIC about the “they”

Thinking of pip

Mailed the card for Lynette. Also sent her a short email just asking how she is and telling her that I’ll be thinking of her tomorrow (her mother’s ceremony)

M – about the only symptom of blood clot that you listed is the varicose vein, but I figure we all have that, nothing out of the ordinary

Carol – thanks so much for posting Joyce’s obit. So many of the people (Charlie, Trinity, etc) she spoke about on here that I felt I knew them. I’m so sad she’s gone. She was such a wonderful person

Betsy – I remember years ago we had to have a windshield repaired and at the time we were told if the chip could be covered by a dollar bill, they can fix it. Anything larger they have to replace. I remember Vince one time had a chip and they repaired it, so much so that the only way you knew it was there was if you looked real real close. The bright side is that it’ll be a nice clean windshield. I had some sort of film on the windshield. Oh, I could still see out, but it was just a pain. Now that won’t be a problem. They did say that I shouldn’t go thru a car wash for a while (like I ever use a car wash. I think the last time I used one was 10+ years ago. I like washing my car myself).

Pip – that’s some tumor!! I hope you don’t have cancer. When will you know the result?

Annie DE (((HUG)))

I bet most others would have felt pip’s tumor sooner. but pip is in such great shape, she probably didn’t even notice it for a while

The friends we met yesterday make their own wine. They gave us a bottle which was very nice of them. However, the cardiologist doesn’t want Vince to drink (he does have like one beer occasionally or one glass of wine once/year) and I’m not a drinker. I’ll probably save it until Christmas. The bad part is that I won’t get the sweet Golden Muscadine. But that might be a blessing in disguise for me. I really like a sweet wine and this is so sweet that, honestly, I can finish the whole bottle.

Going to play cards with a couple of ladies tonight. Well, I missed playing last night. I just get bored playing the same thing over and over (canasta). I like canasta, but I’d also like to play other things. But it seems that some people around here are very into doing the same old same old. Oh well..

So speaking of sore legs, mine have been quite sore this week, especially my left leg. It has been a very humid and warm week and I've been retaining water like mad. Everything is swollen but especially my left ankle - it's swollen and red and looks awful (to me, anyway). My left leg is actually so swollen, I can't bend my knee properly.

I think this weekend will be a bit of recovery time because I'll sleep quite a bit which means my legs will be raised somewhat - or at least not down as when sitting or standing.

Cycling seems to help a bit too because I'm not putting pressure on my legs. And gardening means that I'll be moving about which helps the circulation, rather than sitting for long periods like I do in my job now.

We ran the air conditioner on a cool temp all night.
I elevated my leg for 12 hours.
I made many trips to the toilet during the night.
I lost 1.2 kg when I stepped on the scale this morning (that's in 2 days).
And the swelling in my left leg is down quite a bit.

Amazing what heat and humidity will do to the body!

(((Pip))) - I hope every day is better than the next and each day is better and better. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Oh, Pip. I am so thankful they were able to remove that mass in tact. Hoping for the best for you.
