WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MAY 2022

Worked then went to Aldi (the prices! They’re no longer the cheapest. $2.99 for a dozen eggs!!!) Soup kitchen tomorrow.

You know, I’m really enjoying the work. I can (to a certain extent) make my own hours. If I go in early, that’s OK, a bit later is OK, too. Just 6 miles from my house, only 3-4 hours/day. Works for me. I’m not looking for a whole lot, and this is just enough. The biggest pressure is “did I remember to rinse the lettuce?” I have no desire to be on a register – BTDT. Same with making a sandwich.

Cassie – welcome! Apologies to anyone I’ve missed. Welcome everyone! Echoing what Lisa said. She has such a great way with words

Heather – great picture

M – do they give you training as to what you can and can’t ask in an interview?

Sue – You’ve HEARD of Doe Run???? That’s amazing! When we drove thru the kids were asking “what’s that building”. We had to explain what an outhouse was….lol

Rebecca – happy birthday to Princess Athena. Boy, she’s growing up so fast. Seems like just yesterday that she was born. Love how she enjoyed her cake!

Speaking of birth, I was talking to this guy at work today and he mentioned that he was born in ‘74. That’s a year after I graduated high school! Talk about making you feel old. He was saying how his mother was born in ‘54. That’s one year before I was born! I know that he didn’t mean to make me feel bad. I just told him “well, I can remember the 60’s”

Tina CA – stay safe

Anne DE – hoping for the best for your riding instructor

As promised HERE’S SMURFETTE!!! And my alligator outside

Karen - I couldn't resist taking the Alzheimer's test/study, and surely I can only go up from there... Then again, I never did like tests you can't study for.

In all reality, I know my cognition has changed in the last couple years quite sharply. I struggle with tip-of-the-tongue syndrome a lot, and it's incredibly frustrating. I have always finished everyone else's sentences when they're searching for a word (I know, incredibly annoying), and now I cannot finish my own. Not every sentence, not even every day, but it's a perceptible change. I sincerely hope it's one of the medications.

According to our thermometer, 105 degrees in the full sun, but according to the weather critters, only 90 degrees. I think they're thermometer is in the shade.

Corey's cooking burgers for dinner... smells wonderful!

Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa

Edit to add: I did mow in the end, and then a nap jumped all over me and I was out like a light for two hours. Good gravy, I love retirement!

My son had to work on Mother’s Day and every day since so he took me to dinner tonight. I had nachos then we went for ice cream. I am liking not having to figure out points and just tracking calories so far.

My boy is 18 and will be going off to college this fall so I know these times are even more precious. I enjoyed talking with him and spending that time just me and him. The hubs stayed home he said he wanted to let me have that time with just Lucas.
