WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR AUGUST 2022

Machka-I do have the name of a podiatrist and am making an appointment.

Rosemarie-I don't think I'd "date" either. Men are exhausting. I'm perfectly content being alone and I'd move closer to family where I would likely not even think about loneliness.

There was improvement. We did have a talk and he came home from work with a renewed attitude about our relationship. I asked him if he wanted to go to a baseball game with me and told him he had to commit, and he did. So, we will see how it goes on that day. Change is hard. We've been down this path before. I guess it's up to me to make it stick.

Heather-I heard a radio story about someone getting alcohol free wines into restaurants in France. I thought of your son. We have switched out some of our booze to AF now. It is not the same, but the psychological effect works to some degree and it has fewer calories than juices. Water just gets boring.

Pip--My DH wears crocs most the time and loves them. He says at work they make his feel not hurt or feel so tired.
Viv--Sorry to hear about the problems with your mom and the home nurse.
Several months ago I brought a pair of Hoka as had heard lots of positive things. After less that 30 days my back was out and lots of pain. I took them back. I wear New Balance and sketers and rotate them each day for work ( I have 5 pairs) and then when I am not working I wear crocks or if riding motorcycle short boots.
Working 12 hour shifts this week. Next week we should get back to more normal schedule as new girl will be trainned and one that was out on surgery leave will be back. I am so looking forward to it.
Thursday afternoon I go see the heart doctor and then next Tuesday my regular doctor. Not expecting much change. Have to stop and get blood work one morning this week.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE

Worked but did get in a walk to Food Lion tonight.

The leak at BK was much much worse today. I talked to the “manager” and told her that we can’t have water dripping into the food (not to mention that there was no way I was going to stand there) and asked her what we were going to do. Do you know that she just said “I don’t know”. There was another employee (who Jerry has said has been there for something like 20 years) to who I finally said “if the health department ever saw that, can you imagine what would happen”. She finally said “shut us down”.

I suggested when the “manager” said that she didn’t know what we were going to do, my suggestion was that maybe we could prepare the prep off site? She just shook her head “no”. At least I made a suggestion, I didn’t just stand there and say “I don’t know what we’re going to do”. Finally, the other employee suggested that I do the prep at the other sink. That I could do. Admitted, it was a bit inconvenient and it took me a bit longer, but it got done. The “manager” said “he’s coming to fix it”. I don’t know if she meant today or not. Even so, there’s no guarantee that it would be fixed. So I asked her if she wanted me to wait until it was fixed. That’s when the other gal suggested I use the other sink.

Then counted the donation money at the church then picked up a piece of bisque that I’ll paint for a lady at the condo. Got dinner ready then went in the pool.

Tracey – have fun camping

Good news – we ARE going to see Denise, Pete and PJ on Labor Day weekend. Vince talked to her and confirmed that we are coming up that Sat. (he doesn’t want to drive the Fri of Labor Day weekend). I ordered a trampoline to take with us. You know how Denise is. Many times coming up with one excuse or another. I can’t wait to see PJ. Bet he’s really grown. Vince was complaining about how expensive a hotel is. Well, there's no other alternative. I'm going to suggest to him that he say something to Denise about her coming down.

Oh Viv – so glad your mother is comfortable now. What a hassle! And then the driveway! Have a good time at the coast. You certainly deserve it, that’s for sure

Rita – I have this “thing” about water over my head, too. I’m sure it’s because when I was little we were down the shore and the tide pulled me out. I still can recall that feeling of not knowing if I was upside down or not. What a scary feeling!

Heather – good luck in your class. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Allie – how I wish Denise would come down here! Then at least we can see PJ for a few days. As it is, we got to see him for 1 day in June and we’ll get to see him for 2 days Labor Day weekend. Is there any chance that Tracey and Kyle can go see his parents?

I told Vince that I think Jess wants us to come up to see her. He’s so logical that because she didn’t say “will you come up” he doesn’t think so. The way she said “you’re always invited” just leads me to think that she’d like for us to come up. Vince said to her “be careful what you ask for, you know mom, you just might find her on your doorstep one day” and Jess said “that’s fine”. Mr. Logical doesn’t think she wants us, but I do. I’d like to plan to go up, maybe on a rainy Sun or even Sat. after work. We shall see, but I’m not going to drop this.

Katla – how wonderful!
