WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2023

You could call my dumbbell routine "lite" strength training. I use four pound dumbbells and two pound ankle weights. I lift them in various directions, currently twenty reps, which isn't much at that weight. I was doing forty reps last year ...(sigh).

I was breathing a little fast just climbing the stairs today, so I really ought to do more of that. Just got done horseback riding, and that went well.

Another storm is starting to hit us now. Huge one hit last night. No damage for us but a friend from high school posted these pictures of her house and barn. Said if she had been sleeping or doing her crafts in the barn at the time, she wouldn't be typing today. She lives north of us, in Mendocino County, north of Booneville.



Mom will be fine during all these storms. She may get stranded at home but she is well prepared. Doesn't mind just hanging out at home. This happens most winters. Some are just worse than others. Usually there are three ways for her to get into town- Windsor to the south, Geyserville to the north or straight into town. Some times there are options, other times, just sit and wait for the water to go down.
She has a creek in the back of her property but far from the house. Just hope it doesn't go over the well. If it does, she knows how to treat it when the water goes back down. Been out on that property for almost 50 yrs now.

They are saying another two weeks of rain. Hopefully we get some breaks in between.
We really do need the rain and at least for now, I don't have to go out in it much(we did go out and do a little shopping, our usual on Thursday beings I am off and he gets paid and has to pick up his check)
Got one pair of rainboots out and will pull my other ones out this evening.(one pair is not as waterproof as they should be but they are fleece lined)

May be getting two more cats temporarily- son's girlfriend and her family have to move out of their old place today and the new one that her brother is buying isn't ready yet. Not sure how it will go having two more(possible three but the third may be an outside cat(didn't know she had a third, we already took two of her's last time she moved. One is inside, for now but her brother is outside because he wouldn't stop peeing on everything, especially my side of the bed). Son said he will keep her two cats in his room. We will see how that works out.

Went to Walmart- haven't been there in months. DH needed something there. Hit the Christmas clearance. Love that they add all the snowflakes/winter stuff to it- 75% off. Got some cute craft supplies to keep my daycare girl busy. Winter is far from over so I have time to use them up before we switch to spring. Got some at 99cent store too.

Today's feast:
Wilted spinach, cottage cheese, onions and mushrooms sauted, in a nice marinara sauce with diced tomatoes, some cut up meatballs, and cheesy ravioli. It was delightful. Dessert was sugar free dark chocolate, a sugarfree coconut chocolate piece, prunes and a fig Newton with coffee. Very satisfied.


My son sent photos that his wife got a crested baby gecko lizard. So they have quite a menagerie of dogs, fish, snails, shrimp and a lizard. Oh and Athena!😂💖
