WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2024

Morning ya'll
Had a lovely time time with June ,and Bev,Lorraine and Junes caretaker
..I had a very rich dinner last night and this is when you know cant really eat heavy..
I had a hot buttered lobster roll and some salad..no dressing..but there was just to much butter and I had water to drink
Had a small piece of chocolate cake.
Honestly I can't eat that stuff anymore.
Today going out with Dan

Today is waffle iron day! I have a Darth Vader one, and an Avenger’s one, and a small one at a time normal one. DH and I found the creature ones for something like $5 on sale some where and thought they would be fun. He makes the best waffles! I’ll have to have him make me some! I’ll use my camera and post here when/if he makes them.

Back from going out with my son Dan we picked up his new glasses and went out to lunch at Chili's for my Birthday.
I had a small house salad,a few bites, 1/2 a cheeseburger 🍔 and a couple bites of corn on the cob and unsweetened tea to drink.
Brought the rest home..
Was nice to be out with Dan

Hi Gals,

Kylia – good job!

Tracey – congratulations

Allie – those are scary numbers. Does the kidney Dr. and your regular Dr consult about what they are prescribing? And I am surprised that they are not recommending a kidney healthy diet. Take care!

Heather – what is MDF under the carpet?

Rita and Margaret – awesome jobs on taking care of your health via diet and exercise instead of dependence first on medications. It is so great to hear that that can work with commitment, not that I do not believe in medications but it is great to hear of dietary steps that can make a difference too.

I took a play day yesterday, drove to a friends, hopped in her truck with was pre-loaded with her kayaks and went and kayaked at a reservoir near her. Had a picnic on the shore, and kayaked some more then went back to her house spent the night and home this morning. It was just 29 hours away but such a complete change in activity and scenery I feel like I took a week of vacation.

Thinking of you all,

Worked then went to Food Lion (had to drive since I was buying Gatorade). Bought Gatorade for Vince and a few other things. I had a coupon for $5 off $25 so I used it.

Kylia – how’s the CPAP working? What kind did you get. Does yours go thru the cellular network or bluetooth? Mine is bluetooth but as soon as I can get the CPAP replaced, I want to get one that uses the cellular network

Monique– unfortunately, too many companies are trying to cut costs (fewer laborers) and rather than having someone come fix something, they “walk you thru it”

Lisa – if I lost something important, I would want someone to return it to me. Do unto others…..

Rita – have you taken lessons in food porn from Rebecca????? Everything looks so yummy

Blueyedgrl – welcome and congratulations!

Susan – welcome. Looking forward to getting to know you, also

I can’t believe tomorrow ALREADY barbie will be posting a new link. Where is time flying to???

Just came in from the pool. Will get ready for church in a bit.

Allie – woohoo on that great weight loss!!!

Ordered 3 pair of shorts from JCPenney, their system didn’t give me the discount. Picked them up yesterday, and today I called and got the refund. I do need to take back one pair of shorts. But if I order them again, I get socked with $4 in shipping to the store. I’ll just take them back for that amount of money

Looked into buying shorts at another store. Do you know that to ship ONE pair of shorts to the store it would be $10? That’s ridiculous

Went to the birthday celebration. Had a grilled chicken panini and instead of the fries I got a side of broccoli. They gave me chips but I brought them home for Vince to have. Only water to drink but they did have birthday cake. Oh well….

Had to say the prayers in church tonight. I am proud of myself, I didn't lose it while I was on the altar. I just won't talk about what happened when I came off the altar.

who just finished some mahjongg. Gawd have I missed playing

Heather - I guess I knew John did all of that, it was your deli shopping I was thinking of maybe.

I like how you word that “take the mental load off” I don’t have that, one of the reasons is because I’m so incredibly fussy. It’s strange I never even ask Rodger to stop and grab something on his way home. I need to ask more, but I hate asking so just do myself.

My paternal grandmother moved out of her own place when I was 12, that whole summer I helped her pack and move. I found her steamer and thought it was a beautiful basket, but couldn’t understand what to store in it. I had that thing for years and never once used it for its intended purpose. 😂

Lisa - we have been having rain every couple of days here, it’s been a help with the fires this year we really needed it. The long range forecast says we’re supposed to have a hot summer though.
I understand the aversion to sweat, I don’t like be sweaty at all.

Machka - that’s a beautiful chair. I need to get back to moving things around and doing things for my weight and strength.

Allie - maybe they could lessen the amount of butter for you next time.

Barbie - it’s nice to have a visit with family.

Kim - I feel like I’ve had a vacation when I go to my daughter’s house. For me just getting away from the city noise and into her quiet makes me breathe easier.

I watched the Celine Dion documentary today, then watched Three Mothers, Two Babies and a Scandal. I put shows on while I’m working on my scrapbook.
I am a little frustrated that Amazon and other streaming services now have commercials. I know I can pay extra to have no ads, but I’m not willing to do that.

I am taking care of my neighbours pets for her until Wednesday or Thursday. She has two small geriatric dogs, a geriatric cat, 100 shrimp and some snails in one tank and a gecko in another. I’m just going over 4 times a day, the dogs don’t like being outside so just do their business and come back in.

Tracey - It's funny how we get linked into roles and routines. If I want John to buy something that I usually buy, I have to tell him exactly where it is. He really has no idea.
He isn't like me, he just wants to get in and out. I love the little chats and social interaction in the little independent shops. He does talk to Naj in the deli, but he's not always there. I am so, so grateful that we persevered in looking for a house in this area. Our local shops are a huge asset to our lives. It makes it a village.
When I lived in London, we had a very similar thing. I really value it.
The produce is mostly artisan and organic. We also have a real butcher, hairdressers, a foot specialist, and a couple of popular cafés with outside tables.
John goes to the local mini supermarket, which is fine, but anonymous. It suits him. He did say the woman serving in the Chinese shop was 'very nice'.

John is off to cricket today. Unfortunately, that means he will miss the England game, but he can listen to it on the radio in the car coming home. I will record it for him, in the unlikely event it's worth watching.
I bought him a new, cheap, Panama hat from Amazon, for cricket, which arrived yesterday, as his old one is very sweat stained. Unfortunately, it came in the wrong coloured hat band, and he found it too heavy, so I'm sending it back. He says he will go to Mad Hatters to get a new, real, one. It will be good exercise for me to walk to the Post Office.

My jewellery box arrived and I have filled it up. I'm keeping the real gold separately, and I have a few beaded items I can't fit in, but I have emptied two more containers, and one ceramic box is going to the charity shop. Pleased with it. It's black, so blends in to the decor.

Looking forward to a day by myself. John has made me promise not to do anything stupid while he is gone. He is a bit worried. I will take a short walk, but nothing crazy. Probably Salade Niçoise tonight, with the focaccia he bought on Thursday. It has to be something able to be kept for his later arrival. I don't have French beans, but I do have mangetout.
Lunch will be my favourite curry laksa. Hooray! I kept back one of the cooked chicken thighs on Friday with that in mind. Will get a couple of king prawns out to defrost.

Happy days! My microbiome is dancing with all the fruit and veg we eat. Massive amounts.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
