WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2024

Heather - Sent you a long answer over email about video editing. Regarding the pain, I think you've just not given yourself enough healing time. It takes us a little longer at our age, for one thing, and for another, my stars, woman, you've had two MAJOR surgeries in a year. Corey reminds me when I fall over exhausted after a shopping trip that I was ill for a long time, and still recovering... I get impatient, too, with a body that just will not get back to super-healthy as quickly as it once did. My mind's better, why isn't my body keeping up? 👀😂🙄 At the moment, I'm not specializing the channel, but might at some point. Right now, it's just whatever is on my mind.

Tracey - The girls look like they're having fun... enjoy your Thanksgiving! Remember, too, that you were off work for a long time, and by Thursday, you're tired! Even when you're enjoying your working environment, you're still working. Give yourself a little room to rest. Well done for working well with Roger and not tying up into a fight. Not an easy adjustment to make, is it! 😊 And I'm with Aspen. There's no such thing as too much cheese. 😹 And yes, you'll be able to find my YouTube channel.

Rita - So sorry about the back issues on top of everything else. So frustrating. Many sympathies for too many doctor visits in too short a time. Your head starts to spin - plus while you're trying to get one thing healed, you're trying to balance all the other things you're trying to get healthier. You can do this.

Barbie - I'm such a goober, but it truly never occurred to me that pumpkins are green first. 👀🙄 Such a beautiful color of green it is, too.

That very tired man I'm married to finished up in the bathroom, sat down in his chair in the living room and went right back to sleep, bless him. Slept out there until 11, when I woke and realized he wasn't there, went and got him and shepherded him into bed. This morning, he's still asleep, and I've been up for a couple hours already.

In between what he was working on yesterday, and mowing the lawn, he also assisted a couple times in helping me build a thread storage organizer for all the thread I have in various baskets, etc. I bought about $6 worth of dowels early yesterday morning, and the rest was already around the house. The spools that are on there are just for the photo. I still have to get it hung on the wall. And no, I don't have this many spools of thread. Yet. 😂: The reason I built my own is the reason I usually build my own things - because there just is nothing out there that is designed well or works correctly. This is the current thread organizer that I have, and my serger thread spools don't fit on it at all - and only the smallest spools fit on it correctly. Even the quilting thread that I use most can't fit right next to each other, I have to space them out. One serger thread spool-sized organizer I could find was plastic, which I'm trying to use less, not more, and was ugly as all get out. One that was wood was usable, but sits on a table, and I have a lot more unused wall space than table space! And all of them were expensive... So a few dowels, glue and wood and I've got something usable and if not beautiful, at least it's not plastic.

Onward and upward, kids, things to do, nowhere to go, no people to see except my husband and my cat, and that's how I like it. 😊 Happy Sunday, whether past, present or future, as the case may be.

Love,
Lisa in AR

We had a hectic but very enjoyable trip. We fat back early on Tuesday morning. I have been full pelt since then with unpacking, laundry and my groups. Thursday morning we had our boosters, and boy did it sap my energy this time around.

I will skim through what I missed.

🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

As I was dusting, I look at these pics and never thought I showed you guys,

Lenny and I on our honeymoon in Venice, those are pigeons on our hands if you can’t tell. After we got married we had to catch a plane to San Francisco and he had these t shirts made that he surprised me with, his t-shirt said just and mine said married, awwwww.

Exercised then walked around the neighborhood then to WalMart and bought gas. Got Vince to put the door in the garage so we can work on it and I can then clean Jess’ room. Vince wanted to do the sanding in her room. That can be done in the garage, too. The thing is, in order to do it he has to keep his car out of the garage. If it were the Genesis, I KNOW he’d be doing his darndest to get the car in the garage. As it is, the Outlook is out of the garage. When he has to get in it in the morning and it’s cold, bet he’ll work to get the door out of there. The only thing I can see is that he’ll balk at doing the other door now...which means it won’t get done for a long time.

Got him to get rid of the incadescent Halloween lights we had. Why he wanted to keep them, I have no idea. I said “we got rid (donated) of the incadescent Christmas lights, why are we keeping the Halloween ones?” So that is in for donation. We did get the lights out and I tested them.

Tracey– those pizzas look SOOO good. I like extra cheese, too. I just don’t like the added calories. Happy Thanksgiving

Barbara – honestly, I think the reason Vince stops and rests is that he feels he has to do everything at once. See, I prefer to do a little one day, a little the next, and the job gets done. He waits until the last minute and does everything. Also, he constantly feels that he has to rest his foot. He doesn’t look at alternative ways of doing things. Like the sanding, I brought a chair into the bedroom and did it that way. Why he feels he has to stand is beyond me. Vince likes to decorate. If it were just me, I don’t think I’d do as much. Then again, I don’t know that much about electricity. Hey, it took me quite a few years to get the “male” end and “female” end of the extension cord. But now I have it.

I have this bedspread that my mother x-stitched while she was sick. You can see how the stitches started to get “messy”. I’d like to get rid of it, but my aunt (her sister) did exquisite hand quilting. And I do mean exquisite. The stitches are so small, and the pattern! I wouldn’t want to just donate it to the Salvation Army. Anyone have any idea what I can do with it?

Tomorrow after bowling Vince and I have appts for our flu shots. He can get the RSV, I’m too healthy

Usually when I start work I fill my cup with water (no ice). In the past, in the winter I’d boil water at home and put some in my cup. Then, finish filling my cup at work. Since the water is cold it cools the hot water down Well, looks like I’m going to have to start doing that again (boo)

pip – thank you for sharing those pics. One of our neighbor’s dog is named Rocky. When I first met him I said “where’s Bullwinkle”? Their daughter who was walking him said “huh?”….lol

Geez. I had bought some new larger clothes for my trip and then I washed them and now there is absolutely no room for them anywhere in my room! I think I hear a decluttering alarm going off!

How can I do this without leaving my Dad alone downstairs? Hmm.

A drawer or two at a time. Dump the drawers into a laundry basket and carry it downstairs. Spread the contents all over the sofa.
