                                             You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering***  Good morning, my beautiful sisters. I'm typing this up early Monday morning, the sun is rising over the river, and the birds are singing outside my window.  Last week, I turned 56. I'm really noticing my age in a lot of things. There are ways I feel no different than I ever have. But after losing 150 pounds (yes!) my neck is saggy, my skin is getting wrinkles, and my white hair is relentless. But I'm ok with all of it. I've earned every year. Last week I did PT six times, did strengthening exercises once, and took 4 walks. My eating was NOT GOOD. But I am back today!                   *** The weather in my neck of the woods***    Monday: 67, cloudy Tuesday: 63, rain Wed: 53, rain Thursda...

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering***  I've been very grateful the past week. We came close to losing our Dad and the good LORD made the decision to allow us to keep him longer.  Partially due to the recent scares in our family - I ended up getting some grown up things done. I scheduled my long overdue mammogram and my diabetic eye exam. I'm going to get all my x-rays done on Tuesday (which is my 56th birthday!)  I also (barely) got my taxes done in time, Saw my nutritionist again, took five walks, and started PT for my lower back, shoulder, and knees! Did PT six times!                   *** The weather in my neck of the woods***    Monday: 43 partly sunny Tuesday: 69 cloudy (my birthday!) Wed: 68 & sunny (of course the day I go back to work!)  Thursday: 71 and rain Friday: 65 and rain Saturday: 59 and cloudy Sunday: 64 cloudy ***  Thinking about  *** ...

I'm typing this up Sunday evening and I am beyond exhausted. My Dad ended up having three stents placed over two separate procedures - but he is home and recovering. It was quite a scare for all of us.                   *** The weather in my neck of the woods***    Warm and rainy!  Monday: 78 rain and clouds Tuesday: 76 thunderstorms Wed: 71 and rain Thursday: 72 and rain Friday: 70 partly sunny Saturday: 73 and rain Sunday: 42 cloudy ***  Thinking about  *** My Dad, sister, and I have all started a heart-healthy diet. I saw a nutritionist and will be checking in with her weekly. Making some small changes. Walking more often ...

Happy Homemaker Monday (from Starbucks!)

Image
  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  Good morning beautiful sisters. I am posting from a Starbucks this morning. And here is why:  Saturday morning I got a text from my sister that my Dad may need to go to the ER. He had a rapid heartrate, high blood pressure, and very bad chest tightness. I told her to call 911 but he refused so I flew over there (quite literally if you count the speed bumps that put me into the air - NO ONE was around, so yes I was speeding and didn't see it) But I digress.  I got him to the hospital and we found out that he did have a heart attack and his heart is damaged. Since it was Easter weekend, they scheduled his procedures for this morning (unless something happened that was urgent).  So his procedure is at 10 am EST and it is currently not yet 9 and he asked that he had no visitors. So, I won't visit today (I've been there the past 2 days) but I will be sitting in the cardiac waiting room so that the surgeon can come out and tel...
