My rocker recliner is my best friend. Not only has it kept me in isolation from the covid, now it has rescued me from four days of traveling for four hours a day. I am in this rocker recliner and I’m staying and that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
Happy Saturday — and my man is home! โคโคโค
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โroc.โ Find a word with โrocโ in it or use it as a word all by itself. Enjoy!
Sorry, I’m stuck in Duolingo German! I am tired! Three days this week, spending 3 or 4 hours driving. I’m worn out. And I need to go back tomorrow.
I remember when I was 22, my husband and I drove 4 hours to see our folks. At that age, 4 hours of driving a day were tiring.
Some people here do this every day. They drive those hours to get to and from work. They must have terrific jobs, and they must pay them a lot of money because I’m going through a lot of money just going back and forth.
Anyway, my husband is spending one more night at the hospital. They found that he had two ulcers from taking medications that were messing him up. So maybe the fall that sent him to the hospital actually found things before they caused too much trouble. They just needed to watch him overnight.
At another time, I could have stayed with him at night, but with the fear of COVID19, they try to make sure that there’s only one visitor and the visitor can only stay during the daytime.ย I think that my own fear, having heard how much the hospital is dealing with new and more dangerous cases in younger people, has me extra cautious. Even though we are vaccinated, I fear that there are still strains or other types of flu just waiting for those who aren’t vigilant. I haven’t gotten the other cases of flu for decades as keeping isolated during outbreaks. At the time, I thought I was allergic to the vaccines. It was a doctor that told me not to take the shots after a bad outcome one year. Now though, I’ve heard they are no longer making them with albumin, so I may be taking the shots from now on.ย But like many, I have a few immune issues, and so I have been conscientious. It isn’t that I’m afraid of dying. I don’t like being sick. Been there, done that, and being in bed unable to do anything while being miserable is worth fighting against!
Well, midnight is creeping up, and I need to get to bed and get ready for another ride. Okay. It isn’t all horrid. I am getting lots of singing done. Great for breath and mental health! And the view through the mountainous areas with trees and the occasional deer is so peaceful. I’m glad that the pain I used to get through that part of the ride is down to just a little achy and not an all-over pain storm. Still, I am going to be happy without going any more this week!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Rested, reclined, relieved, recovering, refreshing right?
This A to Z Challenge, obviously ‘R’, is a version of Linda G. Hill’s One-liner Wednesday.
Yes, we are getting better since the shot. We’ll be right as rain tomorrow.
Intermittent Fasting For Women Over 50: The Ultimate Guide For Senior Women To Promote Longevity While Losing Weight & Increase Energy Through Metabolic Autophagy by Asuka Young
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
After reading Doctor Jason Fung’s books on Intermittent Fasting this one felt like just a lot of words with very little science or proof of research. So… The only reason I gave it two stars is because I got a good night’s sleep a couple of nights in a row. Not the book I’d recommend if this is something you are interested in. Oh, it does say the words ‘after 50’ on occasion but that just wasn’t enough information for what most are looking for.
My arm is better. But today I had two biopsies of questionable skin spots. No pain. Just a little more to worry about.
Per Linda G. Hill:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โday/week/month/year.โ Use one, use them all, use them any way youโd like. Enjoy!
A year ago when we locked down, someone suggested that we should all keep physical journals. The idea was to treat this time in history of interest to future archeologists.
That was enough for me to try.
The above became my contribution to the future information diggers.
I was faithful filling in my descendants with all I knew and how it was affecting me and mine.
I touch on emotions and politics. And the thought hit me, ‘What if technology of today no longer exists in the future for whatever reason. So I wrote so far as my knowledge went to explain television, internet, computers, etc.
Don’t ask why I got so into that issue. But it was fun. How would you explain this stuff to, say your ancestors who still only had candlelight, maybe even no books yet? I was thinking about that as I wrote.
Well, I was dedicated daily until August. That’s a lot of months of journaling. No diary in my life had me writing by hand past a week at most. So I was proud of this little tablet that was nearly half full when I made this entry.
I guess I owe my historical- epidemiologists more entries. If they found the book as it is, they’d probably think the author succumbed. I’m sure they would shed a tear, shake their heads, and move to the next historical site. ‘Poor thing didn’t last the year.’
So for their sakes, I will write an entry as soon as this is posted.
In this handwritten masterpiece I will state the facts of actual cases and deaths. How they were loved and treated by overworked health workers and how they had to die without family or friends in horrid pain.
But keeping with my original idea I will show my gratitude that most of my loved ones managed this difficult year.
I will include that two of my three besties have had their first vaccine. That two of us are still waiting.
Fears of future possibilities will be expressed while sharing gratitude and happiness that we may all see each other by the summer.๐ค Hopefully an Independence Day is coming like none other! ๐บ๐ธ
I’ve shared my favorite break-fast of salmon, spinach, and cheese. But I have another that is sans cheese. And it was so filling I had to put up half for later.
I had made a sweet potato yesterday. It was too big so I put half of it in with the salmon and spinach. I had Bragg’s Liquid Aminos to give flavor. I recently bought these noodles. Check them out!
These add texture and fiber without too many carbs or calories. ๐
Butter the top. Butter the bottom. Put the meat in the middle. Best way to deal with a delicate issue with a friend or foe.
It is hard advice to follow when in the middle of conflict. But taking the time to think thus may help both parties find a peaceful solution.
Meanwhile, butter in coffee? I like butter. I love black coffee. But … okay, I’ll look up the recipe and let you know when I’ve tried it.
Popcorn is best with butter.
(Can anyone tell I’m trying to get healthy?)
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โbutter.โ Use it as a noun, use it as a verb, use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
Chatting with my daughter, Zooming with my friend, and finishing the pair of socks make a perfect Wednesday.
One-liner Wednesday is a fun prompt by Linda G. Hill.
I had hoped that I’d have a whole pair. But only one is finished. I hate leaving a loom empty with leftover sock stitch markers. So on the upper left, the next toe of an opposite color combo of the ones nearly finished. Middle is the finished product. Right the sock still needing a few more rows.
