I had a regular doctor's appointment this week, and she referred me to a physical therapist for my back. The back pain hadn't gotten to the point it had about 10 years ago when I had to have two giant cortisone shots, but it was still bothersome. I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes or do any housework ( Read more... )

I've just been hanging out at home trying to recover from bronchitis. The medicine is working very slowly, and I'm bored but too energy-less to do anything about it. Still coughing my head off. I did cancel my dinner and outing with my friend Mary. I called her Wednesday morning after I woke up with a sinus headache that eventually made my left ( Read more... )

Being sick is, among other things, very boring. I don't feel well enough to work outside or do much housework, but I'm not so sick I have to lie languishing all day. I sound horrible, as if I have wrapping paper crumpled up in my lungs. I'd like to know where I caught this because I hadn't really been anywhere. Probably just a germy shopping ( Read more... )

As soon as I can get showered, I'm off to Urgent Care where I hope they will give me an antibiotic for my cough and ears that feel the size of an elephant's. I think I have some Netflix films arriving today, so I'll just watch those the rest of the day and lie around ( Read more... )

My sister, daughter-in-law, and Daughter's maid of honor hosted a bridal shower at my sister's house yesterday. Oh, it was fun! It wasn't an old-fashioned shower, with just women. I'm not even sure anyone has those anymore. All together, there were maybe 30 people: cousins, friends of the Bride, ex-in-laws, Princess Baby and the Cookie ( Read more... )

I cleaned the birdbath, watered the flowers, washed the dishes, and showered myself. The house is pretty darn clean. I cleaned the upstairs bathroom, my bedroom, and even did a little work on the spare bedroom ( Read more... )

I just finished putting down a big bag of mulch. It had been lying by my driveway for a year! Cleaned up the driveway, put away tools, watered the flowers and the birdbath. What with breaks to ease my back, it took two hours. I so enjoy it, though. There are endless projects out there. I should have applied for a job at one of the local plant ( Read more... )

The people two doors down are always losing their cats and dogs. Every few days I'll see the girl/woman walking down the street yelling "Molllllie!" for her big dog. I don't know what it is. It's muscular, but not a pitbull, thank goodness ( Read more... )

I couldn't sleep last night for the lightning. It was like flashbulbs going off in my face. I'm groggy ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a beautiful day. Blue sky, with a few "friendly clouds," as the radio guy said, 70s -80s, breezy. I went to the library and then to the park ( Read more... )
