DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES is definitely an addicting show!

In response to "More Reruns"

I watch series from Thailand; but, I need to get out more with the nice weather. 70s and sunny today. I need to cut back on looking at this screen... what am I doing?

I seldom watch US reruns. I was there & then. I don't feel an urge to go back.

In response to "Routines"

I think of it as a game. Some days you make great progress and some days the yard and house fly past you. As they try to sneak ahead, I catch them and warn them to not grow there. Some of them pay attention. The dust bunnies try to hide, but they can be chased out. A broom, vacuum and a hoe are the warrior's weapons.

All I can offer is "good luck" and "best wishes" that the troops stay in line. Maybe little vacations an hour or day at a time. And maybe the weeds and dust will take a short break with you. They're lazy without wind and water. Of course, that means you have to negotiate with Mother Nature.

It may not be fun until you make it so.

In response to "Safe Driving for Experienced Drivers"

It's probably a good refresher to take the course. Heck, I'd do it myself to save a couple of bucks on Insurance. Insurance is crazy in California. A lot of companies have left because our insurance laws are wild. Glad you have that option.

In response to "Low sodium Cooking"

Sounds like a pretty tasty dinner, although I have no idea how quinoa would impact the flavor. I, too, probably spend more time than is good for me at my computer - although, to be fair, just because my status is "Online" doesn't mean I'm actually in front of the screen - I get a bit of exercise chasing after my grandson. Do what you can to feel better, and to feel better about how you feel.

In response to "Cleaning Produce"

I had no idea fruits and veggies were so dirty. Yuck. I'm pretty good about washing my veggies & fruits too, but vinegar seems a bit extreme. I'd have to research it for myself to see what the benefits were and if the effort was worth it. Thanks for sharing. Food for thought!

In response to "where Do You Find Hope?"

Heck, I think all the above are great places to find hope. I can honestly say I've hope in Jesus, his words, his story. I can definitely find hope in my children. Nature, for me is more inspiring, but watching the Big Bear Eaglets and animals/birds in nature leaves me with good feelings and hopeful feelings.

People, when they do the right thing, always leave me with hope, I suppose because it's not easy to do the right thing. Someone lost their wallet in the grocery store parking. Did you turn it in and leave the money in there when you did?

For me, Good things, Good deeds, Small gestures of kindness leave hope. Positive actions leave hope. Reading a romance and getting that happy ending leave me hopeful.

I agree - hope is all around us if we open our eyes.

All the best
Steph

In response to "Minor Celebration"

I have 42 steps. Far too many if I have heart issues but my neighbor gets Meals-on-Wheels and I believe home-delivery of groceries. So... I could too if need be. I've thought about it.

I could do 7 steps one at a time. Maybe. I'm very careful bending over. I tend to sit when putting pants or socks on.

Behaving...

In response to "Absence"

Yep. The recuperation period is essential. The do's like walking, the don'ts like no driving. You seem prepared. I have 42 steps so I'd be bound to pacing this floor.

I tend to write when I'm bored and not traveling. I could catch up on that (which is what I've been doing this past week).

You don't mention the procedure but we have a wonderful place in town that puts in stents. I may need to have that done.

Slow Progress is Still Progress

Today I wanted to celebrate. My pulse was 41!

The only time I felt a little off balance was when I tossed some clean wet sweat pants over the shower rod to dry. I stumbled backwards into the bathroom sink. I decided it was time to change out of house slippers into real shoes. I had on compression socks and was otherwise dressed: I had just balked at shoes. The only reason I had this incident was that my laundry room is downstairs where I can't go. A family member had washed a load of casual clothes, but didn't have time to run the dryer. I said I need clean clothes. "Bring them up here and I will hang them." I can only blame myself and be thankful I went backwards at the correct angle.

Another plus for recovery time is that no one cares how you look. Wrinkled, super casual. All okay as long as they're not stained or smelly. I can remember wearing nice clothes to the doctor's office, but no one seems to do that any longer.

I think I will eventually stop griping. Either things will get better or I will learn to live with them as they are.
