My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

I feel the pain. Some days I can rewrite. Some days I just give up.

In response to "Prices"

I live in south-central Missouri, and contrary to what the politicians are claiming, our grocery prices have indeed gone up since the beginning of the year. I shouldn't have to search for the bargain basement price of the off-brand of a specific food that I used to buy, but can't afford now. In our case, WalMart has discontinued carrying many of the higher cost items. My wife does frequent the local Farmer's Market for a few bargains.

Sorry for the rant.

In response to "Never Ending Yard Work, thankfully"

We worked in our front yard also today. I pulled weeds around the Crabby-Apple tree, she replanted flowers that we bought a couple of weeks ago. I've learned to enjoy 'watching the grass grow', but more than that, I love watching the bees, butterflies, and once in a while, a Hummingbird flitter around our small garden. Glad you do too!

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!

A Slow Return

I am moving around one floor of my house as I feel like it. Slow to be sure. My blood pressure is low. My pulse is in the 30's. I am trying to be low sodium, but some friends have brought me food out of the kindness of their hearts, with no regard to sodium. My taste buds are altering and I cant stand salty food any more. They were told in advance, but I guess most people don't know how to think low or no salt.

My doctor has warned me about standing or sitting too fast and getting swimmy headed. I can't drive for another week, but I don't want to unless my vitals get better. There's no leaking inside my heart which is crucial to this whole ordeal. It will be a while before I start to feel normal they tell me. Maybe by summer, I'll have renewed energy. One can hope.

Meanwhile I have excuses for prolonged rerun watching, crosswords, etc. I can't bend to pick up things I drop, so I have an excuse to have a messy house for a week or so. I'm too spaced out to read.

Provided healing does happen, the day of reckoning will happen.
