Making of Monday

Adding the cuffs.

So today was a busy one.

I got up way later that I hoped. Still it wasn’t too hot so Kali and I walked our mile. She was so slow. I don’t know what was up. She usually loves her walks. So it was way slower than usual. My app didn’t record it. I listened to a podcast that my daughter introduced me to. It kept my mind busy so the walk was painless.

My friends and I have challenged each other to watch all of Marvel Universe in timeline order. My husband has joined. We are now on Ironman 3. I think this is my favorite of the Ironmen. By the way, you can find this order on Disney +.

I seem more tired since getting back. I had to take a nap. I usually do well on a 20 minuter. But I went far over. I was 1/2 hour late for my recorder class.

Luckily,  I have a few lessons on my own before finding the class so it was review. I’m sure my advance will fade in the next two lessons. It was fun to be in a class with second graders to folks my age. I think that is the best kind of class. Be on the level of learning not peer groups.

Within a 1/2 hour of the end of recorder class was my writers group. I love the people in that group. Such a creative bunch. There are published authors to challenge all of us.

Now back to Ironman.

Home At Last

Yesterday (actually today but I plan to schedule this for tomorrow) my daughter drove me home. It was so nice to spend the extra time together. We listened to these podcasts:

Sorry for the bad quality shot but I felt that would be the easiest way to look up the podcasts. Type the second line in the Google.

The following is as we entered the heavy smoke of the Bootleg Fire. Sorry about the chatter and podcasts in the background.

I feel badly that my daughter has to drive home alone and go back through that smoke. But then there are people who live there some of my writers group live there. Send prayers and healthy thoughts.

One-Liner Wednesday

Progress is addicting!

The more I am able to get done the harder it is to quit and go play games. It’s working! 😀 Music studio and vlog studio to be finished soon! Yay! Plus other things are somehow getting done without thinking. I love it when it works like that! Case in point, a sink I didn’t plan on cleaning got shining!

Thank you, Linda G. Hill for One-liner Wednesdays. Nice to have a day I don’t have to write as much. LOL!

Sunday Funday

Most of today has been slow and cinematic.

My friends and I decided to start watching the Marvel movies in chronological order. So today Captain America.

I don’t want to give spoilers. And you may not want my feminist point of view. If you like lots of noise, fighting, and only one woman… Even that is more than I meant to say, it is a fun diversion.

My recent binge after Doctor Who, and Torchwood has been The Sarah Jane Adventures. These are fun.

I still need to find the classic Whos but I wanted to finish the modern stuff first.

I still have recorders to play. Too dark for piano but Kalimba might finish the night.

Still No Internet

So frustrating. But piano, recorder, books , SLOW data on phone will get me by.

Hope you are all okay.

No Internet

Our area is experiencing an outage.

See you all tomorrow!

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, roc

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! ❤❤❤

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “roc.” Find a word with “roc” in it or use it as a word all by itself. Enjoy!

Ich Bin Müde!

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.  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.  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!

One-Liner Wednesday, A to Z Challenge, R

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.

Review: 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

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.
