It is early-- 7am-- I was up at 6am , well, 5-30 am--I had to get the wash in--and into the dryer- before 7am---saves $$$$$---- All these rules eh? --kinda drives one crazy--
And--yesterday, my brand new Dr called "ME"---- He is easy to talk to--I like him--- I told him about the poor heart, chugging along on that eco-cardio machine--slushing and sloshing-- and that I felt so sorry for the heart on the screen--(my heart)- which has chugged away for now almost 81 yrs--with me addicted to ice cream--(I never spoke of that!) He did say my thyroid was lower than it should be so increased the thyroid pill--
I told him also that I did not see a fetus on that eco screen--Praise the Lord!-It sure looked like the screen where one sees a fetus floating -- We had a chuckle over that----So---I started the new thyroid pill this morning, which , in time, should boost my energy level--
Oh--I lost another half a pound-- down 5.5 pounds since I stopped the "ice cream diet"-- to help the old heart----- (Just think of it!-- Your heart begins to chug away --when you are born---- and never stops--all your life- and all that bad ice cream doesn't help the poor thing!---- )
The Dr, did tell me that I was in good shape at me age-- (Of course-I never spoke of the ice cream diet) -- Thin thoughts --try to think that--help YOUR ol' heart----a healthy diet --celery--veggies--lotza water--no G'ale--
Anyway---time to hit that Dreadmill--
It is a brand new day---and--here we are --a part of it---
Give yourself a Hug--right now---and appreciate "life"
It's Kathy. Your blogs always cheer me up and this morning I really need it. We went to a holiday party last night - they had a DJ and he played the music so loud I couldn't hear the person talking right next to me. Slept lousy and I also got up at 5:30 am which is not in my normal routine. I have to go to my daughters this morning, soon, and I was hoping my husband would offer to drive me but nope - he went back to bed! So I guess I have to be that strong woman you always talk about, put on my big girl panties and drive myself. I wouldn't mind except 2/3's of the drive is on the freeways and people drive so much faster than the speed limit! I'm glad you got some medication to help give more more energy! I hope himself has a good day at Day Care!
ReplyDeleteKathy --- Good for you --to be a strong woman--- hate it tho--- Why is it always us?-=-It's the "why me?" thing--LOL-- but-- good thing we are strong and will always be-- but---- We deserve a whole lot for Xmas just because we are so special--- LOLOL--but--(its not going to happen-=(I bought a new dress tho--=Fred does not know)-- -==-I deserve i--LOLOL--Hugs-Lynda-- Oh--=Dad would tell yu-=-"Keep your chin up!"
DeleteGood for you getting the laundry together early to avoid the higher cost later in the day.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!!! 81! Will be there with bells on to help you celebrate! You are an amazing woman and deserve an amazing day!
Glad you like your new Dr. Hope you don’t have too much trouble getting used to the new dose of thyroid med. Always takes me about 2 weeks to get acclimated.
Hope Himself enjoys his Daycare today. And YOU get to have some me time!
Hugs

Barb--2 weeks eh??? good to know--First time it has ever been raised-- from 150 to 175 so far, haven't noticed any difference--but--its only the first day-just made a huge pot of soup for lunch --maybe supper---going to go pick him up soon --not a lot of time in between--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Hope your day is going well. It is sunny in Ohio. I love it. Rain on Sunday. I am going to put up a new birdhouse today and transplant a hosta while it is nice and in the 50’s. That is early for your laundry but I know you have said it is the best $ time. No fetus! That’s a good thing! LOL You crack me up! I drink pop a couple times a year so I got some G’ale for Christmas. It is my fave. That and ice cream! We are alike. Must be the sagitarius thing we got going on! Hope daycare is fun today and makes Himself happy. Sadie better get going. Enjoy your day. Happy Birthday Eve!:)
ReplyDeleteImagine--You are gardening in December! --Amazing--I LOVE G'ale--- but-it has to be CANADA DRY-but--since watching the poor 81 yr old heart working away, I have not had a G'ale--just cold water-and--NO ICE CREAM-- (my favourite food!)_--Yes--It is Happy Birthday EVE--Pretty funny eh??--Lynda
DeleteYes, Canada Dry! You are doing great!
DeleteLynda, if I could I would send you NON_DAIRY 'nice cream!' Made with almond or oat milk....almost no cholesterol. That's what's wrong with dairy ice cream. I don't want you to feel deprived. The time of your birthday is a good time to make the change.
ReplyDeleteMy laundry room is busy again. It's good you can get yours done early. We cannot use the machines during quite hours. (8 PM to 8 AM).
Since I can't do laundry yet, exercise and washing the kitchen floor are on my list.
Himself will be happy for his outing, and probably take a good nap afterward. Maybe you can catch one, too.
Will post birthday wishes today and tomorrow, too. You are only 4 years older than I am. Here's hoping you have the best birthday in years!
{{{HUGS}}}
I shall look for that ice cream--the kind you told me about--I haven't eaten ice cream since I saw my poor heart on that machine--working away--'Poor old heart! -So--We are 4 years apart--That is nothing eh?----We could be "best friends-"-LOLOL--and-yes-- the big 81----tomorrow--- Holy Cow! And I have an 81 yr old heart!-- LOL--Lynda
DeleteYour daily updates make my Day! You are a jewel! Hugstay strong and smile!s dear lady. I beat you on laundry. Did one load at 3:30 am...insomnia.
ReplyDeleteHugs more hugs and some more from me. You are amazing at 81, an inspiration. If a tad higher thyroid dose gives you more energy...look out world.
Hope Doc enjoys daycare.
Early Birthday Wishes dear lady. Smile and give yourself lots of hugs. Hoping family has a special surprise planned for your BD.
Good job on taking care of YOU

Already seeing results is NICE.

Holy Cow--3-30am--- amazing--and yes. Himself did enjoy his morning at the Day Program--nice and mild to-day with snow melting--Yu gotta love that--Hugs to yu too-Lynda
DeleteHi Lyda: Glad you like your new doctor And sounds like your results were ok.May the change to your thyroid meds help you feel more alive! You're already so energetic - much more than I can do. Glad himself enjoyed the day program today. Relax tonight. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda--It was a good day here--What about there?--I hope it was good for you also-- mild here too-Lynda
DeleteHmm - thinking about the nightly "ice cream" diet and thinkiing he would approve of it more than my nightly "wine diet"!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party today! That sounds like you have a kind and sensible "new" doctor... it's good when they are easy to talk to, and yes, you're in good shape "for your (our) age"! Hope your day went well, as it's getting on toward bedtime here now.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like your new dr. Happy Birthday...I did not see you posting for a party tho?
