Noooooooooooo!

I knew I didn’t want to step on the scale. I can’t believe it, I gained two pounds. Excuse me while I go to a corner, curl into a ball, and sob.
I’ll do another ten miles on the bicycle later today. Weights and yoga sufficed yesterday. I did get G to join the gym so I’ll have an exercise buddy at least twice a week.
I won’t let this beat me. Next weigh in is in a week…
You all have a good one.

If things are put away properly I can find them…

I finally got my automatic wrist blood pressure monitor reset. Couldn’t reset the darned thing for the life of me and couldn’t find the instructions anywhere. Yesterday, I came across the box it came in, stashed on a shelf in the cellar way, below the upstairs stair treads, and found the instructions inside the box. They were not in the drawer where I keep all my small appliance, large appliance, and other directions.
At last, I can remove the blood pressure readings from over a year ago to now and can start fresh! It was never fun to see the scary readings from the day I had the heart attack. Now those are gone. Yay!
There’s also that problem of what reading belongs to which person…hmmm. Yes, the time had come to clear the memory. Heck, the time had come and gone numerous times.
Now when the Doctor asks me if I’ve been keeping track I can tell him “yes, and this is what the last three readings were,” am I not amazing? <Giggle>
You all have a good one!

I have come to the conclusion that I may have been low on potassium for a while and then had it bottom out earlier this week. Now with all the potassium pumped into me since the ambulance run, I am finding I am having a slow upswing in energy. Interesting.
The Curmudgeon was reading one of his MS magazines and came across an article on vitamin D. He realizes that since he seldom goes outside he’s probably very low on it. He started taking supplements a week ago and says he feels better the last few days.
Both of us and the pups are both enjoying the cool nights. We’ve turned off the ac and opened the windows. I do believe we are all sleeping deeper.
You all have a good one!

Lovely day for walk.

Yesterday was the perfect weather for a walk in the park. It was warm but we had a lovely breeze to keep us from over heating. The humidity we’ve had lately was gone, hurrah!
We did the short route though because G’s knee was bothering her but we did get in a mile and a half. I do enjoy our park and hated to see what Saturday’s storm did there. We were checking out the storm damage while we walked. There were several trees that lost large branches.
G says quite a few trees in the cemetery sustained some damage too. Her husband is working to help clear the many downed branches.
When we arrived home the pups wanted me to take them out in the yard, they too are enjoying the change in the weather.
You all have a good one!
