Oh, dear, dear diary.

It's been a few days since I posted my quest to improve. After my last post there was a flurry of activity in my area.

One night my man collapsed in the powder room; got up too fast and went down when his BP bottomed out. He put his head and shoulder through the wall and banged various parts in the process. Long story short, he's fine and even went to the gym 2X this week. Learned he can't jump up from bed which is something I am guilty of as well. Old dogs, new tricks.

Today we fairly completed the repair. I'll finish the fine details then paint. This drew the completion of another small project in the powder room and it will look newly enhanced. Busy!

Everyone around us seems to have some cough or sneeze. Two of my grands have ear infections; odd because they are older. One of these viruses going around causes good clogging in Eustachian tubes, I guess. I feel healthy as a horse! I still mask in crowded places.

The IF is going well, my food choices slacked in wellness with DH's fall. My nerves were shot for a few days and my sleep was off. Today was a new day and even tomorrow will be better.

I hope all is well in the rest of the blogishpere!

    Keep on masking, and keep away from the coughing, sneezing hoards!

    What a load of drama with DH and the dizzy spell. Glad he's OK, and it was just that old "positional vertigo", I presume?

    Completed repairs and a refresh in the process... awesome! Even if your food choices slacked, if you kept the fasting hours going, you're doing OK. There is no wagon to climb on or fall off, according to the book I last read on the topic!

    All's well here, and I'm breathing a sigh for the arrival of the weekend! We are supposed to see 50 F over the weekend, although Friday is still cloudy and chill.

      Yes, simply getting up too fast.
      Colder here today although I walked. I found a new way in my development that isn't as elevation-challenged. Nice walk and so far no hamstring complaints!

      Well, that story was scary as Heck. So glad his hubby's head is okay. Like Benny, he must be a hard-head. LOL. I recently have been sitting on the side of the bed when I get up too.

      Benny and I are the Lone Rangers in this area. Often the only ones masked. We neither one feel we can risk getting anything else.

      I am dealing with some sciatica which let up today. No rest for the wicked.

      LOL. Still hobbling around here like a 70 year old. I wanted better at 70. LOL.

 I know, I know. I'm getting slow at posting trip info. As a matter of fact, I haven't printed my photo books from my 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 trips. I've a photo book from every trip taken since 2002. Sometimes twice a year if we made smaller trips. My priorities have changed, I guess.  Well, now...our first stops. Americana in Bedford PA. once made the list as the world's biggest coffee pot. The handle is on the other side. My SIL and BIL as models. We traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana in search of other oddities.  The Colgate Clock is one of the largest clocks in the world. It works. We visited  Schimpff's Confectionery,  since 1891,  one of the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned candy businesses in the United States. It was exactly as advertised. Best chocolate I've ever had! The Big Four Bridge is a local favorite as a walkway to Louisville Kentucky. We enjoyed it at night after a nice dinner on the river in Jeffersonville. My favorite in Indi...

 How am I, you may wonder. Pretty good! I am still following the diet prescribed by the MDs and dietician and only adding a thing or two back in weekly. I have discovered a lot of other things about my food and myself. I don't need all the ........(insert something here). Just because the label states the whole can of tuna is one serving, doesn't mean I have to eat the whole can; 1/3 does nicely.  The slice of farmhouse bread, toasted, is just fine cut in half instead of using two slices.  Pickles taste the same even when the peels are removed. I am living without a lot of cheese, my previous staple. Living without second helpings as well.  Eventually I will be able to exchange all this 'white food' for higher fiber veggies and grains. The result is I've lost 11 pounds since the end of January. I don't feel deprived.  Huh.

 Dear Diary, Missed you! I've not been of a mind to post anything. I purchased several of the books OKM was reading as we have similar tastes. I dove into the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book and read it from cover to cover. It was a better read for me than Bright Line Eating, I feel both authors put too much personality in them. I'm a more scientific approach, give me the facts, girl. To me Thompson comes on a bit haughty, Stephens' writing puts me in a 6th grade classroom. Sigh. I've gotten over myself. Just when I hit my 2 week attempt at IF, I spent multiple weeks in the throes of diverticulitis with a few days R&R in the hospital. I called them my spa days. Didn't have to care for DH and didn't care that I couldn't. The only thing missing was a mud pack and a massage. Their kitchen choices were not up to my standards even on a clear liquid diet. My martini was missing. Morphine is nice. I've never been cursed with this before, I've considered my di...
