A small note.

My cardiology visit was awesome. The medications are working so well that I had no episodes of any of the problems in the 7 days. Carotid scan perfectly normal. I can go on being me for a long time.

😁

Be afraid, be very afraid! LOL

Today DH and (mostly) I took the tank off the toilet and rebuilt the insides. It was a new way for me to pray to the porcelain gods. Crescent wrench in hand, I tightened the nuts on the underside of the tank with my face planted on the very cleaned, yet, mentally gross place between the seat hinges, tank and seat. Next time I get a plumber.

Toilet works like a charm. DH is proud. I'm still grossed out.

    LOL! You are a hero. But still, next time you'll hire one!

    I'm lazy. Any more, I hire them right off the bat.

    Congrats on the good cardio checkup. Be you!

    So happy that your cardio visit went well and that the med is working. Blessings!

    Yup . . . I'm @ the stage where I just call in the expert. Not going to chance a problem! You are excellent to have accomplished that rebuild!

    Great news from the cardiologist!

    I always worry about toilet issues as we have only one bathroom, unlike most people. I had a friend who had to move to assisted living due to plumbing problems. Not what I want at all. You did awesome!! I want to be you when and if I ever grow up.

      I'm afraid I will have to grow up soon. I/hubby are running out of time.

    Fantastic news! and you go girl, on your plumbing repairs. I will be worshipping at my own porcelain throne when they get our new toilet installed at the clinic (nowadays our euphemism is "Visiting our friends at the library")

 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...
