Club Sheba Holiday Edition

Hi Sheba.

The paperwork is OK. I made a phone call to our Accountant and everything was taken care of back in April and September. Nothing to worry about at this point. Yippee!!!!

Shoelady left a message and I answered. I noticed she was on line when I signed on and went directly to Community. This is one time I can honestly say that “great minds think alike.” Also, great minds work miraculously together and get things done and most problems solved.

I am having a dither of a time with the mouse and keyboard. Decided to purchase a new one and it should be here by Monday or Tuesday. It’s really difficult to play games in the Arcade and the keyboard skips. Also, the keyboard lettering is slowly disappearing. Husband does “hunt and you shall make an error.” He doesn’t type without looking.

Went to the bank this afternoon and then when we returned home I decided to check on the transactions. Nothing came up. We had a new teller and it was his first day on the job. I will check on everything first thing in the AM and then follow up with a phone call if nothing jives. I fear hubby’s dementia may be a bit worse because I let him do everything and he didn’t do a double check. Our computers here do not have a mike or camera, so doing anything from home is impossible. The one in New England has those capabilities plus. Anyway, this should be the worse of our problems.

Hang in there. Put your feet up and get some rest. That’s my orders for today. I was hoping he wouldn’t have to go out to the doctor’s office or for anything. Wish that dose could be given at home, but surmise he will be monitored through the ordeal. Be prepared that he may stay over night just in case. Glad he is feeling a bit better. Once the pains subside, it will be almost a home run. Once the breathing is better and he can keep from running to the bathroom and the nausea leaves then it’s definitely a homer. If TV helps with the boredom a real good sign. But, do not do your dancing until everything comes together. Covid has many angles and as I said previously, good one day, good the next and then wham it hits you again. Try to stay calm.

Hi ladies. Here is the latest: hubby is a “tad” better, comes and goes. His PCP must have some clout. Yesterday, she said she was signing him up for a lottery for infusions. Evidently they are limited throughout the country (??). They are for older people with underlying conditions who have not been admitted to the hospital. She called this morning to say he is in. It is an intravenous antibody infusion and must be given within 7-10 days of symptoms. Tomorrow is my husband’s tenth day since onset. The injection takes 1-1/2 hours and you have to wait one hour after in case of any reaction. I’m not real sure what the drug is but would be similar to what they gave Trump and the golfer Greg Norman just had it done last weekend.

I can’t remember seeing my husband this sick. He got through his heart surgery better than this covid. And he is not a martyr. He always says he’s fine when he really isn’t. This is serious stuff up close and personal. I pray tomorrow works and keeps him out of the hospital. Thanks for all your prayers and wishes. Will let you know how it goes.💗💕💗

Know Your Food

Eating close to the earth, connects us to her as we allow her to nourish our bodies.

The food we eat is a multidimensional aspect of our lives. Food provides us with the energy that enables us to grow and prosper. Yet it can be, and frequently is, much, much more. Our food can be an experience in and of itself if we allow it to be. The dishes we remember from childhood offer unmatched comfort. The act of preparing meals can be an art form of the highest caliber. And the nourishment we derive from this fare promotes wellness within us. But many of us, distracted by daily affairs, forget that the profound pleasures of eating go beyond simple sustenance. We eat foods that are convenient or we eat unconsciously, snacking on whatever happens to be on hand. To understand the true value of food and the impact it can have on our lives, we should acknowledge and honor it by eating close to the earth.

If you have ever shelled and eaten garden-grown peas or bitten into a sun-warmed apple freshly plucked from its tree, you likely understand that there is a marked difference between these foods and those that are processed and stacked on supermarket shelves. Food recently picked contains more of its original life force and thus has a greater store of energy and nutrients. You can ensure you are eating close to the earth–and enjoying the many benefits of doing so — by shopping at a local farmers market and getting to know the individuals who grow your food. If you make the experience of shopping in this way enjoyable, you will be more apt to reject more convenient canned, packaged, and frozen foods in favor of the real delight you feel while browsing stalls of fresh foods nourished by the same soil you can find in your own backyard. You will soon learn what foods are in season in your area and how to prepare them.

As you savor the vivid flavors of juicy ripe fruits and the hearty crunch of unprocessed vegetables, you can also take pleasure in the fact that, by eating close to the earth, you are supporting farmers in your region, connecting with your local ecosystem, discouraging those who would waste precious fossil fuels by carting produce cross-country, and helping to preserve healthy culinary traditions that have existed for centuries. 😘😎
