Sheba, one more day….

Hope you have some fun plans and wow, another year!

Here’s an early Happy Birthday to you!
🥳 🍾🍹🎂

@sheba2011

Good morning. It’s after 3 am and I fell asleep while reading some news in bed. I awoke to brush teeth and to get into pjs. Went to Costco today to pick up a few things and to get gas. I was stunned when I was at the gas area to find gas was $3.59 which was just $.30 less than all of the gas stations including the ones near the rehab. I picked gas up last week and it was $3.18, I grocery shop weekly and as of now I will be curtailing that adventure whenever possible.

Yesterday, I answered your question on the urology appointment. It’s under the Wednesday posts. However, I will reiterate. I never received the call from Urology and decided to wait until I reached the Rehab to see if the nurse had contacted the head nurse/office mgr.. When I arrived, I was greeted with “I have the info on the appointment.” Hubby will have the bladder test on the 14th and the follow up on the 18th. I am hoping that everything is in working order. The main reason why the Rehab has him with the catheter is because he takes too long in the bathroom. There are other areas he can use and one is across from his room. The other one is in the lobby which one uses a key. In all fairness, if he was able to walk, it would not have been a problem and at the time he was not aware of other facilities.

Costco has reduced quite a few clothing for summer. I was able to pick up shorts for hubby and a few knock around tops for me. Unlike some other warehouses, there is no shrinkage when washed in warm water. Looks like they are saving a small area for books. I love being able to sit in an area getting engrossed in a novel while hubby was doing his thing. It’s like being transported to different areas of Earth and for some reason I feel like I’ve been on a mini awaycation.

I also got a good jolt when Fem and TACI learned that their birthday is on the same day. I felt the same way as TACI for many years. I believe I mentioned that both of us were members of the Lions Club. When hubby was about to become a Vice District Governor, we had a meeting in MA. to learn what that year was about. There were members from New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Ct. , R.I.. This was a three day event that ran from Friday thru Sunday. On the last day all the wives gathered in the lobby where we had an opportunity to get to know one another. The person sitting next to me was from New Hampshire. Found out she was married the same year as us and the same day. Imagine that!!!!!. Sitting next to her was one of the wives from Ct. (Ct. was divided into three districts: A, B and C). Hubby was District C and the other person sitting next to New Hampshire was District B. We started chatting next about birthdays. Lo and Behold the wife from B was born on the same day as me. What a coincidence that was. And all of us celebrated our anniversaries and birthdays up until a few years ago when their husbands passed almost at the same time. It’s a “small world” after all.

As I left Costco a miracle happened. I felt a few raindrops as I was loading the van with all the goodies. On the way to the Rehab the skies opened up. What a downpour. But just 4 miles from Costco absolutely nothing until I unloaded with the food items and used the DBest. As I was walking to the entrance, the skies started to open up, but I didn’t get wet or felt a drop. They had their awning up and so I was under cover when things changed. And another miracle, it also rained at our home. Loads of puddles. But, unfortunately, we still have a drought situation. But this was a good beginning. When I was going through the rain, I thought of “Raindrops on Roses….”

Have a great day. Hope your neighbor is feeling better and you have a chance for a visit.

Hello Sheba, how are you doing? ☺️

It’s always nice to have hubby working from home. Of course it has its disadvantages for me. I can’t make any noise, and I turned down house phone. He does work more hours at home.
He starts earlier than he actually have to, doesn’t take time off for lunch. He eats his lunch at his desk and sometimes stay on the computer later than he has to helping other workers when its time to quit. Next week he will be driving to work again.

I found a Brazilian store in Amazon, it carries some products I like. I ordered a tapioca called Sagu large tapioca pearls. It’s for a Brazilian dessert made with red wine. And it’s served with a vanilla cream sauce. I noticed they also use one small package of Tang grape 🍇 juice in powder form, to make the pearls more darker grape color.

Take care Sheba 🌹

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. ✨🌹

Moving forward..😎😘

Rediscovering Dance

Our bodies were made to move and flow, and within our movement we find a deeper connection to our bodies and the earth.

As children, most of us were encouraged to dance on a regular basis, freely and openly, in whatever way felt best. A few of us may have retained or regained our ability to engage in dancing unselfconsciously, but by the time we reach adulthood, many of us have stopped dancing altogether. We may have hang-ups about our bodies, or we may fear being judged. Then again, we may simply have fallen out of the habit for so long that we don’t even realize we never dance anymore. Whatever the case, there’s no time like now to rediscover the healing pleasure of moving your body to music—alone, as part of a couple, or in a group. Opportunities to dance abound, once you start looking for them.

If you haven’t danced in a long time and feel too self-conscious to start in a public situation, find some time alone to reintroduce yourself to the joy of listening and responding to music with your body. Turn the lights down low and remember that it’s much more fun when you’re not thinking about what you look like. It won’t take long before your body remembers how much it loves to move. Feel the music in your soul, feel the vibrations healing your body. Treat the time like a meditation session in which you agree to allow yourself to fully inhabit your amazing body.

If you feel awkward, remember that every culture since time immemorial has celebrated life and the body with dance. All people carry the memory of dance in their blood and bones. In other words, you were born to do this, it is in you already; all you have to do is start moving. If you prefer more interaction, take a class one night a week. In most cities, you can find everything from modern dance to African dance to ballroom and salsa. Whatever you choose, you won’t regret choosing to rediscover your birthright—the healing, joyful thrill of dancing.

AMEN! ✨😎
