So sorry about the ring. Since Heidi was on just a couple of days ago, the ring may still be seen but would say sold out. If you do see this, you can still put it into your favorites and hope someone returns it. Her jewelry is made so well, that I doubt it was returned for any workmanship, but rather size or a dislike. Also, some of her necklaces look heavy, but are not. But, I do understand where you are coming from. Definitely put the ring into favorites and if it is returned in your size then you can make the decision whether to purchase or not.

I’ve been home an hour and had to eat something first. I either eat with hubby or before I leave home. Anyway, I am a happy camper tonight. Around 8 pm hubby started feeling cold from the A/C. Said he wanted to go undercover to get warm, so I used the call button to contact the nurse’s station. The male nurse arrived within seconds and he could see hubby needed to get into bed. Hubby tried to get out of the wheelchair, but couldn’t. So he helped him on to the bed. From that point, hubby was able to move his legs on to the bed. Though he huffed and puffed following, it was great to see. It has been months since he was able to move both feet.

Tomorrow I am hoping to do some shopping at the Farmer’s Market. It is habanero and mango week. Everything is made fresh on the premises. I am thinking that your hubby would love to be here. They will have tons of samples to try. Love that there is no preservatives in their food.

I think I mentioned previously that I do not purchase the meats or fish at Aldi’s. That also goes for your regular markets and Walmart. Seems more and more businesses are using a plastic see through sealer on their packaging. If you read the label, you will notice that the item is good for two weeks on the shelf. This tells me that there is something in the packaging to keep the food fresh for that length of time. If you read the label, there are actually words that are not only difficult to spell, but hard to pronounce as well. These could be preservatives and for me, why take chances.

Hope you had a wonderful day. Good night.

Oodie, Congratulations on your lovely necklace. The beads look so pretty as well.
Yes, saw your post. Thank you for checking up on me. I was referring to the ring.
Ir is gone and vanished. It’s ok. I ended up purchasing the initial necklace.
The Frog Prince necklace is lovely but too big for me.
My neck can only handle light necklaces.

Sorry you are having so much trouble with a urology appt. Are they that busy? I have heard there are some Doctor shortages. Maybe it’s time to look for other options. Your hubs sounds like he is doing a bit better and sorry about his roommate. You handled that like a loving wife.
Take care. Btw, I always wonder how many miles you would log a day with a fit bit? You are always very active.

Sheba, run? I had to stop from a distance and take a picture and then text it to my husband. By then the snake scurried off. I will run from anything hissing.
Went back today and only 1-2 ppl were out at that time.
Now I am tired as can be.

Hubs and son feel better today.

Our Birthdays are coming up. I can’t believe how old I am. Yikes, maybe it’s time for some denial. I’m 27 in my head.
Hope you have some fun plans.

Xango, hope your back feels better soon.

@oodiebom,

I hope you are getting some good sleep. I will check on you in the morning.

Stay cool turn that A/C on it is hot all over. I hope your husband had a very good day.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy what you do and stay cool. ✨✨

@xango,

I am so sorry please just rest I understand back pain I have had it in the past.
I am so glad you don’t have to cook and if you did all you have to do is go to your
fridge. Still this is hard when it is hot.

Thank you for posting just take it easy and let us know if you need some kind of
treatment.

Good evening Sheba, how’s everything 😊?

I am a bit under the weather. Woke up with my back in pain. Taking a deep breath and trying to move around makes it difficult. The pain is on both sides of the back, from top to bottom. I had this before, it comes and goes. But this time is very painful.

Didn’t cook today, just sandwiches and snacks for me. Hubby already has his cook cooked for the week.

Take care Sheba 🌹

Did you see my post to you concerning the “Frog prince” necklace. It’s still available and on sale. It’s Item #845412.

So sorry that there was a snake on your hiking path. Guess it was late afternoon when they begin to come out. We have a snake that sits under our hibiscus bush near our driveway. I now get the water I need during the day, rather than at night due to their hissing sounds.

Hope hubby and son are feeling better. Could be the heat and also being hydrated.

Have a great day.

Oh how I hate Mondays. Just got off the phone with Urology. I was on hold for almost 20 minutes. I do not know why getting an appointment for the bladder is taking so long. The rehab has people in the wings who can help hubby on and off the bed. Most of the help at rehab wear masks all day. Anyway, they will either contact me or the head nurse/unit mgr.

I do not know why Sam’s Club does not add more pumps. The lines would certainly move faster. I have had no problems with Costco. In and out and on my next adventure in no time. For the most part, after waiting so long, I probably had enough gas to drive to Costco. Just didn’t want to take any chances.

Hubby ate his ice cream and everything else went by the wayside. When I left he still had a Reuben and onion rings to feast upon and also the ice cream I couldn’t finish. I also made sure he had water on the tray table. I will write later.

It is very hot and humid. The temp is in the 90s and the humidity is up there as well. It may rain sometime this afternoon. I will not be holding my breath on this one. Not absolutely positive that it rained near our home. Rain is sporadic and does not always cover the entire area. Rain yesterday seemed to be between Costco and Carver’s. Going West towards Rehab, rain seemed to stop. There were no puddles in the driveway.

Staying Grounded in a Big City or Busy World

For a more grounded life, choose not to get caught up in the fast-paced world around you.

1. Live simply and deliberately. By choosing not to get caught up in the details of this fast-paced world, you are doing your part to slow down the rat race and quell consumerism. You will also discover that you have more time to enjoy being alive.

2. Stay in touch with yourself. Soul searching, meditation, and journaling are just a few of the many activities you can take part in to stay aware and learn as much as you can about your emotions, reactions, likes, dislikes, dreams, and fears. Having a solid sense of self gives you a firm foundation for living in this world.

3. Support or teach others as often as you can. This can help you form connections with people while also giving you an opportunity to make the world a better place.

4. Consciously choose what you will allow into your being. The media bombards us with visions of hate, war, and pain. Be judicious about what you read, watch, and listen to.

5. Acknowledge the beauty that resides around you. Whether you live in a sprawling metropolis or a stereotypical suburb, there are natural and man-made wonders just waiting to be discovered by you.

6. Nurture your ties to your community. If you don’t have one, create one that you can belong to. Modern life can be isolating. When you have a community, you have a circle that you are a part of. Its members – loved ones, friends, or neighbors – can be a source of support, caring, guidance, and companionship.

7. See the larger picture. Remember that the way you choose to live is not the only way to live. Widen your perspective by exploring other modes of being through research, travel, and discussion.

8. Embrace the challenges that life presents to you, and challenge yourself often. After a time, even the most exciting jobs or lifestyles can seem routine. Never stop assimilating new knowledge about whatever you are doing, and your life will never seem dull.

9. Move your body. In this busy world, it can be easy to live a sedentary life. Movement reacquaints us with our bodies and connects us to the earth in a visceral way. It also restores our vitality.

10. Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude. The world can be noisy, and we are subject to all kinds of noises nearly every waking hour. We are also often on the go and unable to relax. Being alone in a peaceful place and making time for quiet can help you stay in touch with yourself.

Enjoy what you do. 😎✨

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten please be well. 🌹✨I still think of you.
