INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Chevy- given where I live, I am big into drinking fluids all the time. By the time you get thirsty here, you may be in serious trouble.

I went to a health workshop years back and remember the guy teaching it saying "the two biggest problems as people age are loss of balance and dehydration." Yoga helps me with my balance. Water helps me keep my fluids up!

Morning back at ya!! Yes, I've heard of Dunedin New Zeland. A poster on Cats is from NZ, we had a good laugh.

Getting ready for fall, a cool front is gonna knock out the oppressive humidity!! Yay!!!

We recently got everything out of storage.....sold some stuff in a garage sale, gave a lot to a charity. So much had accumulated over the years. Both parents gone...had been keeping way too much and never saw any of it over there. I had to get tough and get rid of so much. My kids are interested in having old glassware etc. I should have packed it up and shipped Sas. Going through all of my closets....slowly. Already passing out my diamonds and good jewelry. My new daughter in law had my sons wedding band made up with my diamonds. What a very sweet thing to do. Much rather they enjoyed them while I am alive.

The storage was over $100 a month. Trying to get things in line so our kids don't have to deal with so much stuff when my hubby and I are deceased.

Of course, I needed stuf out of my thinned down craft closet as soon as I got rid of it.

Most definitely "capable". A couple of times yesterday, I ended up standing at the nurses' station with my IV drip wheepling, staring very hard at them.

Or at least don't let the hospital staff smell the water bottle.. But I admit nothing. (One of the nurses last night teased me about not providing a towel for my shower, after about the third time I mentioned it. (I wanted a shower REAL BAD.) to which I responded "Fine! I'll just stand in my nothing at all up at the nurses' station and drip dry." She laughed.)

But I'm getting SPRUNG TODAY.

Queen- so glad to hear you are getting out of the hospital. Wishing you a comfortable day at home of rest.

queenie, glad you're going home. Hug your house today:)

The Queen has paraded home to her garden and her cats. The cats seemed mildly interested for about thirty seconds. The garden? Well, I've got a pile of bulbs to plant.

Chevy: pretty much that, yes.

Wow Jazzy, that looks yummy! I am coming over for dinner. You could live to 100 with the way you are living -eating healthy, keeping yourself hydrated, and doing yoga. I could see you doing this in your 80's

Or this

On second thought, I think you are missing one other key ingredient

Rosie, hope you can find a tutor for DD3 soon...poor kid. Heartbreaking what she said. It's interesting how some people are better in math and some are better in language. My younger Dd is stronger in math and older in language. Did you know that there are excercises to help a person use both side of the brain? My BIL, a retired teacher, would have his students do the excercise before lessons. One example is drawing an infinity symbol with both hands in the air....interesting approach

Loveroflife- but I don't want to live to be 100! LOL! Doing the best I can to take care of myself and perhaps better than I ever have before. I got a bunch of healthy food at the farmers market today and then stopped at the health food store for the rest. Getting back on track with a better diet after my travels.

Love that photo of the dancing.

JWoo, So good to hear from you. Don't be gone so long, next time.

Howdy,

Trying to catch up. Great photos Jazzy.

Great to see Jwoo & Tang....

Rose, how is the dress coming along?

Susan, cute hat.

I am out of town, again. Last trip for awhile. Still getting settled.

Smarty, I will catch up on words in a few days. On my phone, left IPad at home.

Hootie Hoo to you know who !
