Use It or Lose It

Due to my lifelong disability of Spinal Muscular Atrophy my hands are extremely weak.  I was taking notes the other day on something and realized I don’t write as well as I used to.  These days I use the computer for most everything and so pen and paper are rarely used. Continue reading this post…

Keeps Me Coming Back

It’s like winter here today, cold, windy and rainy.  Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay home because we had to go to the grocery store.  There’s a Basha’s supermarket near us that we go to often.  Continue reading this post…

They’re Never Clean Enough

I have been wearing prescription glasses for over 2 years now and I must say I have a love-hate relationship with them.  First of all, it’s hard to find something that works well and looks good and doesn’t cost a fortune.  Discount prescription glasses are on my radar these days.  I’m always looking at other people’s prescription glasses to see how they look and fit.

Just Got To Get Out

Today was one of those days when I just needed to get out of the house.  So my husband took me to one of our favorite eateries for lunch.  One of the servers came by, who we had not seen in a while, to chat with us.  Poor thing was telling us about her recent auto accident in her brand-new car.  Fortunately it wasn’t her fault and her auto insurance company was taking care of everything regarding repairs on the vehicle as well as her medical bills.  I’m glad she wasn’t seriously hurt, but you can’t be too careful with back and neck injuries.

It was a beautiful day to be out and I’m glad we got to go.  Thanks honey!

Dental Update

A while back I wrote about my dental woes.  Well, I was hoping to have some news today about the possibility of getting something done soon, but no news.  Quite frankly I’m really getting sick of eating soft foods.  I hardly eat sweets as well and some people might think that I’m losing weight by using some diet pill like phentermine.  Unfortunately I’m not losing weight.  Fortunately I’m not taking diet pills either.

Sally’s Secret

The other day I was recalling my college years in San Diego.  I was quite active in my church young adult group and had several friends that I hung around.  One of those was a young woman I’ll call Sally (not her real name).  She was a friend of a friend and would go out with my group of friends occasionally.  Susan was an outgoing person who became an RN.  A lot of us girls didn’t date very much, but I remember Susan often had dates.  What struck me about Susan was that she had a problem with eczema that was quite bad on her arms and legs.  But she never seem to let it bother her.  I don’t know if she was getting any kind of eczema treatments.  I think the reason why she had dates and a lot of us girls didn’t was because of her self-confidence.  When you feel confident with who you are and you don’t let the way you look bother you, it usually doesn’t bother other people either.  There’s a lesson to be learned there.

Different Air.

In so much as I’m filling in for DigitalKaren, I’m finding thoughts are taking me back to Denver where it’s a Mile High and the air is different.  Thinner to be exact.  One had to be careful cooking, but most other things for example, acne products, work just as well. Continue reading this post…
