I ask my doctor questions whenever I am prescribed medication.

I am fortunate to have a great pharmacist that has always taken the time to speak with me over the phone or in person.

If they have a new manufacturing company making their meds, they inform me that is why my pills look different.

Nacy,

I am like your mom and check everything before I take it.

Llama,

Many pharmacists do work very long hours. Not as many drugstores are open 24 hours a day now.

I have shrubs that need to be trimmed desperately . It’s been too hot to do it . Car needs to be washed , and garage swept out too . Hopefully later this week I’ll get to it . I’m in an excessive heat warning until Wednesday .
Summer is only good if you have water activities, beach , pool. Otherwise Fall is better .

We are getting more rain this morning and supposedly a drop in temperature tomorrow. I have to roll my eyes at the hyperbole from every weather forecast - "a relief from the sweltering heat" - come on, it may be uncomfortably humid but we haven't even been hitting 30° here.

I could see people leaving the south and moving north . It’s even been predicted that it will happen if the temperatures continue to rise each year .

Anxiety ,

Good for you ! It’s on your Mom , when she is ready she will take pain med .

I’ve been pleased with myself lately , as well , that I have been better about letting go of feeling bad about my MIL’s situation of her choosing.

Perhaps I should toast to her “ right to rot” . !!

We have lost Bob Newhart. He was such a funny man, I always appreciated his dry wit.

My Dad really loved Bob Newhart’s humor . When Dad was sick I got him some DVD’s of his stand up routines .

Dad liked Tim Conway too from Carol Burnett. That was a good show too .

I wanted to let you know how I am doing. I have a new teaching job as an ESL teacher that is ten minutes walking distance from my home. I will be serving Mark with the divorce papers and hopefully have the divorce final within two months.

I realize that I stayed far too long in a marriage that was full of emotional and verbal abuse. Mark is I the ICU getting dialysis daily and his memory is getting worse. He was offered hospice and he again refused. I realize I let myself go in far too many ways and am healing and my mental health is much better.

I guess the best thing is that I did leave and realize that I am a worthy person. I sympathize with Mark and told him the other day I care about him, but the divorce is final. I told him I do not love him, and that made him very angry. He said I quit loving him because he got sick. The truth is, I realized that his being ill highlighted my unhappiness.

I plan on leaving New Mexico for Ohio within a couple years.

The exercise thread has been closed so I'll post this here -
I finally pulled my bike out of the shed but while riding noticed the tire was almost flat so on a whim I biked over to a friend's bike shop to see if he'd fill my tire. He not only did that he gave the bike a tune up complete with a new seat, reflectors and raised handlebars, all for the cost of the parts... I have no more excuses to not ride!

Good for you cwillie! Enjoy that bike.

Cwillie, way to go!

I’d like to brag about exercise. Not only am I playing hockey again but I’m back on the points sheet. But to paraphrase Matthew McConaughey’s character David Wooderson: That’s what I hate about these new players. I get older, they stay the same age.

Can someone start a NEW exercise thread?

Call it
"CWillies Exercise Buddies"
"Exercise Buddies share their stories"
OR
"How to Exercise to keep enjoying life"

"Don't Call It Exercise, keep moving to save your own life"

"Exercising While Aging"

The reason I don't want to start a discussion thread is that posters direct their questions to the original poster for years, and I just don't have time to do that.

My husband exercises to videos online-takes over the living room all morning, most days.
It is a good thing!

Puts me to shame as I am hiding out in the bedroom to give him the tiny space we have.

Not a complaint.

Send, I haven't been going for my walks or anything lately. Shame on me! My latest bout with covid really knocked out my energy and don't get me started on the brain fog. I really need to self monitor my ways now. Keys? check. Wallet? check Did I lock the door? Check.

I went out twice in the last little while and forgot to lock the door behind me. I've been forgetting to put my seat belt on too. Little things. I attribute it to the covid cause it started right after that.

Gershun, oh same! Since Covid (again) I forget or misplace stuff everywhere! Even left my swimwear at the pool (now lost). Get to work.. glasses? Nope. Lunch? Nope. 🙄

Beatty, I think it was you who warned me I might have brain fog after covid. I definitely do!🤔

I hope it ends soon. For both of us.🤞

I belong to a group that has discussed long covid a lot, it seems severe illness and/or lasting effects are the luck of the draw and having sailed through easily in the past is not a guarantee of escaping them in the future.

You mentioned skipping your walks Gershun - does that mean you are finally over your broken foot?

Skipping while walking is much too strenuous,
and could be dangerous in the older population.

[This is just a joke, imo].

How about "Move more, eat less"?

I don't remember who said that.

Skipping may be a little bit too much but the fancy footwork in my exercise videos has definitely improved my balance and made me more able to recover from life's little stumbles.... it's mostly just marching, kicking, side steps and cross overs. Playing your own music during the videos can slow down the pace if it's too challenging (or on days you're feeling less energetic).
