Well you guessed it…this week's challenge…shut down the equipment, walk out that door and get it on with Mother Nature. Or buy a plant and put it in your house. Or get a pet that forces you to go outside and walk. Or if you are deep deep in a city, make your screen saver waterfalls, trees and all things nature whilst your tv is tuned to the nature music station. Or start gardening. Or start bird watching….(shovel list). You get the idea.
I will stop driving the half block to the mailbox and start walking there and stare at the trees. While I drink water. While I munch on a carrot to help swallow the multi vitamin. While I breathe deeply and laugh out loud. While I think about a new hobby to start. 'Sigh'….too many changes. That author must be a paragon of virtue.
I actually dared get on the scale this morning. I have lost 12 pounds since coming back from Maui. I quit weighing every day. I quit eating whatever I was eating if it wasn't worth the calories (and you wouldn't believe just how much food you eat because its in front of you, not because you like it). And I am just not as hungry as I used to be. Getting old has its benefits!
Another thing I am going to try is the apple cider treatment to get rid of moles, warts and skin tags. Cookie told me about this. You apply apple cider to the whatevers, three times a day and over a period of about a week or two they disappear. I have enough skin tags to sink a ship. So I am going to give it a try. I shall report back here and let you know if it works. If it does I will have to go out and by a five gallon jug and take care of the rest of them. Its going to be hard. I have named them so it will be like killing old friends. They have been there forever.
I did the recycling today. Spod was not up to it. (Aww here he comes right now with a flower he picked for me :) ) There was a huge amount after having Kevin and Tandy here for a couple of weeks, plus a couple of big dinners. It took a good hour to sort it all out, flatten the boxes etc…but its all done and out at the curb. A new job for me to take over. I think I have underestimated how much he used to do around here!!! LOL!!
Spod is spending a great deal of time sleeping. I would say its got a lot to do with the pills he is taking. We don't like being in this limbo…the not really knowing if he can be helped or not. I have talked with people and done a lot of googling but its hard to find out anything. Sometimes what you hear or read is so hopeful then you read something that is awful. I sure hope the oncologist phones early tomorrow. I am going to get the suitcases packed and be ready to go at a moment's notice. I will have to get a room at the hotel and kennel for the dogs. And we have no clue how long we will have to stay in North Van. I would try to do it all here in Victoria but Dr. Klemo the oncologist, is world renowned and is good friends with our Dr. Best to stick with the best.
Well now it is evening. I just tucked Spod into bed. His tummy has become so distended…it looks like its going to pop. I sure hope we hear something soon. I shall report back here the moment I know something…anything… TTYL
