old stuff for sale

A charming place that sells old stuff

What ever that means!

Thinking of Jo at 282.5


Not - I say again - NOT a teapot!

How to park in the country:
any way you want... any where you can!

Some of the local lakes are flooded areas 
where neighborhoods once were.
Many of the lakes in this area are man-made.

"Old" 66 Bridge just goes right down into the water.
People fish and stuff here now.
(Read as: party)

A day out and aboot.
Cleaning the apartment.
When you are depressed, you tend to let things go.
Perhaps. A bit.
Now, I'm getting things done!

 
Breakfast and sacks of cans for recycling.
It's been awhile, eh?
Matrix Coffee with a straw.
Why is it Matrix Coffee?
Because there is no spoon!

.............................................
This just in:
Switching from Monster LoCarb Energy Drink
to a different mix for protein drinks.
Right now, I'm on a Diet Ginger Ale kick.
Green Tea also works as a protein-mix base.
Something lightly carbonated with a mild flavour.
And doesn't cause acid reflux back for me.

I can (theoretically) take the $5 a day (Monster drink habit)
And apply it to somethings else.....like boxing, or salads.
Or box lunches. Or a travel fund for my next trip!

And cutting back on caffeine ("Back," I say - not "out" altogether)
Could only help my pseudo-anxiety situation. Vague uneasiness.
I've already cut out the RedLines. And the Vodka. (For sleep, right?)
And RedBulls. And stayed off of them all. Yay! for not being belligerent!

Oh, and the kitchen is starting to look mighty fine again!
At least I can find the counter tops again, eh?
Laundry...done ✔  
Truck...done ✔
Nap...done ✔
Walking...done ✔



Hope your day is exquisite!

  4. Nothing so exotic as bologna or woims! (worms)
    It's beef brats cooked on the GForman grill.
    Then they curled up like little rounds.

  5. American Pickers ... they would love it. :) Your spoon is too big (if you don't know what that means you have missed a great animation).

    I love the bionics sign. Parking for Steve Austin only? Or maybe Max the bionic dog.

  9. Oh sweetie, I hope you are feeling better. I didn't realize you lived so close to the country.
    I know a depression is much worse than a bad day but I know when I am having a bad day I force myself up, shower and always try to walk and get some sunshine....this always works for me. Wish we blog friends lived closer so we could help each other out, just know I care.....:-) Hugs

  15. =) Jo=Taco Bell and trains ... lmao

    I gave up caffeine. I drink decaf coffee which has some, but gave up pop, and everything else. One night I had a pop and my heart rate elevated. I put on my heart rate monitor and it stayed elevated over an hour. I think it accounted for a lot of the anxiety I had...although I still have some. Amazingly, I order water now when we eat out and it's just as good.

    Sorry about the depression. It hits me now and again.It sucks. BUT...glad your spirits are lifted and you're getting things done.

    hugs
