coldy locks

Puffy cotton balls 

Bad winter a-comin’?

Cold weather means Covefe. 

Scary. Lots of arthritis pain

In the busted knee. 

My right knee. 
Needs heat. And a knee wrap. 

Ghosts of Halloween past. 

Nurse Karen 

Little Pirate

Little Skeleton 

Dr House

Even though I never became 

Miss Universe, or Miss America,

And even though I gained 

15 pound after my knee injury, 

And even though I have had 

COVID like 4 freaking times, 

I’m still a-pluggin’ along. 

Lots of stretching. 

I actually had to move my bad leg

By grabbing my pants leg. 

So it CAN flex and extend 

But with some passive assistance. 

I used to have trouble with

 October November and December. 

And just accepted the fact 

That I would always gain during the holidays. 

At least 10 pounds. 

Then spend 6 months dropping it. 

That was Pre-Atkins! 

weather kitteh

Early morning walk. 

Even the birds of a feather 

Were flocking together. 
Wind was 35 mph from the North. 

Temp drop tonight! And floods. 

I post these stats to maybe 

Inspire someone -somewhere-

 that Recovery is possible. 

Getting my HRV up to 

The 50s consistently. 

Deep Breathing is key. 

It took a year. 

And lots of True Cardio. 

Was late for work. 

Picture it. 5 am. My place. 

Could NOT find my glasses. 

Now. After 60+ years of

Living with myself 

… I know my weaknesses. 

I leave my stuff in one place

- The same place- 

Everyday. Generally by the door. 

🤓 

👻 Ghosts? No. 👓 

A handy housemate picked my 

Glasses up by mistake. 

Now - off to work I go. 

Mystery solved. 

Before and After 

The desk. 

The Age-Old Dilemma. 

Who wants to help me plant the wheat?

Who wants to help me grow the wheat? 

Harvest the wheat? Clean the wheat?

Bake the bread ?

Not I, said the Cat,

The Rat, the Dog, the Frog,

The Pollywog. 

Who wants to help me eat the bread!!!????

Everyone. As usual. 

AI thinks I am a young boi. 

Kinda cute, eh? 

Hipster Santa. Lol. 

🎃 🎅 🎃 

cold front

Foggy windshield days 

Got on all 4s 

And cleaned the floor. 

The messy floor. 

Before and after the cleaning. 

I used Angry Orange. 

It cleans great and smells great. 

Found some old pictures. 

This is maybe junior high. 

I wasn’t a heavy teen. 

But I thought I was! 

I weighed 128 most of high school. 

I didn’t do sports- I did band. 

College 17? 18? 19? 

I gained weight my first year of Uni

- The dreaded Freshman Fifteen-

7 years ago, I met my housemates. 

So now, my 7 years good luck 

Can begin. 

All Pediatric Nurses 

Love love love Halloween! 

We get to play. Lol.

Another day. 

Another 6 Shrimp twice

And 2 protein shakes. 

A wee slice of frozen solid

Key Lime Cheesecake. 

Honestly/ this is like 3 bites. 

Oh well. Cheat Day. 

Homeless people live 

In these construction barrels. 

Off to work. Lol. 
I’m still firm in my 

“Letting Go” phase. 

Not interested in anything 

that hurts more than it helps. 

deal or no deal

This is in a predominantly Muslim 

And Hindi community  (95%)

Probably a Vietnam Vet era

Christmas protest keeper guy

Boomer Mercia! 

Lol love you guys. 

It’s not even Halloween yet. 

What could possibly go wrong? 

Well, it Coke does it

They must know what’s going on. 

Typical logic. Lol. 

Took my little walk. 6 am. 

Looking for heart rate recovery data. 

I always sleep twice. 

I don’t mean to;

I just always have. 

Bi-Phasic sleep is for manual laborers. 

I get my deepest sleep then. 


Mommy - it wasn’t me!!!

Paul Gross from Due South 

And now King Lear. 

He’s always cutting edge. 

Paul Gross is my age. 

Medium scrubs! 

With pockets! 

They look like they have been 

In the bottom of my closet for a year. 

That because it’s true. They have.
