On the other hand, my journals are selling nicely. I've sold 3 in the last 2 weeks, so next week I'll need to make more. At least my hands aren't idle!
Speaking of hands, I was having an extreme bout of arthritic pain a couple weeks ago, so I went to Whole Foods and bought 2 gallons of the KARMA flax milk (vanilla). It is supposed to be helpful for arthritis, and...you know what? I'm NOT having any pain now and my hands and fingers are moving MUCH BETTER! I'm going to continue to buy that and drink it daily! It has a lot of Omega 3's in it.
Not much else going on here. I DID have an appointment with a dermatologist yesterday because, after 16 years, I had something bubble up on my left arm, right next to the incision where I had melanoma. It was small and HARD. So, I made the appointment. Turns out, it was a tiny "pre-cancer" which he burned off with the liquid nitrogen, along with a few other lumps and bumps. PHEW! He said to come back in a year. I'll see how much of his visit Medicare covers. Being on Medicare now is a REAL CHANGE for me. I had excellent health insurance for the 30 years that I was a teacher, so this is an adjustment. The gal at the check-in asked, "Is this ALL you have?" What does THAT mean?
Well, I need to go out and feed the birds. I have about a dozen sunflowers out in the back yard and the little finches sure LOVE to visit them in the mornings and afternoons!
Take care and stay safe.
~Cheryl Ann~Yes! I even made a sunflower journal which sold overnight! :-)
I'll have to try that Karma. My hands are arthritic too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the lady wondered if you had a Medicare supplement insurance plan to go with Medicare. Expensive but may need it.
Glad your journals are selling so well.
I'm a little over a year behind you, but I do notice the slowdown and less stamina. Thanks goodness I can still go on hikes and take pictures... it's my favorite hobby. Just hoping I can continue for as long as possible!
ReplyDeleteDo you need your thyroid checked or B12? You're too young for naps. Maybe more fresh air or exercise?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because I turn 64 the end of the month, but you're not old. Glad to hear the journals are selling so well.
ReplyDeleteI experience/experienced all of those things also. I would try the flax milk, but I started taking Glucosamine HCI 1500mg with MSM 1500mg (both are in the same pill) everyday, and for the most part, my arthritis and joint pain is pretty much all gone. They sell it at Costco.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh because "old folks" always talk about their aches and pains. So I guess I really am old.
