@jeanie26, Oh! No, no, no, Jeanie, I don't want to go back to being 40ish or even 60ish. I worked too hard and long to get to this age and now feel totally "justified" in taking it slower at a less hectic pace. It wasn't easy getting to this place, I admit, but once here, I just smile at the more frequent breaks I need to take, at the less filled in calendar, and best of all at the choices I can decide to do or not do without explaining or apologizing to anyone else. As for cuts and bruises, I take a blood thinner so I have gotten to the place where I wonder if I don't have several bruises on arms or legs...can just barely brush against something and turn the colors of the rainbow. The newest "surprise" was waking up with a glorious black eye...Now I live alone and have for years with a pretty well behaved kitty. I haven't been out being rowdy and not fussing with anyone so I couldn't believe this shiner...was telling a friend and she laughed saying you and I both have allergies. She said she'd given herself more than one black eye from simply rubbing an itchy eye too hard. That has to be it! I should have taken a selfie and then come up with some outrageous story for my grand boys. I am so impressed that you can make dream catchers! Friends and I bought some in Santa Fe on a girls' trip there three years ago. So lovely. Yes, your grandson will love his new one made by you. Talented lady, you are!
@jeannie26 Goodmorning Jeannie . We had 3 acres of grass to cut and had a riding mower made a world of difference . When my husband died took me 2-3 days to get it all done as I worked then still. I'm hoping to see my grandson today or tomorrow they are coming over one of these days. I'm having shoulder pain in neck area will have to find out what it causing it . I do have fibromyalgia and aches from this but now the pain is constant ,of course no one is in today but I will use the portal and email Dr . I am just the opposite I don't like weekends to long but can keep busy during week and I do like being alone so this staying in doesn't bother me .Have a good day
