Somewhere recently I read that it is good to try to eliminate all negativity for 24 hrs. I am mostly positive so I thought I would take on this challenge, which I did yesterday. I found myself dropping something and saying things like "Oh crap!" I guess in the long run that is a negative response, and I would catch myself and then say "I didn't mean it"! Wonder if anyone was listening :-)
I think I will try to do this again, maybe on a regular basis. I need to wait until I feel a little better though.
I usually sleep very well at night, but for some reason I woke up in the middle of last night with difficulty breathing. I know I have COPD and will eventually have to use an inhaler. I've filled several prescriptions for an inhaler over the past 10 years but have never once used one. Too many instructions and things to remember to do, distance to maintain, etc. My brain revolts when presented with things like that! I refused to look at the clock but would say I finally went back to a deeper sleep after about an hour. To make matters worse, I think I'm coming down with a cold, and maybe that's affecting my breathing.
I'm posting a picture of me in roller skates back in mid-December. I look pretty graceful on skates while I'm standing still on the carpet! (Click on photo to enlarge)
It is going to be a beautiful sunshiny day today, possibly reaching a warm 60F. I work at the library in a couple of hours, so moving at my snail's pace I'd better start to get ready.
- I'm Not Sleep Deprived!
Although I certainly feel sleep deprived! I crawled into bed at 6 pm last night, and got up for about half an hour around 10, then back to bed until 8 this morning. I still feel drowsy. This cold is getting worse than I could have imagined,...
- Check-in; Updated
I thought I'd better let everyone know I'm alive and well. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I ate a bit of everything on the table. Didn't feel very well during the night but figured it was that I'm not used to all the...
- My Time Hasn't Come (i Hope)
I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...
- Hunkered Down!
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of rain, and it was blowing hard and coming down fast. I guess it rained for about an hour, and then again later in the morning we had another bout of rain but without the wind. In between the rain I went...
- I'm All Talked Out!
A gentleman walked up on my porch at about 12:30 this afternoon to give me some news about the Park as well as the HOA. We ended up talking for about 2 hrs. about RVing, camping, Nevada, places to go, and I can't even remember it...
