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 time." Period. I thought about a lot things, one of which popped into my mind quite unexpectedly. I had a bag of caramel popcorn in my "kids' cabinet". There were some other varieties that I don't care for, but I reasoned if I'm going to die, I'm not leaving a big bag of caramel popcorn! I ate nearly the whole damn thing (and it was good), and then went to bed. I slept ok except for waking up with leg cramps every now and then, but this morning I didn't feel so hot. I knew instantly it was the popcorn I ate last night. It's way more sugar than I'm used to these days. I struggled through breakfast, shower, etc., and went to Costco. While walking through Costco I felt worse and worse, but as the afternoon goes on I'm feeling decidedly better. My gas heater clicked on a few times throughout the night, for just a few minutes each time, but even though the house was chilly this morning it was a lot better than usual. The sun is shining and the day is beautiful, and I'm warmly dressed. And I'm still alive! What more can I ask for.

Post Thanksgiving
"Early" wasn't the word for when I went to sleep last night. I was in bed and probably out like a light by 7:30 pm! I slept in until 8 or so this morning, so I should be well rested. I briefly thought of going to Costco early but that...

Oh My, What Happened?
After adding a little jog to the walk I did yesterday my legs felt a little sore but I figured like all other pains when I exercise hard, it would go away by the next morning, but my legs hurt from the knees to the ankles and it seems to be getting worse. ...
