HUBBY's HAIRCUT WENT WELL as I dropped off a donation bag at GOODWILL. AFTER THE DROP, I went into the store to look about. Did some quick looking knowing I only had about 20 minutes before picking up my Husband from his hair appointment.
I had a coupon for 15% off total purchase, but didn't use it as it was SENIOR DAY where I got a discount for being old. grins.
THRILLED ABOUT THRIFTING. I found a cute LIZ CLAIBORNE handbag for about $5 and a small pewter tea set with creamer and sugar.
The purse should last until Spring when I will get another handbag for the season. My black bag has started to break down with a strap broken. Beyond repair. Oh well.
The Friedman Pilgrim pewter set is more than likely from 1934 ish and I believe that the Colonial Revival Period was still going strong.
The inside of the tea service pot is spotless. It was the right thing to THRIFT buy. I picked the tea pot up, looked inside then put it down. Started to walk away then convinced myself that this would be such a cute addition to my collection. In the shopping cart it went. The Price Was Right.
I figure I can fill it with hot water, place it on a serving tray along with the sugar and creamer to use for morning tea. I'll place tea bags in our tea cups and pour the hot water into the cups. Hubby and I can pretend that we are high society and chat. grins.
It should be fun to do just that. I have some herbal teas that I can use as I am avoiding caffeine for now. Plenty of lemons in the fridge to use in herbal tea. I'll add some Half&Half for a full affect for Morning Tea @ HOME.
AFTER his haircut, we went to SMOOTHIE KING to get a SMOOTHIE. https://www.smoothieking.com/
I had a spinach, ginger, lemon one. Pretty good, but a little pricey. Justified it by admitting I wanted to try this place for health benefits. Twas our LUNCH. Looking at it this way, it was affordable compared to other places we would have ate.

Went grocery shopping, drove across the Kansas Prairie then to the Post Office and HOME. Since it was so cold outside we had HOMEMADE GOULASH for supper. Wanted something warm for the tummy.
Watched a very good movie. THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn. 2019 Thriller/Drama isn't Rated. Parts of it are very graphic to where I think young children might be disturbed seeing it. I wouldn't suggest they watch it.
This movie is based off a true story about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary by Sir James Murray with an unusual friendship with Dr. William Minor that was living inside an asylum. When reading about the real Dr. William Minor, the movie does not inform the audience that Minor frequented prostitutes in his youth in America. He was diagnosed with mental health issues and declared insane when he murdered an innocent man. Nothing was said that he might have had syphilis that went to the brain causing mental issues and delusions. The actor Sean Penn is quite the actor who portrays a mentally ill man in true form. I found the movie interesting and enlightening about the Oxford English Dictionary and life during this era.

When checking my health portal on the computer, I had a surprise on my lab results. I didn't know that I was having a Vitamin B-12 lab done so when the results turned up in my health portal, I was surprised that I have a deficiency. Also the Vitamin D results came in deficient as well. TSH low. A1c was good. So now I'm waiting to hear back from my doc.
Hum. I'll be asking about injections for Vitamin B-12 shots until my numbers are where they should be. I'll continue to take Vitamin D supplements. Continue to eat lots of veggies and fruits. After reading on deficiencies, I think I need to eat meat and dairy. With me using HCTZ for years, I believe it is for the best to have stopped the use of this drug. It causes electrolyte deficiencies and vitamin deficiencies which cause high blood pressure and other issues. Dementia is linked to Vitamin and hormone deficiencies which I found very interesting, but sobering.
I'll concentrate on getting my Vit B-12 and D levels where they are in a healthier range and keep a closer eye on them. When you have a vitamin B-12 deficiency, you can waddle when you walk. I do. I've been so tired. Another symptom. Memory loss. I hear ya. After reading about these deficiencies, I am a candidate for help. SO I'll wait to hear back from my doc.
It was 22 degrees outside. WINTER HAS RETURNED. Our taste of spring temps we had has left the building.
PLANS FOR THE DAY. Laundry.
Write out some bills.
Work at thinning out my clothing. Hubby's are thinned out.
Work on Valentine's Cards and some birthday cards.
Clean out the fridge.
DEVOTIONS.
THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH for a winter's day.
