WITH AUTUMN HERE, TIS BEST TO START TAKING VITAMIN C, ZINC WITH SELENIUM AND VITAMIN D3 WITH VITAMIN K2 AGAIN to help build up the immune system. September in Kansas is a wake up call for letting you know that COLD weather is just around the corner with dips in the temp.
The RAG WEED is high making allergy sufferers miserable. I've been pretty lucky so far as I have only had a little watering of my eyes with little side effects. BUT THIS MORNING some coughing and clearing of the throat started out my day.
DAY PLANS are in the works. Exercise class this afternoon and if it's not raining afterwards, I might try really hard to get a walk in later. Shall see. I may be too tired to follow up with a walk. Just saying. Before I attend class, I have GOT TO shave my old legs. I've got a crop growing on them. Grins. I am getting way too relaxed about shaving my limbs these days. The armpits got it yesterday. Mercy, they needed it. I'm not real comfortable having so much hair growing under my armpits. How some do not shave may be part of their culture. I'm still embracing shaved armpits and legs. As I get older, I may no longer care. Same with make-up. I seldom wear it anymore. Occasionally.
WORKING ON THE PINK ROOM. The loose ends are here. I'm still slow at it. I ran the vacuum last night on the majority of the carpet. There are still some boxes in the road. By Sunday evening, the room will have the hole in the wall where the door was leading into the bathroom patched. Will see how it goes. I can't move pieces of furniture into the pink room until the wall is patched so I am at a pause and it's starting to bug me. Keep busy anyways.
Being that it's Thursday, the week-end isn't far off. Time gets away from me so easily. Shazam.
ON THE HOME FRONT. Hubby has been rebuilding a foundational stone wall under the porch. Part of the wall had collapsed under the front porch. The stones were still there so it was a matter of rebuilding it. He's doing a beautiful job on this.
This complete rebuilding of the old 125 year old porch will take some effort, muscle, materials, cash and time. That's just the way it goes. He was sharing with me that the front cement stairs need replaced. So we'll be figuring this one out. The cement steps are massively heavy. Not sure what technique will be used to remove it. They are crumbling and need to go.
HEALTH. The results came in for my Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels. Both are in range, but not optimal. Next week, I'll be having more labs for my yearly thyroid appointment so I'll know what my TSH number is. Needing to get the questions wrote up that I'll be asking the APRN who sees me. This will probably be the last time I meet with him as I am 15 years into this thyroid journey. Yearly sonograms may be the way I go. The TSH levels are something I can do on my own. If the meds need tweaked, I can do so by calling my primary physician. Shall see. I know how to read the TSH levels.
I'd best get around taking care of my legs. The clock is ticking and I will be heading out the door in a little bit to go to class. There are 16 sessions all together of STAY STRONG STAY HEALTHY and I am on session number 3.
MEALS. BRUNCH started out with cooked oatmeal topped with blueberries, strawberries, slivered almonds, chocolate, cinnamon and almond milk. It was the best. NO LUNCH. SUPPER will be a huge salad. Looking forward to this. Increasing veggies is always on the back burner. I think that reminding myself to do so is a good sign of having changed my eating habits. I have a built in warning in me to be mindful of what I am eating. That's a good thing.
