STAGE COACH RIDE THRU OUT TOMBSTONE, AZ.


Taking a Sunday afternoon stage coach ride 
thru out TOMBSTONE was a treat.  Enjoyed the slower paced ride.
A bit BUMPY.  A tad chilly inside the carriage, but enjoyed the whole time 
inside reminiscing of days gone by.

The driver shared HISTORY with us as we rode along.
Truly,

THAT WAS QUICK

PHONE RANG.  My Doctor's Nurse was on the other end to tell me my levels for the LAB WORK I had done just yesterday were in.  

TWAS GOOD to hear the results so quickly.  TSH level is at a good level and my Vitamin D level still a little low.   I'll continue to take Vitamin D for 8 more weeks.  I seem to be VERY VERY SLOW responding to meds.  I AM A SLOWPOKE even in my metabolism.  

SLOW and easy she goes.

Continue taking 50,000Units for 8 weeks then suppose to take 2000UI.  Asking the Nurse what type of Vitamin D I should take after the 8 weeks of 50,000...she said it didn't matter.  They're all the same.  I know differently.  They are not all the same.  SO I will be investigating the best type for me.   I wonder why I am not responding quickly to the high Vit. D dose?  Low absorption in the gut?  Shall study up on this.

Tis THURSDAY.  I hung the new shower curtains this morning and will launder the bathroom rug plus toilet seat cover later.  Then this first week of March project will be completed.  A very clean and uncluttered Bathroom.  Next, I need to work some in the JUNK ROOM also known as the spare room.  The Bedrooms need dusted.  Hope to get this completed the second week of the month.  Tadaaah.  

Stay the course and stay focused,
d

TAKING SOME TIME

SPRING IS COMING!!!

I woke early on my own without the alarm this morning.  This seldom happens.  It was alright because I needed to head over to Manhattan and get some lab work done.  No appointment needed.  First I went through the mail and bills, got cleaned up and drove to the lab before eating anything or taking my morning meds.  I like to fast beforehand when having blood work done.

Signing in at their kiosk is about as high tech as I want to go.  It doesn't talk back to me with all the lovely screens it shows to tap letters spelling out my name and birthdate.  Why are you here? That kind of thing.  I was the only one in the lobby before the technician called my name.

Which arm would I like to us?  Always the left one.  I didn't pass out.  Stayed calm and before I knew it she had drawn two vials.  Having my Vitamin D level checked along with TSH.  I will check the portal this evening and see if the reading are present.





Eggs & Cheese Protein Box. Two cage-free hardboiled eggs, sliced tart apples, a mandarin and white Cheddar cheese come together with multigrain muesli bread and honey peanut butter in this protein-packed lover's dream.

After I walked to my car, I decided I would visit the neighborhood STARBUCKS for one of their PROTEIN BOXES with eggs and cheese.  Love these and I feel like I am treating myself to goodness.  The homegrown coffee in a traveling cup waited for me to sip.  Perfect and ready temp to go.



Deciding to have a shampoo and curl at the walk in salon in the Beauty Supply Store on Poyntz, I had my hair done.  The Stylist shampooed my hair with detoxing shampoo that takes all the build up, etc out of hair.  Conditioned and added some mousse for height.  Then came the Egyptian Product for sparing the hair from heat damage.  

She dried it using a blow drier and a round brush.  Added something to my hair and curled the locks with a curling iron, pinning the curls to where it looked like the hair had rollers in it.  



I'll have to try this at HOME.

Letting the hair cool a bit, she removed the clips that held the curls and let the hair dangle.  Gently combed and sprayed.  I walked out enjoying the style.  Liked the Stylist and the style.  Will go again.


NO MAKE-UP, BUT HEY THAT'S ALRIGHT MY HAIR IS CURLY.


Next I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to look at their king size pillow covers.  The ones I bought before were a Standard/Queen size and our pillows are too puffy to handle so going to the next size might work.  I used a 20% off discount coupon which are pretty standard and easy to get in magazines and emails.  I save a little and that helps.  These pillow covers were more expensive than I imagined.  Still I like using them because they do help protect the pillows from the night sweats which cause yellowish stains on the pillows that don't launder out.




HOME I went to show my retired HUBBY that I still have bounce in my hair do.  I'm not sure how long the do will stay so I have to enjoy every moment I have in the daylight before I lay my head to the pillow to sleep.

HUBBY pitched in helping clean the bathroom.  He made tremendous headway surprising me of what he had done while I had some time away from the HOUSE.  Tomorrow I will launder the bathroom rug and toilet seat cover, hang new shower curtains and bathe the window blinds.  After all returns to normal the Main Bathroom will have been DEEP CLEANED this FIRST week of MARCH!  Goal accomplished.









Tonight I would like to watch a good movie and stay in.  I love HOME.  Getting excited that SPRING is coming.  The countdown is 16 days away.  Praising my Savior all the day long.  

SCRIPTURE READING:  PROVERBS 4:9. 
She (wisdom) shall give thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.


Can I just say that I am so thankful to be a HOMEBODY allowed to be in my own HOME?
Yes, I am.

STAGE COACH GET AWAY!


WHILE IN TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA
the sights to be seen were proper for back in the day.

Stagecoaches rolled through town on dirt roads.
People dressed in clothing appropriate for the 1880s were walking the streets 
and taking part in creating a suitable atmosphere for TOMBSTONE.

Was calming to be able to walk about 
without the threat of dodging automobiles.
After being in 2020 traffic, the stagecoaches were a relief.
Like a healing balm badly needed 
from the harried pace of Phoenix and Interstate 40.
Peaceful retreat.

BLESSINGS,

Pretty Dresses


✔️Such pretty dresses.  Pretty then in 1932.  Pretty today.  As I work at recreating my self (an ongoing feat), I wish I had a handful of these dresses that would fit like a glove.  FEMININE without showing too much skin.  Cleavage not showing.


AND the prices!  Lower than now days THRIFT finds.  
  Inflation roars through the years.


✔️Admiring the lovely attire.  Okay, this will be placed on my 
TO DO LIST.  Sew a 1932 dress which will hang in the closet until needed.  Tadaah.  Ever so simple.  You wanna bet?  Not for me.  It will be difficult to say the least.  I shall try to be successful.

Today is Tuesday... 
✔️...and the trash was hauled away.  A full can out by the alley.  
✔️I cleaned a purple glassed kerosene lamp and placed it on the fireplace mantel alongside another lamp. My effort to step back in time.  
✔️Hubby made a trip to the MORTGAGE company and paid down our loan to where our retirement living expenses will be better suited for each month's living expenses.  ðŸ˜€Makes me smile a huge debt of gratitude.  Our plan to completely pay off the mortgage is taking more time.  
✔️We had a McDonald's SouthWest Salad with Paul Newman Salad Dressing for lunch with a jumbo iced tea.  (I suppose the Salad has GMO corn and melty for the cheese?  Not healthy?  Humpf.)  Can celebrate the greens. 😉  I think.  Hope so.
    


Read all about it here:

✔️I will continue cleaning on MANIFESTING my SPARKLING CLEAN Bathroom as the week putts along.  A little each day is all I have energy for.  SO it will be clean by the end of the week.  I am about to put on my housekeeper keeping house clothing.  

My own HOUSE!  Awesome.  My own territory to take care of.  MINE.  No one elses, but mine and HUBby's.

SCRIPTURE READ:
Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
