Tax season is over, and flowers are in bloom everywhere around here. The grass is starting to want to be mowed on a weekly basis again. [Frown] We are starting to get hot down here, and the humidity is upon us already. It can be draining on the energy levels.

I had some personal stresses in April, that caused my appetite to plummet. I got down to 117, which is WAY too skinny for this chick!
But I'm feeling better these days, getting back to normal eating, and am at a very comfortable 120 today. I will be staying around this weight now.

Started swimming at my mom's condo for about 30 minutes in the mornings during the week, and then dry off in the sun for about 15 minutes per side. This will slowly help me build a tan base for the summer, and also give me my 15 minutes of vitamin D. haha

I've been doing some renovating around here. Have my office/studio torn apart right now, and basically gutted, but for the very things I need to use on a daily basis. Can't tell you how much more efficiently I'm working without extra clutter around me. Once this room is done, I'll be very selective about the things I put back in it.

I have a big 'ol pile started for a garage sale I'm having at the end of the month. Feels good to once again purge myself of "stuff" that just serves to weigh you down sometimes.

Some work is breaking loose for me again, and money is flowing better for me. I'm hoping things are coming around in that way.

How's everyone else doing out there?
Anything to share this month?

Since half of Letterville is laid up right now, the other half had better be double healthy this month.

hitting 50 earlier this year, I've felt like the distraction of letting work interfere with healthy choices is one of my goals for the year. I will take small steps & not beat myself up too bad, but the most exercise beyond the usual of working, has been to relocate the treadmill to where I see it every day. That hasn't resulted in any workouts yet, but it's one small step. I've seen your health posts, & hadn't clicked on one in a while... another small step. Speaking of steps, I stepped on the scale I brought home & set by the treadmill... it read back to me the same alarming milestone I've always held up as the turning point I would retreat from before I ever crossed... 200! Time to retreat back to 190. That's a vow for this year. Another small step!

Well, I am just back from Old Blighty, where I had at least a pint a day (once for breakfast!) and fish and chips three times.
Somehow I lost 3#.
Hahahaha
Once my jetlag clears I am going to get moving, got Versus to watch the Pens and lo and behold one of the channels which came with it has Denise Austin.
Love....Jill

Oh.. just abit going on here.

I've been active in trying to figure out the cause and cure for the vertigo symptoms I'm experiencing.

A friend of mine heard my plight and had a talk with a specialist chiro in upper neck injuries that worked tremendously for him. I was under the assumption the chiro took me on for the first visit for free to show me the way. I returned for another visit and the chiro office again told me the visit was taken care of. Hmmm..I made a phone call and found out who took care of it.

And know what I'm going to do with this? Do him extremely proud. I'm going to give this every benefit of the doubt and do what it takes on my end to make this work. That will be part of my gift back. All part of the drug free process of elimination. I'm going to beat this thing!

I'm also starting on some fruit and veggie smoothies whipped up in a high speed blender (not juicer) My voodoo (what I call natural healing stuff) friend Dorothy explained the whys of it and it makes sence. A blender leaves vital fiber content in the drink rather than extracting it. And, it's about downing the active ingredients, much different than popping processed vitamins. So as soon as I get into town with my list I'll be blending up a storm to create my Shrek (that's what they look like) drinks.

Voodoo Dorothy also has, eh.. I don't know what it's called. I call it a voodoo foot bath. And this is flat out weird. You fill the bath with warm water and place your feet in. There's some kind of metal probes in the bath. You plug it in and sit for a good 30 min. The bath draws out the toxins in your body. The redder the water gets, the more toxins it's drawing. I tried it many years ago and nearly freaked when I saw the water clear one moment and foamy red froth swirling around the next! After a few tries, once your system is cleaner, the water clears too. That's when you know you're good to go for awhile.

I speculate I have alot of toxins from the renos and this is also a consideration for the vertigo. It was the intense fumes from the stair woodwork that had me feeling literally ill. That's when the vertigo began so I'm going to cover all bases to figure this thing out.

I attempt walks despite how I feel. If I can make the time work wise, I go even if it means dragging my hands along the ground. And yes, I look about as good as that description fits. Yarrow is kind to me. No one seems to mind.

Next up - dentist and dr visit too. I ought to be brand new in no time.

Once the fog clears, I also need to repurge alot of stuff and continue with the house. Our neighbourhood is planning a block sale this upcoming Sat but I don't think I can switch gears that quick along with all else going on in order to join in.

I'm going to be pulling my trailer home from the campsite soon so I can concentrate on getting better this year. I may reward myself with sporatic getaways if my health improves enough. But if not, gotta stay put to be safe.

Extremely unique 2009 here so far.

Take care of yourself ~nettie. We all depend on you keeping us on physical track.

For the first time in my life, I'm finding others treating me as though I'm OLD. It happens all the time. At the grocery store, hardware, etc. even customers offer to bear the weight of picking up signs.

I've never thought of myself as old and it stunns me when I experience others offering to help. I see people holding doors open a little longer for me, altough it's not necessary. Isn't this a great country, jam packed with wonderful people?

Joe

Hey there Nettie,

Thanks for the good positive spin. We all need that. Get real tired of hanging around in a pity party, so here is what is looking UP:

Still haven't had to let our health insurance go although we raised the deductible to $11,000.00

Looks like we MIGHT make all the real estate taxes next week without dipping into the small savings we have left.

Another local undercutting cheap sign shop - who did excellent work - went under. Hmm I wonder why? Sorry for them, but glad for me and the industry.

Small contractors are finding the need to ADVERTISE again - more truck lettering!

I've made it home before dark TWICE already this week!
