Taking Care of Health

I am not getting any younger, and lately it's becoming more and more apparent. I have recently began to take care of my health care needs after neglecting them for so long.

I went to the doctor recently because I was sick, something I used to avoid unless I had no other choice. I had a respiratory infection. They did lab work, and two weeks later I went back for fasting labs. 

My blood sugar had been elevate on the first set of labs. The second blood draw had my sugar at 98. As long as the rest of my labs are fine I do not have to go back for three months unless I get sick. 

My weight is bothering me. It has for years, I am trying to do something about it, though slowly. It seems every time I lose weight I gain it right back with extra. 

Taking care of my health is not optional with a handicapped child to raise.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
