Thursday, April 24th, 2008 I have strange eyesight. I’m going to be 50 this year and yet I have perfect reading vision. So far. I just can’t see anything more than 3 feet from my face
I’ve worn glasses for nearsightedness since 4th grade. I could never read when wearing my glasses though; I had to remove my glasses […]
Health Insurance
Monday, April 21st, 2008 When I was a kid, the labor unions were strong, the coal and steel industries were booming and health insurance was a given. We seldom went to the doctor, though; it was enough to know that we could if necessary.
Everything is different today. More and more people have no health care coverage. I’ve searched […]
It’s A Female Thing
Friday, April 18th, 2008 Female rant. Beware.
Now that I have no use for anything that would regulate my cycles, I find that the world of medicine is making life so much easier for women. And that kind of frustrates me.
I suffered for a very long time, trying virtually every pill and procedure available at the time. We […]
On Health, Weather, Dogs and Teens
Sunday, April 13th, 2008Just when I start to feel really great physically and ready to get back into walking every day, something goes wrong. In this case, two things went wrong. First, the weather got nasty again. We went from mid-70s one day to mid-40s the next. Combined with the rain, it’s just not good weather to […]
Incentive To Lose
Thursday, April 10th, 2008I’m a little frustrated with popular culture right now. I’m old enough to know that the normal human body cannot lose 100 pounds in a few months. I’ve been pregnant enough times to know that you do not leave the hospital after giving birth, wearing the same clothes you wore on the day that […]
Bio Quench Bonus
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 Time for a “health” update. I’m 7 months away from my 50th birthday and I’m making excellent progress.
Since I began my weight loss program in August, I’ve fallen into a pattern of losing for a few days, then stalling for several weeks; lose for a few days, stall for several weeks. The stalls are […]
Clear It Up
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 I was always amazed that my sons had very little acne at teens. Both my husband and I dealt with breakouts so I always thought that all my kids would as well. The boys, so far, have been very fortunate, with only an occasional pimple here and there.
Not so for my daughter, though. She’s […]
What Do I See?
Monday, February 18th, 2008Usually, I wear daily disposable contact lenses and occasionally I wear colored contacts. I don’t wear them everyday, though. In fact, if I’m not leaving the house I don’t wear them at all. You see, my eyesight is just fine for close-up stuff like computer work, reading, cooking or talking to and playing […]
Time To Blog My Self Improvement?
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 Right now, I’m considering a new blog to deal specifically with my weight loss journey. I’m very happy with my progress so far but I realize that I’m not blogging about it regularly. Perhaps a niche blog would encourage me to report on my progress more regularly.
Until then, I’ll just mention that for a […]
Need More Room!
Sunday, January 13th, 2008Nick and I were downstairs earlier, looking through my vast selection of essential oils. Seriously, I have over 40 right now. I really want to get back into soap making and my basement would be perfect for it. In fact, I started to set it up down there about a year ago but then […]
