Oy vey. Between changing diet to lose weight for surgery and then the trauma of the total knee replacement, my hair thinned quite rapidly by the combful and it is SO sparse up top and sides. I mean, major scalp sunburn if we had decent sun. I'm visiting my sister this month and I'm sure my...

We're having the spinoff from California's rains, but it's being metered in dribs, drabs and waves by a low system hovering over Arizona. I would prefer a real gulley washer instead and have it over and done with due to this prolongment has my knee(s) screaming about the weather. No action...

getaclue -- How are you feeling today? So sorry you're dealing with the prickly scourge. It's not something to wish upon anyone. Have you found relief? My father had shingles...on his head. It bisected his face in half, much like you'd envision the Phantom of the Opera. Doctor was worried...

The weather once again is a 50/50 mix. We're going to hit 67 this afternoon, yet on Thursday I will encounter possible snow. So it's sweatpants/tee or shorts/sweatshirt. I'm so confused....

Hey, California! Quit hogging all the rain. We in New Mexico are tired of just getting drizzly leftovers. ;)

Good morning, OF! A very pretty day today with highs around 65, no wind nor precip. Physical therapy today and then time to sort out the taxes. Yep. Monday!

Thus far I've resisted. Our local feedstore has had them weekly (and sold out in a day) for the last month. My incubators are hidden away even though I'm getting hatching requests. Chick fever in remission? I hope so. There's enough on my plate already. (maybe later....)

Impressive! I'm left-handed in a righty world and Mom only had the patience to teach me how to purl. I made a 4-square sweater that looked like someone stitched together oversized pot holders. No prizes, for sure... Now, sewing was a different matter. During the 2nd grade Mom decided that...

I kept the formal dining room set (flame mahogany table, chairs, hutch and buffet) and then some odds-and-ends things of sentimental value: 1) Portrait of my father painted by a POW when he was an MP in the Philippines during WWII 2) My great grandfather's discharge papers from the Civil...

Remember: The only difference between a hoarder and a collector is organization! - - - - Both of my parents were Depression-era kids. Mom's mother was a true Victorian, so there was that in the mix. To say my folks were frugal is an understatement as even when they'd "made it" they were...

Sunny but cold this morning. We'll warm up to mid-60s, though. New Mexico weather... The garden doesn't know if it's coming or going.

Partly cloudy and barely above freezing here with no chance of precip all week. Day after tomorrow we'll be close to 70. The yard doesn't know if it's coming or going.

Had an interesting conversation with my ortho guy when I asked about the osteoporosis that the Dexa-scan revealed. Should I up calcium in my diet? "That's not as important as getting enough Vitamin D which helps to synthesize calcium." So now I take a calcium pill and a high-dose D3. My teeth...

I lost close to 40 lbs. to qualify for surgery (insurance mandates regulate via BMI whether a "go" or not). Friends have provided dinners for the two weeks following the operation, which was a godsend. Decided not to sweat all the sweets, gravy, butter, etc. Didn't gain any weight because...

Been dealing with my total knee replacement this last month. Surgery was fine and the doc did an excellent job, but -- owzer -- that first week post-op is brutal. Earned my Badass badge for sure. Anyway, doing my PT and not using a cane or walker now. My "good" leg is starting to protest...

Cold this morning. I've been off the CBD all week for pre-surgery and I can really feel the winter now. Tomorrow is the big slice-n-splice day! They've slated me as first onto the table, so arrival time is 6:00 a.m. The upside to that ungodly hour is that I'll be back home by noon. Wish me...

We had lots of snow predicted, but the last two storms produced nearly nothing on the ground. However, we've had bone-chilling wind and our temps haven't been up above freezing for a bit. I had my final ortho appt. before surgery yesterday and by the time I walked in from the parking lot the...

Good morning, Old Folks! (well, "Contemporaries" seems more apt as I'm there with you) We got a light dusting of snow earlier in the week (which melted off here in ABQ area), but we're about to get a day's worth from a northern storm front which is plummeting the State's temps. Santa Fe won't...
