Patience is a funny thing…
Patience is a funny thing. And not just the card game… Never ending for some things, yet remarkably short for others. I am known for my patience and will often hang on long after most people have given up. But I am beginning to discover what happens when it runs out. My recovery at the…

My babies need me!

These are not mine, but I wish… I am temporarily unable to go outside (my sister is still unmovable about this), and I do understand her caution. However, having done both, I don’t think there’s much difference between falling on concrete and falling on carpet. I have had some spectacular falls, but the one that…

I hate to say this, but I have done it again… I always seem to suffer after most of the jobs I do, especially the ones that push me to the limit of my strength and patience. I keep being told that I am 8o and not superwoman anymore, but it’s so hard to ignore…

Calling Time?
As you have probably noticed, everything is far from right. But I’m not ready to quit just yet, (getting pretty close though). Giving up on anything has never been an option, even when life would be easier if I did. But, it could be time, time to stop experimenting. To stop seeing if this or…

What a difference a Day Makes!

Image by AxxL from Pixabay What a difference a Day Makes! This is turning out to be a peculiar week. My doctor’s appointment to discuss the outcome of the recent scan finally arrived on Tuesday. I turned up to a lovely, caring welcome from this new doctor, which was so different from my usual treatment. There was no…

One Thing after Another…
Image by Mohamed Hassan from Pixabay One Thing after Another… You must remember that old saying about waiting for a bus, then three of them come along all at once? Well, we have been living this for a while now. First, the fridge freezer decided to drop the freezing habit. Turned out to be too old to be…

Do I even like cooking anymore?
My favourite thing to cook was always spaghetti Bolognese, these days, though, I definitely think my love affair with cooking has faded. I have been cooking for other people since I was ten years old. I am now long in the tooth at 80, and I am sorry to say that the gilt has finally…

The End of a busy week? or the Start of Another?

by
Image by HANSUAN FABREGAS from Pixabay I wanted to check in again this morning, even though my head’s in a mess. My life has been chaotic lately and doesn’t look like getting any better anytime soon. Our fridge freezer was not repairable, but we were insured, so we had to choose a new one online. Sounds simple, doesn’t…

Wordless Wednesday…

by
Image by johnwpphillips from Pixabay Wordless Wednesday sums me up quite well today. I have a doctor’s appointment in two hours, and like always, I’m not looking forward to pouring out my problems in just ten minutes. Only to be told that I am old and can’t possible expect to feel like a Spring chicken anymore. Personally, I…

A New Week, better or worse?
—
by
First thing on Monday mornings, I usually look forward a new and hopefully better week. (pardon me while I laugh hysterically) Last week wasn’t great, what with the grim weather, and coping with a sub-arctic fridge. We kept turning it off, trying to stop the ice formation from getting any worse. Then there was the…
