Crazy Kin of Mine

I just ran across a video I didn't know I had. It was of my 60-year-old Florida Son, Preacher, and his two teenage children still living at home, on the day that Hurricane Ian was the worst in their middle part of Florida. They were out in their back yard on their trampoline jumping and laughing,... Sign in to see full entry.

Going And Doing Not Meant For The Elderly

I wore myself out on several levels but I'm afraid to lie down and take a nap because I ate too much stuff--stuff that can bother my digestion if I don't stay up and keep moverin'. I know better than to do that, but sometimes I just lose control. So I sat down at the computer to check things out.... Sign in to see full entry.

Worn Out and I Have a Long Way to Go

Usually on Mondays, Son P.D. picks me up as soon as he gets Phil off for the day and we go to one of the largest (and most expensive markets I think) where I get my exercise pushing a basket up and down the aisles and picking up needed items and goodies for the week. Today, I really didn't feel like... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh Yeah:

The In's and Out's, Up's and Down's of Life.... My furnace is really going to town to keep my place warm and toasty. I have a feeling it is going to be a long winter when it gets here. In the meantime I really am concerned for the people flooded and damaged by the terrible hurricane. And, I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Gesundheit To Me!

No, I am not German, but that is what I have heard all my life if someone sneezes... "Gesundheit" meaning "good health" in English. Well, this morning that is all I seem to be doing, over and over and over again. I don't seem to be sick, no excessive dust in the air, so I am perplexed. The first... Sign in to see full entry.

Ask Me Tomorrow

This has been a very busy week for me. Two days I went places and three times I had company. Got my afternoon naps in very late or not at all and I've messed up any night sleeping schedule I had tried to work out. This might not seem catastrophic to you, but keeping a schedule is paramount for... Sign in to see full entry.

My Fastest Time Was A Freak Occurrance

No matter how hard I try to be fast, I cannot beat it. Actually, as in all things, I get slower and slower. But, it helps me to get the sleep out of my head, along with a cup of black coffee, and begin the day with a little mental oomph. What I'm talking about is computer Freecell. Trying to beat...

My Brain Still Works...At Least Part of the Time

I know that my brain works, actually in fascinating and unique ways. It often entertains me, now and then it brings me interesting things that I long ago thought I had forgotten. One of my favorite jobs it does is to bring me memories in great detail. But... if I do not make an effort to detail... Sign in to see full entry.

I Call Her "Professor"

She is a very good example of "never give up". In spite of many things that tried to hold her back through the years of her life (50 of them now), she has continued to hold on, working at her goal. Through a long hospitalization of covid and recovery period, she is back working at her love of... Sign in to see full entry.

Again?

I am finding myself sliding into one of those periods of time where I'm again backing off from writing on Blogit and Facebook, though I am enjoying reading others and commenting on your posts. This seems to be a periodic thing for me anymore. I am fighting it, but the harder I try, the more I cannot... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
