Autumn

Busy day today.  Both Bob and I have annual physician's check ups today.  We went through the blood work and machine tests and today the doc will look us over and give us the results.  Both of us should be find.  Only huge problem is our weight.  So, we'll see how it goes.

I've been on a slow moving merry go round search this way and that for stuff I want to do.  I am a Harry Potter fan, but I feel guilty when I spend too much time reading or listening to podcasts or researching.  I shouldn't since I'm semi-old and retired.  No boss to tell me what to do.  Bob really doesn't care, as long as he has clean laundry and food, he's a contented man.  I wouldn't neglect him.

The weather is gorgeous here in our Valley right now.  I love the fall desert climate.  It's time to take a drive or two up to the mountains and other nice places to see the leaves changing.  Our tree leaves are changing very gradually to yellow just a few at a time.  Beautiful.

I realized why I was depressed and crying, it was the pain pills.  They were also creating other internal problems so I've tried to cut back on them.  I am monitoring my pain levels and activity and using them only when I have too.  I need knee replacement on both knees, but I am huge chicken and don't particularly want my knees cut off.  Once they're gone, that's it, and nothing is ever perfect.  I have too many negative elements going for me that will create problems, I realistic about that, so for now, I'll deal with the inconvenience of pain and walking slower.  With the onset of cooler weather, I am going to attempt to walk more often with Bob in the evening and hopefully that may help.  We'll see.

I'll be adding and changing photos soon.  Hope you are well and life is good and blessed for you.  Take good care, and God bless.
