Another Walk

Jim walked with me again. When I go on my own, I stay on the main road with nice wide sidewalks through my neighborhood. Letting him lead the way he kept taking off on side streets. He said it wasn't boring like my way is. Well, if it gets the man up and moving, I'll do different because that is the goal. Each day so far, he has gone a bit farther. Today was 3.5 miles. I did get another pinecone to add to my basket.

I saw the metal dinosaur in someone's yard on this morning's walk. He was just hanging out trying to look mean. LOL.

In other family news we got Covid and Flu shots yesterday afternoon. One of them in each arm and both arms are sore this morning, mostly when I try to raise them over shoulder height. It should only last a day or so and I can deal with that vs being hospitalized for either one of those diseases.

When it comes to vaccines, I'm not even gonna ask. You do you and I hope that means taking good care of yourself with the idea that doing that helps those around you too.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

Getting Older, POTD, Shop News

What's on my mind?

I had a lovely time getting to know a new doctor this week. The doctor I have seen since I moved to Jackson has left town to start a practice in Bend Oregon. If you live there I can highly recommend Dr. Ellen Meyers MD.

Anyway the new doctor.....
She asked if I wanted a flu shot and I said yes. That pleased her and me. I missed a year once and caught the flu. I never want to be that sick again if it can be avoided. I know the shot doesn't provide perfect protection but so far the years that I got a flu shot I have not gotten the flu.That's good enough for me.

Now about that getting older part of today's title.....
It seems that my bones are thinning. I learned that is it the curse of post menopausal white women and that is exactly what I am. So I will be starting a once a week dose of medicine to improve my bone health. I guess that is better than breaking a hip. I will let you know at my next bone scan, in a year, how this works out over time.

Photo of the Day

Today I am sharing with you one of the beautiful sunsets from our recent Caribbean cruise. This one was just off the coast of Grand Cayman. The sky really was just like this. I have not edited or enhanced this picture in any way. Stunning, isn't it?

News from Cozy.Etsy.com

Great excitement and some worry in the shop this week. I sold a hat to someone on the other side of the country and that is the great excitement part.  Things I mail from here typically go from here to a bit sorting center in Salt Lake City which the package did. Now the worry inducing part. The package left Salt Lake the next day and has been in transit ever since. It should have been delivered on Monday and it is now Wednesday. I know this is a busy time of year for shippers but I am worried.
Let you know more about this next week.
