Dear Teresa

Yes, this is an open letter to you, however, all my blogger buddies know you are my long, lost friend, so don’t worry.

How’s it going? I haven’t talked to you in a while, so I wanted to check in and make sure things are going well for you.

I had a birthday on the 12th, so now I’m 60 but that’s ok, age is just a number, right?!

As far as I’m concerned, you are as young as you feel, and I feel pretty good so far. My flexibility is great still. I can hug my knees to my chest and bend down to touch my toes. That means everything is pretty much in working order. I doubt I can do the move the lady is doing in the picture, but maybe later I’ll give it a try. (not!!!)

Also, the plethora of pills and supplements I take on a daily basis doesn’t hurt either. They help keep my knee from hurting for the most part. 😉  I give most of the credit to Tumeric supplements and my new arthritis medication (Diflunisal).

I even worked some in the yard over the weekend without my knee swelling, (Although I almost passed out from the heat and sun exposure) so that is good news. Of course, I was hacking up bushes and not doing any squatting or bending, so that is probably why. I took out two down to stumps and raked up a large bag of leaves before Dave came and rescued me by getting the last one and doing the bundling of all the twigs and branches.

Once we cooled off and took a much-needed shower, we went downtown and had a lovely dinner with the gift card my oldest son Sean gave me for my birthday. It was to PF Chang’s and the meal was good, but our waitress could have been better. I had a delicious adult beverage that was supposed to be a coconut cooler, but it was more like dessert and bothered my stomach the rest of the night. It tasted like coconut flavored sweetened condensed milk on ice with rum. I don’t do sugar on a regular basis, or real milk either because they don’t like my stomach. Oh well, lesson learned!

I’m still working when I can on my transcription lessons. I’m hoping to be done by the end of Spring. I’m doing time coding now and I hate it! One more module after this one and it will be time for the final. I’m so ready! After this, I have to get back to it.

How about you? What is your good news lately? How’s the farm? What about your crafts? Have you been out to eat lately? I want to hear everything! I miss you so much and I hate that we live so far away. We must FaceTime again real soon! I know you are busy, so just let me know when the best time would be.

Love ya, girl! Peace out!
