GETTING OLDER – OK

The last few days I have been worried, upset and nervous about the future. I worry about my hubby getting senile. I worry about one of us getting sick. I never use to worry and now I worry overtime. Today I was busy all day so the day past without me fretting too much.
In the morning I went on the treadmill and then we went to look at two condos. The first one was HUGE and very nice. The bedroom and living room were so big. For me it is wasted space. I would like a large den that I could use as a craft room. Anyhow we will continue looking. For us there is no rush at this time.
This afternoon I went to pick up my grandson. He wanted to go swimming so of course we did. He is doing so well. He is swimming alone underwater and overwater. I am so proud of him. Then we came home to have supper with my hubby. I took him home about eight o’clock.
Tomorrow morning I will go on the treadmill for forty four minutes. Then I will make meatballs and a brisket. I need these for Friday night. The brisket was over 70. I guess that’s why I don’t buy too much meat anymore!!!
In the afternoon I am picking up my other grandson and I’ll take him horseback riding. We will have supper and then go watch my other grandson play baseball.
I hope my son will come watch too. I am going to email him. He feels very uncomfortable around his ex. I don’t know if it’s his feelings or ones that he gets from his girlfriend.
My hubby will be leaving for the country in the morning. I am going Friday because I need my car in the country. Saturday six of us are going to Burlington, Vermont.
So that was my day. Time to get some sleep.

I love swimming and meatball sounds like a good time 🙂

Your grandson is doing so many neat things now that he’s become a bigger boy! I’ve been reading you a long time and remember when he was just small. Time flies! :o) !! ryn: I did not do anything different re: my blood pressure. I am just finally on a medication that actually WORKS for me…. BenicarHCT. Well, I stopped drinking coffee, but I didn’t drink much anyway so I doubt that made much ofa difference. And I do take two fish oil capsules a day too. hugs, Weesprite

Well, you have the same worries as everyone else…getting senile is so common these days. It seems to be hereditary, so if your parents had it, then you really have more reason to worry. My MIL has dementia so I sure hope hubby doesn’t get it. I’m not going to worry about it because when I worry, it’s as good as setting it in stone that it WILL happen.

try not to worry about things you have no control over…worry will create more problems that it helps. Ask yourself “what is the worst case scenario and what can I do to ensure I cope with the future?” Personally I think the future is gloomier for our grandkids, considering what our greed and exploitation has done to the planet and to humanity…..and that is something we can change. Remember the serenity prayer…… hugs P

i think today is a good day to go swimming. i never worried about the future til raymond got sick and died. now, that’s all i worry about. but, worrying doesn’t change a thing. so, i’ve just about given it up. what’s gonna happen is gonna happen even if i worry. take care,

Was that a whole brisket or trimmed? We went to Safeway recently and found brisket to be $48 — that was too much and we came home to our little mom and pop store and got one for half that. In fact, we smoked 5 of them for our anniversary party and still have three of them in the freezer (about 10-12 lbs apiece). They are so tender when they are smoked at very low temps!

A few years ago i thought I was invisable…but then after 40 is when it all sunk in. And a couple of years ago i realuized my son was half my age then I knew that I was getting older. And Now I am going through those horrible hot flashes…I just hope i can end them and grow old without anymore surprises…
