The End ish

Funny thing. The less you have, the more others try to tell you what's best for you

 On the hunt for a new pair of size 12, 4E  shoes for 5 to 10 bucks. Preferably with velcro.

Not as easy as you would think. 

They are for emergency use if my foot blows up again. It's a clown shoe compared to my normal size. I go cheap because it's possible I will need to cut the toe out and take out the insole.

I don't even have any good skills...

 I told my wife I saw this fantastic video explaining how there is no excuse not to eat healthy while traveling...whether on the road camping or in a hotel. 

For $20ish dollars in ingredients, he showed how to make coffee pot shrimp and broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. 

It made sense. 

Then my wife said, "have you ever seen sushi served on a naked lady?" 

In my mind, I was like, how can you be sure if it is fresh? 

I was thinking back several years, to when a lady had offered to buy us dinner. She said it was on her. 

I was like, can we have plates? Plates seem more sanitary. 

Anyhow, I went from wanting coffee pot shrimp, to not wanting seafood at all. 

Somehow, my mind moved to an accent in blockbuster films that bothered me. 

Nebula, in the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers films.

 Is that the female version of Napoleon Dynamite?  

I am not mocking. It is brilliant, how that character is done, whether it is what I hear, or if I am wrong. 

but damn...

Please Lord, make my wife stop saying " Coochi Sushi". 

Best Medicine.

 So...the best? week I have had in 6 months, healthwise.

I walked four days, on the fourth day walked twice, and the fifth day decided moving was a bad idea. Slept in the boot, but then did five hours of dishwashing and normal chores, and today walked a mile, plus two trips around wally world. So probably at least a mile and a quarter or more. The 5 hours dishwashing and chores....on my feet, was by far the hardest. 

That was it for me. 

When I say 5 hours of dishwashing....this is the week we are doing meal prep and don't have a dishwasher.  It will be getting hot outside soon, and we want to continue walking and such....so we are planning out meals, getting the hard work out of the way, and only have reheating to worry about. ( Utility bills in the hot months. Ovens are the enemy of A/C.) 

These are the things older people have to think about...what if one of us is in the hospital...what if we are both hurting....so we make sure we have lots of easy to prepare meal options. 

My best? comment had to do with the pain. 

My wife has taken care of me for months when I could not.  I hope I have earned that, 'cause none of us want to put it all on anyone else. 

It is amazing how much better pain feels when you know you earned it.  I know how my health issues work. I have seen the patterns. Immobility will be coming for me soon. I need sweat, and sunlight when I can get it.  Hope to see the kids and the grandkids soon.

 

Family.

Best medicine.
