A lot has happened since the drywall entry. I was able to start back at Curves last week. I only got dizzy a little, on two of the machines. The second day I took my adavert and it went better. Last night I didn't take the pill, but I took it real easy on those two machines.
Some days I feel real good after Curves. On others, I really hurt. I think it has to do with osteoarthritis and the weather. If we have high or low pressure my sinuses hurt, so I am guessing the arthritis works the same way. So far I have kept my commitment to go Monday's Wednesdays and Fridays between 4 and 6 PM. It is easier for me than trying to go in the morning as I like to do other things in the morning and was missing Curves altogether.
I discovered a website which will calculate the carbs/ fats/ calories etc and gives you a nice chart you can print out showing how close you are to goal. It is not as easy to use as Weight Watchers, but then it is FREE, and WW does not give you anything but points. I took the charts with me to my doctor visits and they both had heard of Spark People.com and were as pleased with the graphics (charts) as I was.

Well. It is time to eat dinner and see what is left of the news. I keep turning the air on colder and colder as the sun is on the front of the house now. But it is six thirty and having the air on cold at six PM for the first time has got to be cheaper than having it on all day at 76 degrees. Love that screen door.

Finished Garage
Drywall repairs are done, and garage is beautiful. We won't mention
money. Most say I got a good deal. Its one of those things about
being single and limited in the man department. Plus you pay a person
what is due. I have a nice screen door that makes it possible to use the garage door as a huge window on that side of the house. When it is below 77 degrees, which it actually is sometimes, it saves on air conditioning. Sometimes I sit in the chair in the open garage and have my morning coffee. I even park my car sometimes in there. Now, I have my garden cart at the end of the garage, and very little hanging from the walls.
Tonight I will take the car out, so I can use the wheeled orange trolley to take the bags to the curb.
When I pull the car in I feel like I am driving into the sky. The blue is very pretty.

Drywall Repairs
DRYWALL REPAIR, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, PAINT, SCRABBLE AND OTHER PHENOMENOM
Yesterday Rich Pardon came over and began the molding for the bottom of the walls in the garage. The walls were terrible, and with his meticulous work the end product should be smooth walls, a light blue, that I will probably be very careful of when it comes to hanging stuff. In fact, moving everything in the garage to either the basement, or my living room or small bath has given me the opportunity to do more on the sort, clean, toss, or use stuff goal of my retired life.
Yesterday S. my next door neighbor with whom I have not spoken since the CO1 episode of last November, and I had a good talk. I gather his complaint is with R. next door and not with me. IMHO both have anger issues that need resolving. And I think they can be resolved. Neither man is a bad person, or neighbor for that matter, but when bad language is used in anger it can inflame.
The garage is looking well. Rich just arrived for the afternoon work. I trust he got his needed rest. We used about one can of primer, and 1 and a half cans of blue paint. I would say that Rick is very good at what he does. Plus he likes my cooking.
