Smokey Air'

Saturday, September 27th 2008

The air is smokey here as much of the brush and fallen tree limbs are being burn from the Hurricane. My asthma is kicking in big time with all the smoke in the air as a result. Some people are complaining as a result of this process of getting rid of Ike's destruction. I'm not too thrilled this way either. Other places are taking their brush and making it into mulch, which I prefer. Many houses are still without electricity in the older sections of town where tree branches down power lines that...

water retention & how did CSI NY END ?

Thursday, September 25th 2008

Everyone talks about water retention at some point in their lives. It's a sad fact of a woman's life. Some of us suffer from it more than others. It is for that reason I try not to eat gobs of salty foods and season my foods with basic spices rather than tons of salt. Unfortunately, this past week I had to eat a lot more foos that were canned and thus a little more salt than my body was used to.

Getting back in the groove

Tuesday, September 23rd 2008

Recovering from the hurricane is a little like getting back on a diet. You just do it. I was one of the lucky one ones whose house wasn't damage and life wasn't disrupted much. Still, I did have to go through life without power, clean out my frig, buy and re-stock supplies, and figure out how to make a already tight budget go further due to the strains of a storm that blew through. Through it all I learned I could survive living with my daughter ( yet again ), do with out electricity ( although...

Yea' I'm home now, and everything is a-ok. Tonight we are having steak, baked potatoes, swiss chard to celebrate coming through a difficult time. I probably gained a little weight from munching down on a few snacks that I shouldn't have, but now that the gym is back open I will be ab;e to get back into my routine again. I have much to do this week end as the house is very dirty and needs a lot of cleaning. We have some unpacking to do as well as to catch up chores that we regularly do on the wee...

power back on

Friday, September 19th 2008

Good news from my home. Late last night the power was restored in my block. So, this morning my husband went and turned on everything. We will spend the night at my daughter's while the house is cooling down and the frig is cooling to the proper temp. When we get home we have some cleaning to do since the house got very dirty and dusty while the windows were open. The humidity seemed to make every particle of dust stick to everything. Since the air has not been on in over a week the house has a...
