This old lady ****almost**** fell but she firmly believes an angel caught her and spared her a broken hip or broken leg. Gratefully, IcyHot soothes the pain from a twisted leg and swiveled hip!!! ~~~~ What? How? The old lady missed a step!!

This Encouragement for Today message was in my email inbox first thing this morning. Oh, how I need that “encouragement for today”!! I solicit your prayers or positive thoughts for my present and future well-being.

… but Lorraine’s gotta do it.

Old age is such a bummer! I don’t have strength in my hands to twist off the nuts (and my plyers weren’t much help either). I don’t have the strength and energy to lift and carry heavy boxes. This move is going to kill me?!

Personally, I think I need the entire month of December to pack things for a move. However, the man who is available to more my possessions says “this week, next week?”  A dear lady-friend stopped by to visit and hear all the details about my trip to Waco.  Her question: “What are you going to do with the propane tank?”  My answer: “Hopefully the company will buy it back.”  Her response: “I’ll buy it.”  I phoned the propane company and they will transfer the tank from my place to lady-friend’s home with “two days notice.”  Things are happening extremely fast (warp speed) and I am rushing to get things packed. (I don’t move at “warp speed”; I think I need the entire month of December!!)

“Bookends”  (lol)!! Temperature documented just prior to leaving on a one-day trip and just moments after I returned home. In a manner of speaking, I saw the sun come up and I saw the sun go down. Three-hundred sixty-two miles round trip to Waco, Texas. I’m frazzled!! For six years, I’ve limited my trips to fifteen miles round trip to Livingston for groceries. The long drive in unfamiliar territory was a major accomplishment for this old lady.

This morning I went on an unexpected journey. No, I didn’t leave home; I was exploring hidden treasures in my trailer home. I was dressed and ready to go “if and when”  I received a call from an RV Park resident needing a ride to her doctor. I have a favorite necklace that I usually wear with my attractive black pullover sweater. Several weeks ago, I broke the chain. Today I began searching jewelry boxes and crafts-items boxes looking for a very small “O”-ring.  OMG, I found jewelry items I’d totally forgotten. (The last several years I’ve worn very little jewelry.) But I found a small “O”-ring and managed to reconnect the chain. It is slightly different than original but I doubt anyone will notice. Now I’m excited about occasionally wearing a long-ignored pair of earrings or forgotten necklaces. In one picture, see the several containers with jewelry and crafts items. See the necklace* and I challenge you to find the repair (lol).

*No, that isn’t the “black sweater.” That’s the cover on the back of my easy chair.
