Last night I was “channel surfing” and a program captured my attention. The program was on a TV channel I trust. This morning I ordered the advertised product named VINIA. Here is the link to their website: ViniaBloodFlow.com. I’m confident VINIA will deliver remarkable health benefits to this old lady with detested problems.

Friends have been “in touch” during the recent twenty-four hours. They are so supportive and express confidence that I “can do it.”  Now I look forward to “a new adventure.”  Please keep me in your prayers and positive thoughts.

The cardiologist doctor’s offices are “clear across town.” Waco traffic is a nightmare and I am terrified to drive beyond my comfort zone (see map). “They” have me scheduled for an appointment on Tuesday morning and I am terrified at the prospect of that trip. True story: You could not pay me to drive on Interstate 35!! “The 340 Loop”  has heavy traffic because drivers want to avoid I–35. I’m requesting your prayers and thinking–of–you–thoughts.

I see the road to recovery since a friend sent a web link with valuable information. I condemn myself for “too much sitting and too little exercise.” The Coronavirus pandemic made me do it!! My healthy-eating was ignored because I rarely went grocery shopping.

A brighter day because the Meals on Wheels meal was actually edible.

Without energy but with a teaspoon of determination, this old lady washed the few dishes. Truthfully, I despise being reduced to a “do nothing” old lady.

A “good” visit with my doctor yesterday. She is very compassionate and the kindest doctor I’ve ever had (not that I’ve had many doctors during my lifetime). The “bad news” is the A-Fib has returned and I’m in much discomfort (truthfully pain). She made a referral to a cardiologist. SINCERE THANKS to friends for their phone call to check on me because they missed my usually daily blog message. SINCERE THANKS to my dear friend, Deb, for the boxes of food after I commented on the unappealing meals from Meals On Wheels. SINCERE THANKS to “Mr. Red” for Pecan Praline ice cream and fresh fruit.

“Good morning”  to my blog friends. I spent the entire night in my comfortable chair/glider and it ceased to be comfortable about midnight. The little insects are still crawling around in my bed. I see them, I kill them. “They” do not “trail” so I can’t see where they are coming from.

Awake at two in the morning because the teenie–tiny little insects were crawling on me. OMG, what’s the old lady supposed to do? Each one was instantly plucked from whatever part of my body and squeezed to death between my fingers. Yet another night where my sleep was rudely interrupted. ~~ I don’t eat in bed so food crumbs can’t be the attraction.  This old lady is getting increasingly cantankerous so the insects aren’t attracted because I’m so sweet (LOL). ~~ Three loads of laundry yesterday plus a shower, washing my hair, and clean pajamas. All those events were an “exercise in futility”?  ~~ A friend suggested I get a “bug bomb” (or two) and set one off in my trailer home. I’d have to leave home for several hours and, according to her, a big clean–up job afterward. ~~ EXCUSE ME!! A “BUG BOMB” IS NOT ON MY “TO–DO “LIST. ~~

Counting my blessings!! A resident neighbor had a stroke last week and he is in the hospital and not doing well. I’m so grateful that my “a-fib“ was diagnosed before it caused me to have a stroke.

POSTSCRIPT @ 11:10 AM: I ought to be thankful for Meals on Wheels but the food items are things I rarely or never eat.

The weather is slightly cooler, praise the Lord!! Lorraine is feeling better, praise the Lord!! Reinforced with Tylenol, a project was tackled: Strip the bed and wash the bedding in hot water, and dry in a hot dryer.

The little insects are still distracting from my already limited good night’s sleep. My “comfortable chair” isn’t very comfortable after several hours. Hopefully, clean bedding will resolve the problem?

Postscript @ two o’clock: Extra precaution thanks to lady-friend, Deb. She ordered… and had it mailed to me. This is for “sugar ants” but may attract the teenie–tiny insects?! This is positioned in the corner, on the left side, at the front of the bed.

Another lack-luster meal. With food like this, I’ll quickly muster enough strength to go grocery shopping. It has been more than two months… and the refrigerator is bare of preferred items.
