What - a - dump.

So said Bette Davis, once in a film, long time ago.

Back yard looks like this, with much wind and rain.

That's all I got ....

I kicked influenza's ass in just a couple days. I went back to daily exercise less than 24 hours after my last fever. 

Pro tips:

1) MAKE yourself go outdoors and get some sunlight, for at least 20-30 minutes. I don't care how cold it is.

2) Double dose vitamin C and zinc.

3) MAKE yourself do some form of light exercise. Get your blood pumping. Even a 10 minute walk helps.

4) Recognize what real food is and consume it. Meat, selective fruits, and selective vegetables.

5) Water. Lots.

 

Bonus points if you have the balls to get your blood rushing first thing in the morning by taking an ice cold shower for a couple minutes. I'm back to my asshole self.

Food Trivia: Avocados are also known, as Alligator Pears. And they are classified as a fruit.

Huh. I forgot all about that.     Yum.

This quote made me laugh out loud...

despite not waking up until after 11:45 am (a house a few miles away exploded, and the boom woke me up), I still have managed to take care of all 3 major things that were on my list to get done today.

 

(and I threw in a load of laundry)

yay me.

Growing up, I thought old cars from the 50s only played music from the 50s on their car radios.

Not sure this is the place, but I needed to say something.

My roommate of 4 years recently passed away quite suddenly and unexpectedly. He has been living upstairs in the home I share with my husband. He was a great guy, and we truly miss him.

I am now going on week 3 of cleaning out and boxing up his rooms. Unfortunately, there was no list of password or logins, so an iMac, several lap tops, a few iPads, and other electronics are locked and may never be able to be used again. Also, he has a few bank and stock accounts.

My advice: make a list of passwords and logins and share it with your husband, wife, partner, etc.

That's it. That's the post.
