Yes, it's true I am surrounded by a sense of peace. I like it, who wouldn't? I recently had a scare when I went in for my yearly check-up... fortunately no, there is nothing to be concerned about. But in the process I, of course, did a lot of research to see what I would be facing IF and what I could do to make sure that IF didn't happen I at least could make some changes that might help out with keeping the old body functioning.
Low and behold.... there were several things I found out.... one chicken if it is not natural, range, organic and every other healthy word you can think of, produces something called xenogestenes and those in turn can make a woman produce fibroids. Not good for any woman at any age, but in particular not something a woman my age wants, needs or hopes for.
So, I will pay excruciatingly high prices for fowl and just eat a bit less.... actually as someone I know pointed out to me, grocery chicken is shot full of water so when you buy an "everything healthy" bird that weighs 5 pounds you will get 5 pounds of bird (including bones). Now doesn't that make us all feel better? I mean really that means that our dollars really do go further purchasing "everything healthy". Overall, I do purchase very wisely and almost "everything healthy" but there is more I can do so I will. And while I do that I will be thankful that I can afford to do so.
Right now, I am having a great time visiting my nephew Jesse and his fam. We have been having a lot of fun, and laughing a lot too. My next hope and dream... to get a Wii and Rayman,; oh my it is hilariously fun. Tomorrow we will get ready for the Battle of the Bands they are putting on for the high school kids and Rise Up International and Meg and Andy will be here too.
Saturday, evening I fly home and get ready to go to Palm Springs with girlfriends next week for a couple of days. Off-season = CHEAP. Ye-Ha more fun ahead!
Then to top off all this "comp time" we will see Les Miserables at PCPA's outdoor theatre in Solvang. Followed by a mad dash to get ready to get back to work!
