Well hello to everyone!! WHAT a past few months this has been! I have no idea when I dropped off the radar here… but have been thinking of you all. Had to come back today….Thinking of Florida and the other SE states. Corsair! I can read that you are certainly getting ready for whichever way H.Dorian decides to plunder. 🙁 Praying for all of you in potential path!! And for those islands in Bahamas…..cannot imagine what they are enduring right now. 🙁 Over 200+ gusts? Unimaginable. I was only in 1 hurricane..a big one. That was enlightening.
We’ve had a pretty much delightful summer weather. Rain when needed. Haven’t had too much in the way of wildfire. What there was…was quickly put out. Nonetheless, we remain vigilant and ready. ‘Tis our season for wildfire….and not yet over. Very tall wild grasses – tall as me and I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Potential fire-fodder.
DH and I have had medical issues….not serious but time-consuming. Our elderlies….that’s a whole ‘nother story. 🙁 They. Are. Elderly.
What we have been doing mostly is clearing out stuff/junk/nonsense! It’s slow but every itty bitty corner of renewed organization is wonderful. As in: Oh look! I found ….this or that… Often it’s prep stuff I’ve stashed and ….if you can’t find it — you can’t use it! Even micro-decluttering is valid and time-worthy.
I’ve also continued walking…with dog. I’ve done as much as a mile a day…counting AM and PM walks. For my level of disability – I’m thrilled. I’m getting faster too, on the good days, of course. BUT I must remember not to ‘have my head in the clouds’ on a couple of blind spots in the road. Had to make an unexpected leap to the ditch one fine morning. Hmph! I know better and should have had dog on short length of retractable leash. So then I calmly move over from edge of road to well-out-of-the-way in ditch…and she’s right next to me. Welll, she was about 10 feet in front ….meaning I have to get waaay sideways to drag her off road and out of the way of vehicle. The wise vehicle driver always slows down right there, fortunately, so we were ok. Unfortunately, my leg seized and I fell on knee – still frantically zipping-in the leash to grab dog. Driver stopped to help cuz I fell, tho I was completely off the road and safe. My only concern was dangling dog. All was well but that’s the last inattentive moment I want to have!! Gouged knee is a reminder…hmph!
Well, I want to go back and catch up a bit in the Aug….July Check-In posts. With all that’s going on here on our home front, not sure if I’m able to be regular. But miss you all.
OldMtWoman ….definitely keep on prepping!
