Warm Day!!!

Pickle ball was a little chilly starting out, but before we finished I was wearing a sleeveless top... and not playing well.  Uffda!!! Such is life.  Bruce went fishing with Brad, Dave, and John.  They bought their limit by 10, but Bruce got seasick.   Denny and I walked the park and I stopped to take a picture of a beautiful rose.  Mert got her loveseat from Wayfair.  Denny put it together this afternoon and we brought up a lazyboy that she wanted gone to audition.  Denny grabbed it for his chair.  Uffda!!  I made 2 lemon meringue pies and gave one to Griscelda.  They leave about 3 tomorrow morning.  I'll miss them.  We ate supper at Gail's.  Great food.  I joined a a video Lifestyle 28 facebook room.  Nice visit.  

Donna Flea Market

Wonderful morning.  We picked up Bill and Kathy about 9:30 and drove to Donna Weslaco.  Fun morning looking around at all the stuff.   I got a pretty plant for Connie when she comes to 4 Seasons.  We did get 5 pounds of big onions for $5.  We stopped at San Bonito and ate at Long Horn Cattle country.  Great meal and visit.  We stopped at Real's to look at the new lights and try the insertion machine.  Bruce came over before he ate with Gail and Bruce.  

Chilly again

Well, I posted my IF journey on L:28.  Uffda!!   It took a while to get warmed up.  No pickle ball at 8 instead at 2:30.  Denny was fixing poppers and I made sweet potato fries.   Gail and I went to Thrift stores in the am and looked for shorts and water shoes for Bruce.  They said I could keep the golf clubs that came with the pink golf bag I got at Texas Thrift.  That was good news for the Henderson grands.  We stopped at Lopez and got milk and a T bone steak.  

This was shared on a Covid survivor group...have heard many of these before but it seems helpful:

HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME

No one ever talks about how to fight Covid at home. I came down with Covid in November. I went to the hospital, running a fever of 103, a rapid heart beat, and other common symptoms that come with Covid. While I was there they treated me for the high fever, dehydration and pneumonia.

The doctor sent me home to fight Covid with two prescriptions - Azithromycin 250mg & Dexamethason 6mg. When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, "What can I do to help fight this at home?" She said, “Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lay on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in.

Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.

When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lay back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.

Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus.These are good for Potassium. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. Vitamin’s D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. "

Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter.

We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn't a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me.

Chilly

I was up about 7 and listened to Mandy.  Bruce H. had called off pickle ball except for the hardy, which is not me.  Bruce N. worked on the bathroom at Hendersons.  Denny and I started to work on pictures, but with both of us trying to delete pictures the process was very slow, so just Denny ran the delete train.  We did play pickle ball at 3.  When I came back Denny was making fried green tomatillos.  We invited Kathy, Bruces and Gail.  I, by mistake, thru away the envelopes that Denny had been saving to verify that we were Texas residents ... to hopefully speed up the process of getting the Covid shot.  Uffda!!! Wrong move on my part.  That and always having the last word are not good attributes.  Uffda!!  Watched Courage to Run!!! Great movie.  I showed Bruce N pictures of Matt's lake fish!!! Impressive.

Happy Birthday Mandy!!!

 I am so thankful to have you as a daughter.  May you continue to use the gifts God has given you to help others.  

Love Sundays.  We watched last weeks AEF sermon, then Rory's message (really good), then Kiron.  I made soup and bread.  Denny and I started deleting some pictures.  Bruce came to watch BB and we ate soup and bread.  Poor guy, we spent a lot of time looking at OABCIG football finals.  I went to Trivia.  My team lost.  What's new.  

 

busy day!

Full morning.  Gail, Joyce, and I went to yoga, then we (GJFBBB) played pickle ball, then we (GFBDJB) went to 77 Flea market.  I bought avocados, NO SURPRISE!! a pineapple, and Denny got some jalepenios.  Bruce came over for lunch; after he left Denny and I cleaned the house, laundry, then Denny wiped off the outside of the car.  He was so happy to get so much done.  We invited Griscelda and John over to visit.  I went to bed pretty early and slept well.  

                                                       

Happy birthday, Matt!!

So glad that I was alive today!  So glad Matt was my first born 44 years ago!.  May God continue to bless him through out his life.  I am so thankful for Matthew Brent Johnson.

Another great day.   We were just around the park in the am watering the grass seed by Joan's lot.  After lunch we went to SPI beach.  It was very chilly, but we stayed until 4, Lots of bird as we put out crackers. Tthen one thrift store, and then HEB.  After unloading groceries I visited at Gail and Bruces and watched a card game.
