had to go to the dentist for a couple of fillings… sad face…

I am seriously stressed by dentists, but go regularly so that I don’t have any problems… clearly had a very negative experience as a child and the fear has never left me…

I’ve been going to a specialized dental office for over twenty years and still I am nervous every time I go, lol…

the nerves at this appointment came because many years ago something happened when I was getting the freezing in my upper teeth… I mentioned it, and she changed the type of medication she used and then stood and chatted with me until it was time to start the procedure… clearly an attempt to keep me calm, lol…

got this shot as I was walking back to the office… felt much more relaxed as I passed by the Delta…

enjoyed…

quiet day today…

went and got a hair cut…

topped up the hot tub, trimmed some Virginia creeper and took a few pictures in the garden of the last few blooming plants…

made an appointment for a pedicure with a friend next week and finished the turkey soup…

enjoyed it with some of Mom’s dumplings…

great day…

one of the things I love about Thanksgiving is the preparation…

today is my day for prepping… I’ve been making Thanksgiving dinner for decades and I’ve got it down to a science, lol…

I do miss my beloved’s help… besides making sure the house was clean and tidy ~ particularly the front closet, lol, he often made apple pie from scratch… yesterday a Facebook reminder from ten years ago mentioned the smell of apples being peeled for pie…

used the mandolin to slice up the rather tiny turnip… next up was getting potatoes peeled and cut up… I made extra so the boys can take home leftovers to get through the week…

then on to the stuffing… used two large loaves of bread because the boys requested “extra, extra”… hand ripped the bread and the mandolin worked great for the onions;-)…

table is nearly set although I couldn’t find the box of Thanksgiving decorations, lol…

yesterday morning I was struggling with a cold… I decided to do as little as possible and rest up…

had some legs and thighs in the freezer and spent a portion of the day making some healing chicken soup…

had it for supper and it was very tasty;-)…

have two more servings left, after I ate one for today’s lunch…

also took the time to enjoy my flowers… because flowers make me happy…

I think that resting and doing as little as possible over the last two days has really helped my body beat the cold…

yay…

I’ve been going to physio for the last few weeks…

my knee issue was likely caused by a hip displacement situation, as one of my friends would say, lol…

today Val put heat on my hips and ice under my knee while I was waiting to see Michael… I had a lovely relaxing time before he arrived to work on me…

after he did a few checks on my legs and hips, he showed me a few exercises to follow… unless I have further issues I do not need to go back…

watching others come and go I was reminded of how truly lucky I am… as painful as it was, my knee/hip was only an issue for a few weeks… so many are dealing with ongoing problems that will not fix themselves, ever…

I am truly blessed and happy that I can recognize that…

well, my ear is doing much better… so far the meds are working with no side effects…

my technique is to take a photo of the box just before or after I use the drops so that I can remember what time I need to take them next, lol…

took the shot in a hurry this morning…

helpful, though…

I’ve been thinking of beginnings and endings a lot lately…

a friend recently lost a loved one and it has reminded me of my own story…

the ending of my beloved’s time here was a very difficult matter to deal with…

and I think of the beginning of my new journey and how things have changed in my life…

I am slightly more independent… can even park in the garage with ease, lol… have been able to travel… so many positive changes…

everyday is a new opportunity…

so yesterday I discovered that the issue isn’t really osteoarthritis in my knee… it is a problem with my hips…

at the physio office they discovered that one leg was longer than the other, my hips were out of alignment and my spine was twisted…

some things were done to me that were a little painful, but will help with the situation and I think my legs were back to normal length by the time I left…
