had a good sleep in my own bed and spent a restful day recovering from my camping trip;-)…

back to usual patterns and started my day with a fruit smoothie, thanks to the frozen fruit my grandson had picked up while he was house sitting…

lots of tv, reading and napping…

walked over and got my hair cut…

tiniest bit of purple left in it, lol…

it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the walk… even got a few flower photos in the process… the St. James Biz have done a great job with the planters…

back home I had lunch and did more resting;-)… enjoyed time in the garden, listening to the waterfall…

cooked some pickerel for dinner…

it is always nice to come home…

cards…

one of my Advent gifts was a set of flower therapy cards…

I have started to choose one each morning, read the information and set it out to look at… also try to think of the words behind it throughout the day…

used to read cards like this on a regular basis… nice to get back into a bit of a routine…

bye…

early this morning the kids went home… yesterday I worked and they, along with my two younger grandsons, picked me up at the end of the day…

even though it was crazy cold, they had gone to the zoo so that Auntie and Uncle could visit Journey to Churchill… the boys were excited to show everything there, as we go quite often… one of their Christmas gifts is a family pass so that we can go whenever the mood strikes us…

when we got home there was pizza making fun… all three of them had a good time and in the end we had a lovely dinner, although the prep left a big mess…

today I had leftover pizza for my lunch…

after the kids were picked up by their daddy, we had a short rest and then the final packing took place…

we were at the hangar just after midnight and they checked in and went right through security…

I headed home and to bed while they waited until 3 am to get onto their flight… they texted when they got on the plane and when they arrived in Ottawa… they are now home safe and sound and getting back to their routines…

I am trying to get back into my routine as well, but it sure is quiet around here today, lol…

a goodbye selfie;-)…

eyes…

this morning I was able to get in to see my optometrist…

  
I’ve been using ointment for weeks trying to get rid of a persistent hordeolum on my upper eyelid… besides looking bad, sometimes it is also painful…

for a couple of years I have been using eyelid cleaning pads every day to be sure my eyelids stay clean and healthy… really have to be on top of blepharitis so it doesn’t recur… 

now we are adding something else to the regime… at least once a week I am supposed to use a heated mask over a damp facecloth for ten minutes…

here’s the mask I will be using which I had to buy today…

 
great that there are all these products to help deal with this ongoing problem…

always something, lol…

part of my morning routine includes fifteen to twenty minutes on the treadmill every work day…

  
the weekends are a bit more laid back, lol…

watch a morning show while I walk and sometimes check out my social media programs…

very occasionally I will walk in the evening but I find my energy level is highest in the morning so that is the best time for me…

I also try to walk a few items a week on the treadmill at the office…

am supposed to use weights on a regular basis but I’ve kind of fallen off the wagon… 

my goal is to do some weight training three times a week, even if just for a few minutes…

I firmly believe that the exercise really helps keep me well…

exercise…

tonight I went to aquasize for the first time in ages…

was a bit worried whether I would make it through the class without becoming exhausted, but made it through no problem…

reminded me of yoga… just last week I was realizing how much better I have become… we did a pose that a year ago I was only able to hold for a few seconds and I can now do it as long as everyone else… sometimes you don’t realize how you are improving…

was great to spend some time with my friend as well… we are hoping to get back to a regular schedule when she is in the city…

happily we got to go out for pho after swimming… I was very happy about this as I hadn’t organized anything for my supper…

20140522-221924-80364632.jpgone of the great things about their pho is there are always leftovers for the next day…

hope I still feel great tomorrow, lol…
