Good day Bloggets. Thank you so much for your kind words
this week. Donna and Ruth, Terry and Carrie, bless you all for your feedback re
blogs. Remember if there is anything you wish for me to write about, then just
let me know.
Well today is Sunday and it’s been busy. Hub now is chilling
as he isn’t at all well.
Our Son is working hard, he has seven days in a row of work
before a day off. And early starts too as he is working overtime every day and
weekends.
I was reading today that wrapping your feet in cabbage can
relieve joint pain like arthritis.
And now for a soup that is meant to be so good for us.
Coriander, great for inflammation and more. Lemongrass is essential
for vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and vitamin C.
lemongrass is also known to be good for your stomach, insomnia, respiratory
disorders, fever, aches, rheumatism, type 2 diabetes and fights infections. Kaffir
lime leaves are good for the blood, help cure digestive issues, they are good
to fight against stress and so much more. Ginger, we all know the benefits of
that, it’s great for your stomach and colds. As long as you don’t put too much
in too, it tastes so good in soups. To this mix add chili paste if you wish,
mushrooms green onions at least three garlic cloves and whatever else you fancy
basically, I love soups because you can just chuck in whatever you want. But this
base is so good for you.
A strange thing in our news today. Two brothers
killed in fighting for ISIS in Syria, have also lost their brother in the UK.
He was stabbed to death. How odd is that? What are the chances of that
happening three brothers, in two different countries on the same day? The
fourth brother is still fighting, so, I guess their parents will soon be childless.
On Tuesday there is to be a super snow moon. Which will be
so bright.
(Must watch out for that) haha.
This was a bit of a scare. 1 in 2 people in the UK, will get
some form of cancer in their lifetime. But there are signs to watch out for.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK the causes are
unknown but if you realise the signs, then the chances of treatment hopefully will
be able to help the person to live longer.
Signs of prostate cancer are as follows. 1 needing to pee
more often. Normally during the night. 2, you have difficulty in going to the
toilet even though you really really need to go. 3, a weak flow and once you do
go, you still feel like you need to do more. 4, blood in your urine or semen. My
poor Dad died with this dreadful disease! Its heart breaking and if you can
prolong the outcome by many years or even get rid of it all together, it’s a
visit to the Doctors as believe me, catch this in time and your life will be so
much better.
And now for some ironic facts I have read about of late. Did
you know in America, what is the most stolen book? as in shop lifted?
The Bible. Serious. And the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous
asked for whisky on his death bed.
Apparently, the nurse refused him. Gosh, why?
William eno, the founder of the stop sign, taxi rank signs, one-way
street, roundabout and crossing, couldn’t drive.
This has to be my favourite. The condition of not being able
to pronounce the letter R, has a name.
Rhoticism
And that was written yesterday, today is Monday. Good job I have
my blogs, it’s how I remember what day it is. Haha. I received a delivery today
in a long slim box. It’s about five feet tall. The box is square and my palm in
width. Five feet by the way is about 1.5 meters. It’s very light. Can you guess
what it is?
It’s used outside and our old one rotted in the winter
weather.
Remember what an exciting life I have and the amazing things
that get delivered to me. Haha. Well it should be used with two hands. You can
use it with one, but it’s more difficult. Guessed yet?
A yard brush.
I told you it was exciting.
Not!
And if we were clever, we could have kept the handle and got
rid of the brush. But we are not so we had to buy it from start again. But this
time I have avoided wood.
Is it just me or are there any other odd people out there? I
really don’t like using new brushes. I want to keep them so clean. How sad is
that?
When I woke up this morning, I felt fine. I did the normal
things housework, answered emails and thought about what to cook later. Then got
my guide dog Waggatail harnessed up and went to our post box to post a letter,
well, what else would I do at the post box, order a pizza? Seriously Fifi, what
next, anyway, Waggs was great, and the weather was perfect. Not windy so I could
hear perfectly, not wet so the roads didn’t sound like they were chasing me,
not icy, so I wasn’t in fear I was going to slip, no snow, so I could feel the
path and define roads grass verges etc, just right. I then came home and
groomed the wagging one and came in to do some writing. Then came over really
emotional. Seriously, started to properly cry. Tears ran down my face. Suddenly
my guard was let down and I really don’t know what on earth reacted it. I mean,
I got to the post okay, one time a couple of years ago, I had a hell of a time
just going to post a letter it ended up where I cut my eye and it poured with
blood. I got so dizzy and got totally lost coming home. But today was fine.
I just wished for a moment, that I could see. And I try to
block that wish from my mind because what is the point of living just thinking
about being able to see every second of the day? I did that for ten years, ten
long years. It kills you it eats you up. The older I’m getting the more scared I’m
becoming that my time will run out before there are any serious advances for my
eye disease. I fear I will never see and I just want to make life easier for my
Husband and myself. I would love to see for my Hub. To be able to do for him
what he can’t do. Just stupid things like we had vouchers for a shop we go to. It
was to save quite a lot of money. We knew they were the vouchers as our wonderful
app on our iPhone read that to us, but it doesn’t read every detail so the date
for example. And of course, we learned yesterday it’s ran out. And things like
workmen letting us down, well if we could see we could do those jobs. Instead,
we have to rely on others to do those jobs and they are never in a hurry. Or I prepare
things for their arrival and they don’t turn up. So, our house is in a right
mess and as a blind person, that can be very disorienting but for a blind
person like my Hub who has never had sight, it’s much worse, at least in my mind
I still just about see, so can image what things look like as in the lay out of
a room. But for Hub, he can’t do that.
I’m OK now, but my sadness grief, wasn’t a place I wanted to
stay in. I tried to research latest news for our eye disease, or any kind of
blindness, but nothing new today, but hey, there is always tomorrow, in the
meanwhile, we battle on and we do laugh. Ps
