The only way I could manage a career and children was to write everything down that needed to be done each week. I kept a running list at work and at home. Now that I'm retired, I still like to keep a calendar for appointments and a list of things that need doing. I will always be a bit scatter brained but at least on paper, I'm organized.Melinda from Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019426158896831594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-70515458562516296022022-05-28T00:47:02.873-07:002022-05-28T00:47:02.873-07:00It is a good thing to find you have actually gaine...It is a good thing to find you have actually gained a day and not lost one but I think we all suffer from the same problem.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-14096637477982206132022-05-27T23:30:22.854-07:002022-05-27T23:30:22.854-07:00I keep a diary, both for appointments etc. and to ...I keep a diary, both for appointments etc. and to take notes of where I have walked and so on, and that helps me keeping on track with what date and day of the week it is. But I often think it is a different day of the week when a bank holiday comes in between.

I think many of us that are retired get our days mixed up easily. I know I do all the time. I think what matters is that if we have any appointments we remember them. I even set reminders on my phone when I do have an appointment so then my phone will remind me.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-10296454206713576072022-05-27T21:03:00.473-07:002022-05-27T21:03:00.473-07:00It was only this year that I noticed the red flowe...It was only this year that I noticed the red flowering May trees.

It is always very rewarding when the garden thrives and provides much pleasure. If you feel stiff and are having difficulty with movement, try to cut out sugar and salt. Eat more protein. Vegetables are always excellent too. A review with a nutritionist might be beneficial.

The yolks were beautiful rich and golden, unlike the pale offerings from supermarket eggs. I was only thinking the other day how rare it is to hear a rooster crow in the start of a new day, quite a usual occurrence growing up in the late 50's. Times change and housing developments are full of compacted houses with no land, and no chooks or roosters!

There are book on exercising while seated, so she did that, too.<br /><br />As I mentioned, we can see Chelsea on You Tube, but the editing is awful. Someone got it into their heads that they could show repeats of many presenters talking but put loud, unpleasant "music" over their repeat words to take up time, I suppose. Bad decision!<br /><br />It's good to hear your garden is full of eye candy in the flowers and their colors. Enjoy!<br /><br />Hugs!Barbara Annenoreply@blogger.com
