I spent two days in meetings recently, The first day I had to read several pages aloud to a small group.  IOf course, I made my letters VERY big and had threee pages for just two small paragraphs.  I still needed my magnifers.  Two to be exact. One to hold and glasses.

The next day I attend a seminar, where I only had to follow along and Read more »

I am usually only the computer in the early part of the day.

by 1 pm the eyes have tired, I sit only  inches from the xreen and Yes its a big screen to see it.  and the letters are BIG. So by that 1pm time my eys are watering and I am tired..  I try to do all I need to do early in the day.

But all these websites, and blogs are taking some time.

Hardly seems like anything to complain about.  So it is not really a complaint.  I have a butcher block cutting board, that was cut to my short height.It is brown.  I have used this for 10 years now and I love it.

Lately tho, when I attempt to put peanut butter on triscuts, I have found that I either miss the triscut completly, putting the Peanut butter on the cutting board itself, or cant find them after I make them.   brown on brown on brown.  Kindda funny.

I also have a problem with my two water tumblers, both are purple, of course,, if I put them on the cutting board, I cant see them.  I have learned to remember to put them on the white countertop.

Yes, I’m off on a ride around town, cant wait to get my odeometer/speedometer, going further each time.  BUT have to be aware of time and sun.   the sun has to be above me so I dont have to worry about my eyes and the sun.  Bad combination.  Having fun.  Since i did drive trucks (BIG trucks).  I know that I have to watch out for driveways, streets, cars, etc.  I am VERY careful.

But Im out and doing YES  hoping for an hour a day every day……

When they took my keys (to the car)  i thought it ws over…….

Then my husband got a Motorcycle, and we would go to the showrooms and have to walk around all thosescooters and cycles…..uh…… I was near tears all the time.  i have had a car since I was 16 years old and  took away my keys.  i even drove simi’s for a few years, and they took away my keys.

My world shrank. …to whatever I could walk to…or bus to… or be “taken” to. although my friends have been terrific.  Its just not the same.

Now I got a little bit of freedom.   an ELECTRIC Bicycle.  Its peddle assist, so I have to peddle, but it gives me that Little bit of freedom to go when and almost where I want.  Today was the first time i went “OFF” my small foute and did about 10 miles.  WOW.

I have to pay alot of attention to driveways, streets, cars, the road, but this bike doesnt go fast, just steady.  Its great.
