I did not write a post yesterday as I could not get access on the Internet to create one, my modem was old, and needed to be replaced, which it was, this morning. Evidently, one's modem needs to be replaced every year or so, so if you find your access on the Internet is sluggish, maybe you should think about having your modem replaced, yes, learn from my misfortune.
Since I had some extra time from not writing a post yesterday, I did extra house-cleaning, which is the thing I hate doing most in this world, house-cleaning that is. However, even I can find a positive in doing housework. Occasionally, while your cleaning, you will come across, or find, an object that you've misplaced, or was missing for a long time, and sometimes its money, tell your children this fact, and you may have just given them an incentive to cleaning their room!!!!!
If any of you out there are on a special diet, or your trying to eat carefully, trust me, coffee and celery sucks as a meal!!!!
Do you wash a pot that you've just boiled water in?, please advise as I may be washing a pot that I really don't need to wash!
Yesterday was a good day, Zac, Judy and I went to see the musical "The Secret Garden" at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, it was an excellent production and quite a bit different from the version Zac and I saw in New York City a few years ago. I want to give special cudos to Sophie Bould, who played the part of Mary Lennox, Miss Bould was exceptional, had a lovely singing voice, and deserved the standing ovation she got at the curtain call. If you can get them, do purchase a pair of tickets and run to see this outstanding musical, and should you need someone to go with you, I'm available.
Okay, true confession time, yet again, yes I have a habit of dangling modifyers, and it is something I'm especially sensitive about, watch your step, especially if you email me any helpful suggestions.
Earlier this morning, I was looking at some pictures of Zac's cottage on the lake, and simultaneously while looking out at the abundance of snow covering everything, makes it hard for me to believe that going to the cottage is only two (2) months away. yippee!
Okay, ladies, this blurb is especially for you, in the "In the News" add-on this morning, it is reported that hot flashes may be a sign of heart health weakness. A new study suggests that women who experience intense menopausal symptons, like hot flashes at the start of menopause, may not be suffering in vain. It found that, compared to women who reported no menopausal symptons, women who experienced hot flashes, and night sweats arond the time of menopa.use, had an eleven (11) percent lower risk of having a heart-related health problem, and an eight (8) percent lower risk of dying during the study's nearly ten (10) year follow up. Meanwhile, women who developed hot flashes after menopause actually had an increased risk of heart-related health problems. Gee, its not like women have a say in when they get their hot flashes, and isn't hot flashes enough punishment without the heart-related health problems!
Today was the birthday of one 1) of my all-time favourite writers, Mr. John Steinbeck. Mr. Steinbeck was an American writer perhaps best remembered for his strong, Pulitzer-prize winning socialogical novel "The Grapes of Wrath," which is widely considered one (1) of the great American novels of the twentieth (20th) century. John Steinbeck's later noves include "Cannery Row," "The Pearl," and "East of Eden." John Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962. One of John Steinbeck's last works was "Travels with Charley," a travelogue about a road trip across America. Charley, for those of you who are dog lovers, and for those of you who aren't, Charley was a pet poodle which was a Blue Standard!
Well, this post is already late so I'm publishing it now, have a safe, warm day.
