Updates

…of more than one kind.

I use Window Live Writer to post to my blog. I updated my Windows Live stuff (messenger, writer and email) and boy do these programs look different now! I’m sure they will be easier to use – once I figure out where the heck everything is again!

It’s a wonderful 36° here in Hampton. The high is suppose to be around 55° and sunny so it will be another sweet day here on the coast. A little windy for my skinny self, but that is okay. I just stand sideways so it doesn’t blow me away!

In the two and half weeks that I have been here I haven’t had a headache or been sick. G wants me to have a flu shot. I haven’t ever had one and don’t plan on starting now. I’m so backwards that it will probably make me sick. No sinus problems, no bronchitis, coughing or sore throat (not entirely true – had to back off the cayenne pepper, it was killing my throat).

Grocery shopping here is adventure. Strangely enough I am having trouble finding corn tortillas. Bread choices are wonderful! All these delis and bakeries in grocery stores are a gazillion times better than in Hell, MS. There are olive bars. I kid you not, freakin’ olive bars. This means I can buy just how much of whatever type olive I want and fresh. I’m in olive heaven!

Food prices are also surprisingly low here. I’m sure that one is just a misconception on my part that since the money is better up here that the expenses would be high as well.

I also sleep so well. I wake up feeling good and ready to start the day. Okay, so maybe I don’t sleep in one spot all night because this is what my bed looks like every morning. Makes it harder to make up in the morning, but so worth it to sleep that well.

My back and hips don’t hurt anymore, my neck doesn’t hurt and I feel fantastic when I get up. Even the cold doesn’t affect my old joints and muscles – it actually seems to be helping ease up some old pains of mine.

Since we don’t smoke in the apartment, I have cut back on my smoking by 3/4. Yes, I am down to 1/4 a pack a day. Go me! I am also down to a half pot of coffee a day. Again, go me!

Not having a phone is a new experience for me. I do have a phone, but don’t give out the number. I can’t text on it since it’s a flip phone. I’m use to my Blackberry and thumb typing on a full keyboard. Now I have to remember how many times to hit a key to make a certain letter or number! Internet service is iffy here, too. Really keeps my computer addictions in check. Surprisingly enough, these ‘problems’ are a relief to me. Very freeing and now I can focus on what I really want to be doing without all the distractions.

It is also nice to use my brain for a change instead of relying on my phone or computer to help keep me organized.

Have a great day my peoples! Comment if you like, don’t if you don’t want to but please don’t email me with your comments. Just remember that life is good if you let it be!
