MY YEARLY HEALTH EXAM...........



A couple of postings ago, I spoke about my annual visit to my Doctor for my annual.......examination.  Always fun to see her .......since she truly understands me. Along with the usual HEALTH talk, she does say I should have .......atleast one glass of wine a day (perhaps she didn't exactly use the word  at least)  she did say that two glasses would actually deepen the red color of my blood and take the slight blueness out of it (which I thought I noticed)   Anyway, she insists that I do some kind of exercise......so we started talking about the kinds that would take the least amount of time, effort and give me the maximum amount of energy to fulfill my day.  She came up with.......WALKING !!!!  how boring especially since my kids bought me a GPS to get around in my car.......so I counteracted with............DRIVING.  We came to a understanding that I could drive to the area where I would walk and that would satisfy both of us.   She asked if I had any experience with walking so I had to give her a few examples of my experience.  I told her about Grandpa:
 My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we don't know where he is.
COULD THIS ALSO HAPPEN TO ME?????

I also mentioned that                  
        " The only reason I would take up walking
Is so........ I could hear heavy breathing again
."

and that I would prefer to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing " 

We also talked about joining a health club.........I mentioned that I had joined one last year and spent $400 and noticed I did not lose one pound.  Apparently I had to go there.

Long story short..................I now walk and seem to enjoy it..............at least for now!!!!!  

Well, now that the floorshow is at the end, I will now settle down to the original format of this blog. I'm going back to the thoughts that run through this old brain and my living in the past, present and the future.  So far, nothing has shown up for the future but who knows what will happen..............maybe my crystal ball will come to life.  

Stay tuned for some NEW THINGS!!!!!
