A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
I think my mom used a product called VO5, something like that. Or maybe olive oil. I’m not sure.
Haven’t people used mayonnaise, eggs, beer in hair too? Beer was supposed to make hair shiny.
My hair is fine now too. I had thicker hair when I was younger. So many things affect our hair and skin. I only need a light moisturizer on my face. I do use lotion on my hands. They are always dry!
I remember seeing my mom giving herself hot oil treatments when I was young. She had beautiful hair!
yesterday, i watched the absolutely worst romcom EVER ("Love in the Villa"). it's totally, totally ridiculous. i had to stop after a few minutes (never happened to me before, that i stop watching a romcom).
i started reading the reviews, to see if other people on this planet agreed with me how ridiculous this movie is.
well, i had a lot of fun reading the bad reviews.
this was my favorite review:
"You can feel your brain cells dying as you watch it."

haha :). i think i'm going to use that line in other contexts.
for example, next time i bump into a silly, rude person...
"You can feel your brain cells dying as you spend time with this person."
❤️🙂
"Shrinking"
Movie line:
"I'm sorry". "I have to ask this". "Is this you forever?"
Massage and Reflexology are my favorite self care activities.
number 1 was great! and number 2 is really good, too.
:)
i'm just in the beginning of the movie, where she's trying to teach her elderly father how to use a computer!! haha, i think we've all experienced something similar.
i bet no one in the entire universe can guess what kind of movie i'm watching right now...
(rom com)
"about fate" (2022 movie), i'm half-way through. very sweet.
Yeeessss!!!!
When I was young we would go to the MGM movie theatre and watch all the war movies and Westerns kicked back on love seats with Shirley Temples being delivered by a cocktail waitress. Hooked me on those great scripts, directors and actors. So much so that my first career was in audio/video production.
I was super blessed to meet a man that was helping Micheal Blake's widow and I shared how much I loved Dances with Wolves, he gave me a signed, hardback copy of every book Mr. Blake had written. The movie is as good as the book, which is uncommon in my experience.
:)
one of my favorite things? rom coms. i can even watch the same one, over and over.
The physio guy said yesterday that he's seen people's muscles atrophy a great deal in as little as 2 weeks. Scary. My one calf looks minute compared to the good one. So I'll keep plugging away at the exercises. My hubs isn't getting any more patient about this and doesn't seem to understand that when he's in a hurry he's on his own. I told him today I can't rush anywhere right now.
Send, they are always discussing atmospheric rivers here in B.C. Didn't we used to all just say it's raining heavily? LOL
send - I know some people who take a cuppa coffee to get to sleep. I'm having a cuppa decaf right now in hopes that it will do something good for me. Normal - what's that?
***Darn! there is a small craft warning! ***
I won't be able to take my row boat out to rescue anyone in the flooded areas.
Guess I will just have to stay home, content to float my rubber duck in the bathtub.
(just joking).
It is only 10:30 p.m. now, but feels like the tired times of 2:00 a.m. in the past.
Except for a welcome break in the rain (yeah, it is now called an atmospheric river), not much is happening here.
I did read somewhere that persons with a diagnosis of ADHD or ADD (similar to Aspergers) who have sleep issues can get help by drinking a little coffee at night. I don't have those as a diagnosis, but coffee at night does put me to sleep occasionally. The opposite of 'normal' people.
It would be bad to try some coffee at night, and find yourself awake instead. Especially when you are already sleep deprived.
Hello and a goodnight to all you late night good people of 2023!

Well, I went to my Orthopedic follow-up appt. yesterday. I wasn't pleased. I really don't care for this doctor. She barks and doesn't listen. It's a long story how the appt. went but I'm too tired to explain. I am starting to put some weight on my foot but it is still ailing me. I went to my first physio assessment yesterday. A physio place I selected cause it's close. I was impressed with the guy. He was very thorough and nice. I just completed the exercise homework. Man.........I'm tired. By the time I finished all the exercises and repetitions an hour had gone by. I feel like I just ran a marathon and all I did was some stretches. I guess I'm in bad shape. The bad foot side of my body has so much muscle atrophy. It's gonna take some time.
Thx for asking Golden. How are things with yourself.
I remember when we all would be staying up much later and posting.
Now it is just waking up at all hours of the night and I do better shutting off
the computer early. A self-discipline so I can get more done earlier in the day.
I am happy to still be able to make changes that will improve my life.
I do miss the late night posters.
Hugs to you too Gershun! 🧸️🧸️🧸️
Wonder who is staying up late at night now....
You are appreciated, my late night friend.
