Welcome, Suzi. Your intro posting was so nice. I hope you can go to the Y you use to belong to and find a warm water pool to swim in. I can sure understand the back problems. Been there many times. I use to go to a chiropractor but he has retired. The doctor I use to go to was a DO who did my back but she insisted on messing with my hips and I always ended up with siatica so stopped letting her do anything. Please be careful and don't reinjure yourself. Right now your back is very vulnerable.
We got another !/4" of rain last night. It usually starts about 3 in the morning. Lots of lightening with these night rains.
I have found I can make a sugar free jello with KoolAide. Just use 2 cups of water instead of 2 quarts, sweeten to taste. Pour about 1/2 cup flavored water into a bowl and add 1 1/2 pkg. of Knox gelatin. Heat until gelatin is dissolved. Add to the rest of the flavored water and stir well. Cool until set. Enjoy. There are so many more flavors of KoolAid than there are of jello so this gives us lots of new flavors.
The new sleeping med is working almost too well. I don't wake up as fresh and alert as I did with Ambien but I am sleeping longer at night. Ambien use to give me 6-6 1/2 hours of sleep. Restoril is giving me about 9 hours of sleep plus a couple hours of waking up slowly.
I need to go to town for cat/dog feed. I also need to get a wedding gift for our oldest son and his new wife. The reception is tomorrow. They have lived together for 3 years or so and have nearly every thing they have any need of or room for in their new house. I'm thinking of one of those spin 'n store units. We love ours.
GOD bless and keep each of you. See you on Monday.
