Memories of Ireland

The wind is blowing hard today which reminds me of when I lived in Ireland.  Of course, the gales I experienced there were much stronger!  Living at the end of a peninsula with the sea on 3 sides made it certain that the wind blew 24/7.  I always seemed to gain energy during the ever-present gales, but these days I often feel depressed when the wind is so strong.  Knowing that everything one experiences depends on the state of mind, I decided that today I will gain energy from this wind blowing - forget being depressed over it! 

Having the heat available in the mornings makes it seem warmer all day long.  I have it set pretty low but heard it recycle on several times during the night, so I know it was cold.  I really want to get back to walking at the gym every day, and think I will try to start on Wednesday after I get my 2nd B-12 shot.  I am so hopeful that it will make me feel even better.  I'm feeling fairly good now but the motivation to do something is still lacking.  That may be a case of just plain laziness!

I plan to take it easy today.  I have a morning medical appointment tomorrow, and I want to go to bed a little earlier this evening and be rested up for it.

  1. I bet living with the sea on three sides of you would be great.

  2. I know that when you used to go to the gym daily you were always so peppy and motivated.

    We got our electric bill today and it was high, but mother needs it to be warm as she is cold natured. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow.

    1. I am going to try to get back to the gym starting tomorrow. My electric bill is going to be high, and now I will have a higher gas bill as well.

      My appointment went as well as possibile under the circumstances. Not knowing who in my family reads my blog, I hesitate to write anything about it, or "god forbid" mention the word "cancer" in case one of my sibs should see it. I am going to have a bone marrow test in early January which will tell them if I have lymphoma (that's the way I understand it anyway). I don't think I do, and there is a limit to how I will treat it even so. I would never take chemotherapy or anything like that. As I feel pretty good, nothing hurts, I doubt if my condition has gotten to the critical point yet, which is why I finally agreed to get the bone marrow test, which is going to hurt even though they supposedly numb you to an extent. I really like the doctor, and I'm going to try to be as positive as I can be; I think I'll be fine. Getting old is an absolute P.I.T.A.!

  3. Your place in Ireland sounds just wonderful with water on three sides. I'll bet the wind was invigorating. Must have been difficult to leave.

    1. Invigorating isn't always the word for it. Sometimes it was very difficult to walk upright!
