Best Of

@mara51506 Laying on the floor alone for three hours is not a little thing. You are right to get something to help you sooner. I pray daily for you living alone and going through all this without help. My DH put a squeeze horn by the toilet as that is where I usually pass out. But I usually have someone around; either my DH or my DD asleep downstairs (she works nights.) This way I don't need shout. I don't have a life alert yet as I am not quite there, but it is a good idea. You are doing a good job advocating for yourself and handling all you do.

@shanagirl I am looking into the cheapest life alert there is. Still recovering from really bad cold and voice just starting to come back after foolishly screaming for help for an hour. I need to get more serious about exercise, just exhausted all of the time. Thankfully was physically unhurt.

I signed up for lifeline here in Canada, 43 bucks a month, cancelled all streaming channels not in use. Can use my vpn to stream shows or watch them the next day for free. Only kept youtube and free stuff. Made the mistake of telling SIL and she went off saying I should have gone through my disability. Told her I prefer to start right away. I am using the card that handles the rent, internet and mobile so I am unconcerned about paying extra but I will look into the disability thing when feeling better. Just wanted to start a service to feel safe at home sooner as opposed to later.. Have to stop being cranky when people want me to look into something else. It is immature on my part and stop calling if a minor fall happens, I will have service to help me with that. When I feel better I will look into it.

I get grumpy but realize that I bring it on myself when I tell them about a fall, if I can take care of it myself, I should do so, realize I do not need to run things by people all the, am 54 years old. Unless in hospital, no need to report every bruise, just causes me and them hassle. Budget is easily figured out by stopping the mcdonalds or other stuff, I get credit monthly as rewards for paying the rent, internet and mobile phone, can get 40 to 45 dollars monthly. That easily pays the lifeline charge. Oh well, that is life, I accidentally shredded my disability statement, will need to wait until end of month to get looking into whether the lifeline can be covered by disability.

On a good note, planning some air fryer pizza, add some lentils pre crisped to the top and extra cheese, later going to heat up a hamburger in a mini grill then take it to a frypan and add cheese and taco seasoning and lentils or something else, I will see.

Laundry and sweeping and a tidying of house is in order. Need to get more boxes in order too, ready for taking out on Thursday.

I do hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for all people.

@mara51506 Yikes Gir!! Ihate when I’ve fallen. Scary and it hurts (ouch) Do you have that thingy to wear around your neck? Mine sits on my DH’s desk and I do wear it when he goes out, but he won’t leave me for long and I wear it while he’s gone. If mine would go off he would know, they would call him.

@goldensrbest I love your snow doggy picture. Thanks for sharing. My little pug boys will not go out in the rain r snow. Maybe because the ar so low to the ground and small. The years our kids were growing up we had Great Danes, labs both black & yellow and English Bull dogs over the years. The all loved the snow, but never the pugs🖤🤎💛🩶🤍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾……love each one of them so much,, and so saddened by each loss. the 2 that I have now never leave my side. I can’t imagine my life without them.

@intolight God bless firefighters! have a wonderful time. and by the way I always watch all the fire dept tv shows.🚒. I love them.

@goldensrbest Watching dogs in the snow just reminds me of being a younger person and loving the snow. Miss tobogganing . Mariah looks happy in the snow for sure. I will give some thought to the type of service I am looking for and their place in my budget. I have time as I am unable to talk yet.

I really enjoyed the chicken thighs and lentils. The chicken thighs were honey and garlic and just sprayed the air fryer lightly, dumped the lentils in then chicken, took around 20 mins. Nothing burned either but it was quite delicious. I love the crispy lentils.

I am looking at watches, I may also look at a second phone on a less expensive plan as an emergency phone, will look for best option for. It would live in my pants pocket. I do have life alert calling but I still have no voice so will be pointless. I do not have a ton of disposable cash to put down on something. Still thinking less expensive smart watch that uses bluetooth to make and receive calls as I am never without phone when I go out and in house, would be able to call 911 as needed. I will see what fits, no need to commit to anything anyway yet.

Got the smart watch, it can make calls through bluetooth and I do have my phone with me or nearby at all times. This should give me more protection. Also need to keep eyes on things that may trip me up in house too. Need to watch feet. It is a budget smart watch but only need it rarely. Not going to sign up for anything else currently.
