I’m always excited to get my notification that someone has blocked me. I must be doing something right. 😆

It really is. I would say this weekend was peak colour.

I have a family member who died from complications from Covid.

A couple of photos from our trip to Ingonish yesterday. Was a beautiful day. And my youngest got her feet in the ocean after missing a Maritime summer.

Thinking of your Dad and sending good thoughts his way. Very hard not to be there.

I wish I had the money to donate. I really hope they get up and running. It sounds like it would be a big improvement.

Luckily my daughter the nurse is visiting so she checked me out. But I am definitely sore.

Very. The adrenaline was going for quite a while afterwards.

My parents had the same situation. I don’t want to scare you, but my mom did fall, years ago. Lost her spleen. She was very lucky at that time.

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 23h

Oh my goodness I am happy you didn’t too. That feeling of losing control is terrifying.

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 23h

Thank you. Me too!

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 23h

I wear a sleep mask. That’s how much I hate light. But it’s not worth the risk anymore.

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 23h

Thank you. It’s the realization of how much worse it could have been. 😕

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 1d

I really scared myself. I was awake for hours afterwards. The light will be staying on from now on.

Happy Anniversary!! 25 is a milestone!!

My daughter just gave me this lecture. It’s probably time.

Could have been much worse. I thought my previous falls made me more cautious but apparently not enough!

It’s a good lesson to be extra careful.

There is a reason why we all need one level living when we are older! So dangerous.

I have had a bad fall out of the shower and one down the stairs. I broke my foot one step down 5 years ago.
We may meet our end the same way. 😑

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 1d

Me too! My right foot is pretty sore, I won’t be driving today. Could have been a lot worse.

Beach Lover @beachlover.bsky.social · 1d

Woke up to go to the bathroom late last night and managed to slip down part of the stairs. Lots of bruises and sore but nothing broken thankfully.

Gave me a good scare. Made me feel old. That might have been the worst part.

Summer savoury is the key ingredient for ours. The way my mom made it.
