Upstate South Carolina

Oh, no! The clouds are rolling back in here in Upstate South Carolina with rain to follow the next few days. I know we need all we can get but goodness, depression is setting in from being indoors for over a week. A trip to the tanning bed can help some with my mood at least.

Today is the final day to pass or not, any bills that are in the House and Senate. There are several we are keeping our eyes on and will let everyone know just as soon as we find out. Maybe this session was not exactly a waste of time like some others in the past.

Have a great day everyone!

This is the first day of the new exercise regimen of walking twice a day for 30 minutes. Today I had a doctors appointment for severe headaches (migraines) that have been fierce for about 3 weeks now. The usual test’s were done with a shocking discovery, yes it is high blood pressure. Now I am one who does not eat salt but loves pepper so when did this happen? It could be just that this is a hereditary condition because just about every adult on my mothers side have the same including Thyroid problems (which I was also checked for).

Pills are not something I like to take if I can help it so I have 30 days to try alternative methods such as diet and exercise. The thought of also losing the extra 30 pounds I have put on is also a plus. Food however does not seem to taste the same without all the butter, grease and fat. Plain rise with boiled chicken and sauteed veggies was my supper tonight and without all the good stuff, there was really no taste at all, just BLAH.

Oh well, I will have to get used to it and so will my family because if I can’t eat it, it will not be in this house. Have a great afternoon today everyone.

With all the rain that we have had since this past Wednesday, the sunshine was a welcomed sight for us all here in South Carolina. The wind was up a bit but that did not matter when you are looking out the window at the gorgeous rays coming through.

It looks like Spring is really here to stay even with the temperatures dropping some at night. Camping will not be far off in the very near future. Lord knows I could use some time on a small vacation.

Cleaning out the building this weekend was impossible so my daugter thought that she would change her room around once again. It has only been 2 months since we did this last. She does get it honest though.

For those who have not heard yet, it looks like some Social Security and SSI benificiaries are going to be getting a one time stimulus payments of $250 sometime in May. To find out more, visit the Social Security website.

Here is Upstate South Carolina, the rain just keeps coming down. It has been raining here since Wednesday and it looks like we may get a break Sunday. The races that we go to here locally have all been called off due to the flooding of the tracks. Even if it quite raining now, the tracks would be too wet to do anything. Maybe swimming is more in the cards with all this rain.

Since moving to Powdersville from North Carolina, we have yet to find a mechanic we like. Where we came from, Stotts Garage was who we took out auto’s to when anything went wrong and they could be trusted to tell us the truth and very fair in pricing. Here in Powdersville, I have not found a mechanic that I fully trust yet. If you happen to know of one, please feel free to let me know. 

Finding someone to work on my cars is as hard as finding a doctor that I like and trust. It takes time and patience which are two things I do not have right now. I have found a doctor for myself but am still looking for a good one for my car’s.
