It's nearly Christmas..

Hi friends.. I thought i'd try and be a little better at keeping in touch with you all. Only trouble is, i don't really have anything much to post about, and since the whole world has more or less been under house arrest, i've hardly been out through the door. While that hasn't really bothered me that much (i'm quite content with my own company) i

So nice to get an update Belle! I definitely tend to want to eat more while I'm at home and Thanksgiving desserts didn't help matters. But, I have still been exercising (my gym runs Zoom classes) and taking walks since the weather hasn't gotten too cold yet, so things haven't been too bad here. Yet. We'll see how it goes when it gets colder.

*hugs*

Hi there cele.. Good for you keeping up with your exercise routine. That's what i should have done when all this started. I could at least have gone for a walk. We had a glorious Spring and Summer, so i had no excuse really, except for the fact that walking hasn't been that easy for a while.. and laziness of course :/ Much more inviting to sit in the sun and read ;D .. so i have no-one to blame but myself. *hugs back*

I bought Christmas stamps, including global stamps, in October, but I don't know if I'll be able to send cards this year. The problem with my eye makes writing quite difficult. I notice it when I write checks to pay bills. I will do an LJ update about that soon.

I have been gradually gaining weight for several years since any amount of walking leaves me panting and I don't move much. I know it would be good for me to lose weight and would benefit my breathing, the arthritis in my knees and other problems as well. *sigh*

Such a shame that your eyesight is affecting your beautiful handwriting. Please don't worry about a card for me. I've kept all of your past cards and can display one of them instead. My family and i do that all the time. It's cost of postage that stops me from sending out cards. Hopefully i'll be able to get one to you soon.

It's not easy to keep the weight off when you have mobility problems. It's definitely a catch22 situation. Sometimes i wish there was a pill you could take that gave you all the nutrients you need without gaining any weight.. but where's the joy in that ;)

Very true. I can't even walk anywhere without using a walker.

So do I. I'm sure someone will invent one someday, but not in our lifetime.

.. but where's the joy in that ;)

There isn't any...not as long as food tastes so good!

I addressed some Christmas cards yesterday and seeing what I was doing was kind of hard. I mailed yours today. I hope it doesn't get returned to me like last year's card did.
