So Far So Good With Not Eating

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 3h

Although I think one myLotter hit the nail on the head as to why the potato soup was making me feel yucky (it has milk in it and I am lactose intolerant) other foods were also making me feel bad after lunch every day. So my...

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 5h

I'm dressed for the role I'm playing today with mentoring the other three girls on how to cruise. I'm wearing a map shirt, a map hoodie and these map shoes in the photo. I have a whole "map wardrobe" as you know. I crack myself...

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 7h

Hubby's mother was kvetching the other night on the phone about having to pay a medical bill for her knee replacement surgery. "I guess I'll just quit eating" she said "because I don't have the money." But every week she spends...

Hubby Calls it The Medical "Vortex"

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 23 Apr

Hubby says that you should never go see a doctor because they're always going to find something wrong with you, and they're always going to refer you for more testing or to another specialist, thereby putting you into what he...

My Doctor Wants Me To Get a Pneumonia Shot

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 23 Apr

I thought I was too young (59) and it wasn't recommended yet but she said because of my heart disease I should get one. But wait, it gets more complicated than that. Apparently my recent blood worked showed I'm borderline...

Cricket Has Allergies Too

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 22 Apr

Our cat, Cricket, is also suffering from allergies. He keeps pulling his hair out. We've switched his food and given him some children's liquid Benadryl. It's an elimination try-and-see method we're using to try to calm his...

I Don't Get Any Joy From Being Around People

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 20 Apr

Now a person here and there, yes. But people in general, no. Some people like being part of the "crowd" at a concert or part of the "excitement" at an event. Not me thanks. I'd rather be home sleeping. I like quiet time....

Birdwatching and Stargazing

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 20 Apr

There was a poll on Bing this morning about whether you would prefer birdwatching or stargazing. 65% said stargazing while only 35% said birdwatching. While I've never thought of myself as a birdwatcher, I do enjoy seeing their...

I Didn't Know What a Natatorium Was, Do You?

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 17 Apr

I was reading an online local news article about a nearly high school getting a new 10-lane natatorium and I had no clue what they were talking about. Then upon reading the article further I realized they were talking about an...

Apparently I'm Allergic To Everything

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 16 Apr

Whew! That was quite a battery of tests I just went through at the allergist's office. First they poked me about 64 times on my back, each an individual poke, to scratch the surface with allergens. That test didn't detect any...

Kotor, Montenegro is a City of Stray Cats

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 8 Apr

Seriously, that's their thing. Their mascot is a stray cat. Everything they sell in the shops is stray-cat related. The cats sleep on the cash registers and roam around everywhere. The are community cats, so the shop owners...

Border Crossings in the Balkans Were Quite Interesting

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 7 Apr

Having never experienced a border crossing, I found them both interesting and at times intimidating. Each country required a double crossing and showing of passports. One to leave the country you were in and one to enter the...

A Bridge in Bosnia

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 6 Apr

This is the famous "Old Bridge" in Mostar, Bosnia, and I took this photo while visiting there a week and a half ago on a chilly rainy day. The bridge is the most famous thing in Mostar. People, especially Australians, love...

I Do Like Dubrovnik, Croatia

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 6 Apr

This was my second time visiting Dubrovnik, Croatia. It's a wonderful old walled city on the Adriatric coastline. It costs $35 Euro to walk inside and on top of the city walls, which takes an hour, which I didn't do because of...

Macedonia Has Made My Top 5 List of Favorite Countries

LouAvul @LouAvul (49) 6 Apr

Technically it's North Macedonia. It was beautiful. We visited the small resort town of Ohrid, which looked a lot like Lake Tahoe in Nevada and had gorgeous snow-covered mountains at the top while the weather was warm and sunny...
