Has No Life - Lives on TB
Friend came today and reassembled pool filter. And then assembled new stairs enough that I can figured out weights.
Someone else came and did replacement MR drywall in the bathroom.
About an hour into all of this, I bent over the wrong way. The muscle/nerve that I ticked off when moving a bag of pool sand came back to life in a not good way. Thigh went numb and back started screaming. Within a half hour movement became difficult.
I ended up asking another friend to please come "survey" mark the ground for the garden beds. I won't be able to start today, and probably not tomorrow, but at least I can start.
Waking from a nap because the pain has been draining. And glad I have an easy dinner tonight.

Beautiful day today also. I've spent my day dieting. LOL. its seems that way anyway. Due to me only have a limited number of shorts (knee length) that I can get into I have got to lose some weight. I keep trying to get back on the golo diet (I'd never take their Pills) but just having a hard time on it. so I'm going back to counting calories, which has always worked for me.
I've spent a couple of hours looking up foods that are high and low in lectins. Basically, no grains and no dairy. That I have no issue with because I don't eat much in the way of that anyway. Beans have to be soaked and pressure cooked, so I have to dig out my pressure cooker, not that I eat beans on a daily basis. Reducing lectins in the food you eat helps have a healthy gut and cuts down on diseases.
If I ate the standard American diet I'd weigh another 100 pounds and be unhealthy. I know I'm old but I still want to maintain a good health.

Yesterday I looked closely at my receipt from Aldi on Wednesday. I discovered that I was charged for 4 loaves of bread although I only bought 3 loaves. On the other hand, I bought two dozen eggs and zero eggs on my receipt. Eggs were $2.09 per dozen and bread $1.85 a loaf so I came out ahead. It was a new clerk who was obviously careless.
Aldi has also had 12-can cartons of Pepsi for $6.99. Everywhere else the price is $8.99. My addiction!! One can per day is the limit I'm allowed.
I used to drink gallons of ice tea during the summer and cups of tea in the winter. Then I had kidney stones and the second attack they captured the stones and analyzed them - - NO MORE TEA FOR ME. There is actually a very long list of foods to avoid. Beer, wine and milk are acceptable. I loathe beer, wine and am allergic to milk. Murphy's Law.
Today I washed up my basket of dirty rags that had accumulated over winter and hung them outside. Just as I finished putting them on the line the wind came up and blasted them dry in short order. I do not put loads of rags in the dryer as they are too linty and stringy, so I consider them a fire hazard.
After bragging about my 1979 dryer, it isn't working properly. It still starts and dries okay but isn't shutting off. I just need to remember to set a timer so I can manually turn it off. I almost never go off or go to bed leaving the dryer going so it should be okay to continue to use it with caution.
