Is It Going To Be September Already?

Maybe what they say is true, that is as one gets older, time goes faster.  Well if that’s the truth I’ve been old since  I was nine, since time has always seemed to slip by at a dizzying speed.  But this year particularly seems to have gone by faster than normal, and in my last entry I was complaining about the hot weather.  Well, thankfully we now are getting cooler, in fact, instead of temperatures in the sticky humid high seventies at night, it’s now actually chilly and dipping into about the 50s!  Soon I’ll be thinking of preparing for Halloween, then Thanksgiving and oh, my Christmas.

Now for some up-dates about things: I’ve had some disappointments as far as hunting about that acupuncture idea to help my health problems since I’m so anti-medication.  Since I receive Medicaid/HIP health coverage, I found out that acupuncture isn’t covered…I guess it’s thought to be too of an “exotic” approach and not mainstay medical, in other words the mind-set is to pump one up with medications that could have detrimental effects rather than a more natural approach with no side effects.   So anyway, I ordered a book about acupressure instead, as it works on the same principles as acupuncture but one can do the healing to oneself provided you know the pressure points to use, and without needles.  My problem is that the only time I have to read is shortly before going to bed…the problem?  I either fall asleep and wake up a few hours later with my face crushed up to the book, or if my one cat Pyewacket hops on my bed, deems that reading is boring and sits on top of my book.  Do I disturb him and chase him off?  Of course not…and only a pet lover will understand that.  One does not DARE disturb their furbaby.

Growl! I Hate This Weather!

Since June New York has been getting the weirdest weather.  Almost everyday in June it rained, wasn’t much better in July and the first day of August was a deluge also…then when we do get a sunny day, of course it’s a humid day that New York is “famous” for…I’ve never been a fan of summer to begin with…my get up and go and gone up and went, I get brain-fog, often feel completely drained, and it doesn’t help that I’ve never had air-conditioning—wouldn’t be able to foot the electric bill anyway, so I just have a fan, which as I sit here in front of my computer is positioned right next to me.

But yikes…it’s AUGUST!  Where the heck did this year go to anyway?  Before you know it, we’ll all be thinking of Halloween, then Thanksgiving and Christmas–just what happened to this year, it’s going way too fast.  I’m still having problems with my strained wrist and might explore the idea of going to an acupuncturist as I’m none too happy with my doctor.  First I might look into acupressure though as it’s less invasive (the idea of all those needles used for acupuncture doesn’t thrill me) and from what I understand is just as effective.  I need something to help my arthritic joint pain in general but none too willing to use heavy duty medications.

Oh well…just giving a short up-date…and I hate, hate, hate this weather…did I mention I hate this weather?Tongue out
