It's been a few since I have written, but not that I haven't got things going on.  The first thing is my blood work came back and everything is normal!  This is the first time everything the doctor wants to monitor for my overall health has been in the normal range.  Even my hormone levels, which have trended in the wrong direction over the past year, have improved and are exactly where I need them to be.  I'm feeling good about my health, even as I age and start getting into that 'Senior Citizen' threshold.  I also had a Covid-19 antibody test and Covid-19 exposure test done yesterday.  Both of these tests were done to confirm whether or not I have the virus, which is not likely, or if I have had the virus and currently have antibodies.  My doctor and I both suspect I may have had Covid-19 based on her treatment of my ailments in January, so she ordered the tests for reference purposes.

I'm looking at ordering a corset for waist training purposes to help my reduce my waist size.  All of the exercise I do only goes so far and the corset waist training is designed to help my body reshape like I want it to.  I was sized and suggested a couple of different corsets based on my body, but I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.  Right now, there seems to be more money going out than coming in, so I have to be very diligent on my spending.

I'm not dating and don't have any prospects at this point.  There is one guy in the Quitman, GA area who has shown interest, but I just don't get that warm and fuzzy feeling around him.  I was always taught to trust your instincts and while he is a nice guy, I don't feel comfortable enough around him to open up to him.  There is one I have an interest in and he works for the same company as I do, but at the Corporate level rather than the dealership level as I do.  He knows my history, yet is still very understanding and sweet.  He has shown nothing but compassion and has reached out to me, not because of business dealings, but just because.  He lives in the Macon, GA area, about 2.5 hrs. north of me, but not an insurmountable distance.  He indicated that he plans to be down this way in a couple of weeks and I think it would be nice to see him...Just sayin'.

My garden is doing very well as I have having to give away cucumbers and zucchini right now, so many have grown.  One of my potato plants got blown over and partially exposed the tubers growing.  They are still smaller than a store bought, but looking great.  I'm not optimistic about my corn...looks wimpy, but it's not ready to pick anyway.  The tomatoes are doing well, but none have ripened yet.

My youngest daughter is looking in earnest for a home of her own.  With her fiancee, they hope to move out before the end of the year, establish themselves, and then plan the wedding.  She has made the suggestion that she would like me to be her 'Maid of Honor', which would be interesting because of our family relationship.  I told her I would bang the idea around in my head, but I haven't come to grips with the whole thing yet.  I walked with my other two daughters, but this position is different.  Her mother still needs to be honored and I wouldn't want to take that from her at all.  Still, it is a dream come true for me if it happens.  I have thought about it long ago and it does appeal to me.
