The rain was coming down pretty hard. It was a nasty sideways rain and it stung my face. My rain rain poncho kept most of my body dry but it failed only reached to my knees. My calves and shoes were dark with rain. It was a turquoise poncho ugly as sin, but it worked well. I walked carefully along the sidewalk and tried to stay out of the deep puddles. There is nothing worse than wet feet. I couldn’t hear my shoes making that disgusting squishing noise because of the wind and rain but I knew they were. My dirty wet shoes disgusted me. Why did I have to walk out into this sideways rain? I knew it was coming I thought I was prepare for this. My poncho was just not good enough. My plastic, turquoise, too big for me poncho was just not good enough.
Love Isn’t Blind
My sister is what many would call a sucker for love. Every relationship she is involved in ends up being serious she falls in love only after a few weeks. The relationship that took the cake was when she got engaged. She met this guy online and they were dating before they even met in person, she was in love after only a few short phone conversations. After maybe 3 weeks they decided to make it official. You can imagine my surprise when she announced her engagement and they had not even seen each other face to face yet, I nearly hit the fan. I asked her if she thought it would be a good idea to go forth with the relationship, especially after all the bad experiences she has had in the past with internet dating. Of course this relationship was short lived like all the others.
My Husband and I got Back Pains
When my husband and I got back pains, we quickly worked out that our bed was not working for us anymore. It had been given to us when we got married, but it was time to get rid of it. We could finally afford to buy a new bed, so we decided to do so. This time, we wanted to choose from one of the store’s double beds. We wanted to get a foam bed because we heard that was good for adjusting to the unique characters of our body. When we brough the foam bed home from the store, we immediately feel in love with the bed. We have been sleeping on the bed for two months now, and it comes high recommended from us. We no longer get back pains anymore.
Uncontrolled Leakage
Incontinence is classified as “uncontrolled leakage” from the bladder or bowel. Incontinence affects all age groups from children to adults, not just older people. There are two main types of incontinence, stress incontinence, and urge incontinence.
Stress incontinence occurs mainly in women due to the relaxation of the pelvic area from either childbirth or the aging process. Stress incontinence usually occurs when a woman sneezes or coughs. Stress incontinence is quite rare in men, and usually only occurs from some type of trauma or surgery. People with this condition should avoid such things as artificial sweeteners, nicotine, and coffee.
Urge incontinence is very common in children and the elderly. When the urge to go to the bathroom happens, a person needs to get to a restroom immediately to avoid leaking urine onto their clothing. Some older people wear male incontinence pads just in case an accident was to happen.
I Never Thought it Would Happen to Me
One thing that I never expected when I got old was incontinence, but here I sit browsing the web looking for incontinence pads. There is actually more pads than I ever expected there to be and it seems that I will be spending a little bit of time trying to choose the ones that will work for me! Thankful that these are there as well as so many different choices.
It was something that happened overnight, so it seems, and though the doctor assured me that things will be okay and perhaps even improve with time, I still cannot believe that this is something that I am having trouble with. Keep in mind I am only 59 years old! I am happy that there are so many choices for pads and other products available for me, however, and will continue to search the web and find just what I need in my pads.
Keeping the Cat Off the Windows
continually climbed into the window and got tangled in the blind cord in his attempt to play with it as it began swinging from his jump. Now he is quite disappointed. While in the home remodel store, I stumbled across the most gorgeous plantation blinds Manchester in a deep mahogany color I couldn’t resist. The blinds slide open and shut with a handle inside and allow in so much more light than my old aluminum ones did while being easier to clean. This is great for me as a working mom with zero time to clean blinds. However, Whiskers is less than amused. Now not only does he not have his favorite toy cord to bat at. A small price to pay for ease in cleaning!
Final Warning
My fella got another warning at work the other day. He’s just so funny; he really is the office joker. The problem is, is that not everyone finds him funny. I mean, most people do, but you’re always going to get the odd person who finds his humour inappropriate.
This week’s prank was to make use of the adult nappies that had been donated to the service but which had been sitting under his desk for the past 8 months. And so, in a moment of boredom, he pulled out a nappy, pulled it over his jeans, and started strutting his stuff around the office, to everyone else’s amusement.
Unfortunately the one manager who was in the building happened to walk in just at the same time and that was that… he was hauled to the office – still wearing the nappy – and given his final warning.
