After 3 reschedules of a move, the contents of my two bedroom condo finally got moved to a one bedroom barrier free unit. No occupancy permit has been issued, so at age 72, I am couch surfing 🙂, but hopefully next week I can officially move in and sleep in my own bed. And really hoping the elevator will be turned on!

Last fall I started having issues with walking and put it down to arthritis. Finally went to see my doctor in May when I could no longer manage the pain. Diagnosis is severe osteoporosis AND a fractured hip. The pain is now understandable, manageable and very unwelcome.

Replacement hip surgery is July 3, so the push is on to have the new unit set up so I can return home after surgery.

There is a special place in heaven and my heart for all of those who have stepped in to help me. Kindness and generosity are still available in people!

I also give thanks every day for universal health care!

A Change in the Winds?

This past week, I took a Thursday-Sunday road trip and I brought a total of three watches with me; the baby Alpinist, the Blood Moon (my night watch) and my Falcon.

It was the week for the Alpinist to be on wrist, but when I travel, I like to have at least one option depending on the situation and wardrobe I pack. I packed a couple of shirts (both black with red & white features) that either the Blood Moon or the Falcon wouldn’t clash with, but it turns out that I never took the Alpinist off for the whole trip, even for bed.

I never even wore the two shirts I planned on wearing that would have clashed with the Alpinist. I actually wore a t-shirt I don’t usually wear in public and a road trip themed shirt made specifically for this trip in order to keep the Alpinist on wrist all week.

Does this mean I don’t like my Falcon any more? I don’t think so (I will be participating in @Aurelian’s #1wc with the Falcon), but it does open the door to the question, right? Maybe I just figured I was going to get a lot of wrist time for the Falcon soon, I typically always wear the Blood Moon to sleep and just didn’t want to shirk on wrist time for the Alpinist and it’s as simple as that?

Whatever it means regarding the Falcon, I know what it means for the Alpinist; it’s not leaving the collection. After I won it as a door prize at a meetup, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it because I wasn’t even looking to add a new watch to the collection. In fact, I’m trying to downsize it to 10 watches & this complicates that. The heart wants what the heart wants though, I suppose.

Do you have a watch that entered your collection unexpectedly and earned its way into a permanent spot?

Obwohl viele Länder erhebliche #Ölreserven und eigene #Kerosin-#Produktion haben, schürt die #IAEA hier (aus welchem Grund ?) massiv die #Ängste vor #Treibstoffmangel in der Welt, obwohl die #StrassevonHormus angeblich nur ein Fünftel des #Energiebedarf/s #weltweit deckt. Da ist das Glas also sicher mehr als #halbvoll. Ausserdem: Wie wär's mit #Downsizing ? Permanentes #Wachstum killt den #Planeten. Das funktionierte während der #Pandemie ja auch.
