Today's Free Fun...Walking!

It was time to get out and get some exercise today and there was no excuse for not doing so as the weather was perfect today, so off I went for a 10k volksmarch (volksmarching is an international walking club and I am a member of the Las Vegas chapter.  You can do group walks with the club or walk on your own along pre-set routes which I did today).  Best of all it was free (kind of--I buy a bunch of discounted walk coupons at the beginning of the year so I can earn "credits" through the national organization).

  1. Oh My gosh! I have spent practically half the day skimming through your blog! I love it! I am way older than you, also Autistic. I know that you mentioned that in one of your posts in your early years, but I had already suspected it. Those of us who are Autistic and still get by tend to "live by the list." I keep lists everywhere, and tuck extra in different hiding places in case I lose my original list. I also am retired [well, I am old] and my husband is as well. Unlike you, I married a younger man. unfortunately, he was recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers, but so far he is doing okay. We too love to travel, especially to cruise.
    I didn't read it yet [my intention is to read all of your posts] but I noticed that you recently wrote about the book "The Secret." Ironically, that is how we cruise.We keep gettting free cruises! Bobby[life partner] lost all of his money a few years back. He owned his own business, and when I was diagnosed with breast cancer [in remission] he took over the bookkeeping part of the business [chemo does a number on your ability to think] Looking back, that is about when he started having problems with thinking clearly. While undergoing treatment g=for cancer, some terrible things happened, and I had a total breakdown [ my life was almost one long 5 year melt-down] During this time, his employees, who include his sons, embezzled all of the money. He is still in deep with the IRS, but I was able to keep a bit [ my father, long passed, told me to always keep money apart from his because he knew that Bobbys' family would wind up with it all] and I am living in my little piece of paradise. I have chickens, live in the mountains, and am fixing the fence and shed for 2 Nigerian Dwarf goats.
    Okay, sorry I just rambled on, telling you all sorts of personal stuff. I felt comfortable doing so, for one, because after reading so many years of your posts, I feel as though I know you. Also, because I am Autistic, and, well,as you already know, that is something we do. I need to go now, but I hope you respond.

    1. Do you have a blog? If so can you link to it here? Your life sounds so fascinating! I am glad you are in remission and hope your hubby is doing OK as well.
