Let Me Introduce Myself!
My name is Sherry. I'm a wine drinking, coffee snob, chocolate connesuirre, bike riding, yoga loving, liver of life that has been gone from blog land far too long!
Life happened! Nothing earth shaking, just busy living it. Ive had some health issues, I've gotten older (more on that in a bit), some transitions in friendships (left some, gained some) and just trying to find a happier balance in my days.
This whole getting older thing is not for the faint of heart. As much as I'd like to believe I'm 25 (ok. 45 is more realistic!), my aching knees, age spots and menopausal belly remind me daily that I'm two months away from 60 and far far closer to retirement age that my 45 yr old living brain wants to admit. When the hell did I get old! Shit!
Oh sure....I'm still riding 20 mile distances on my bike...I just do it now with assistance from Tylenol Arthritis and Biofreeze! I still teach yoga, but I leave the pretzel moves to my younger crowd.
And lets talk about sleep! I can't get enough of it!! WTH!
Life....not for the faint of heart...but if you have a faint heart...they got pills for ya! 😉

Happy to see your return, my friend. Long time no see here in blog land. I have to grin though, reading about you age ranting and all. Sleep? What's that all about? Just a myth as far as I'm concerned :-)
Anyway, don't fret about soon going on to the "Big-Six-OH". (I wish I was 60 again). As I like to say to you: Don't sweat the small stuff (even if some of one's bod parts gets smaller over the years)...
Take care and pulleeze - don't pull another long disappearing act from blog land. I'll even lend you some pills if you need them (although I think a bottle of red wine would work better). :-)
Summer is in full swing here ..finally! The month of may was coooollld...but boy, making up for it now! And I'm living it large...when I'm not sleeping! Hehehehe 😉
I no sooner see a comment from someone claiming to be my good blog buddy "Sherry" - and then I proceed to send a reply - when next I see another comment from someone who goes by the name "Anonymous". What's a poor Tundra guy supposed to think?
Can this truly be the one and only blogger friend that I've for years "chatted" with here in blogland - off and on (although more "off" than "on") since the lady tends to go "poof" and disappear from here for months at a time!
It's great to see you here again buddy!!!
We here are all doing well and hopefully you and yours are doing well too these days. Happily Covid is under control here and we've all got our vaccine/booster shots to allow us all to stop having to wear masks - although that all might change this winter if the latest Covid variant (BA-5) gets out of control. Hopefully not.
I read in your initial post that you had experienced some health issues. Hopefully that's all over with and that you've recovered nicely. As for me, well time marches on and the bod does start feeling a tad achy at times when I overdo things (but no - not from drinking a glass of red wine the odd time). But in general all is good - no worries.
As far as travel plans go, we've got a few trips lined up within the next several weeks around Ontario to visit relatives. How about yourself - any fun and frolic adventure planned this summer?
Weather-wise, up here we can't complain. Some hot days (80-90F) but also some comfortably cool rainy days. Everything outside is growing well, with nothing like the torrid hot weather that I read about in places like Spain, Portugal and several parts of the US.
Are you still working at the same job that I remember you mentioning about back in the day? Not retired yet, right?
Anyway, hope we can chat here some more as you find the time to join me here "Ms. Anonymous".
Take care of yourself, my friend. Later gator. :-)
