Those 70ish Girls

Can you believe it? We still haven’t gone on an RV trip even though our RV is now fixed. Our plan was to leave on January 25th, but as they say. Life happens while we’re busy making plans.

As it turns out, I have a couple of new doctor’s appointments coming up in February. It was the earliest I could get in. One is with a kidney specialist as a recent sonogram showed a suspicious looking lesion on my kidney. Please don’t worry. It’s still so small that they can’t even do a biopsy yet. I also have high liver enzymes which means another doctor’s appointment on January 30th.

Retirement means switching work hours to doctor’s appointments. Even in retirement our days are not necessarily filled with fun things, but they are somehow filled. I often wonder how I ever found the time for a job.

Being 70ish has its challenges. It’s a full-time job just to stay healthy. I used to exercise faithfully, and my doctor tells me it’s the single most important thing to do to keep my bones healthy and my blood pressure under control. It helps with a multitude of things. Kip and I are going to invest in a good treadmill, so I will definitely use it to get back into shape. I used to have a treadmill, and I enjoyed it. That was many houses ago, and I ran on it then.

So here are the plans. We are going to leave on a short RV trip around the 2nd week in Februrary. We’ll spend a couple of nights at Livingston State Park on our way to Galveston where we’ll spend a couple of weeks. Surely we can make that happen. We’ll definitely keep you posted. I love writing travel blogs. Please stay tuned!
