Hello pooh_ac…..and everyone
Johanna Banana checking in. I am enjoying the cool ocean breeze brought in by a late summer storm. I am thrilled to be at the end of the summer heat and great prospects of a no land fall hurricane season.

April & June were absorbed with home renovation work….I became stronger every day. By July I have closed out the sun and closed up the house to hibernate thru summer heat…I swam most every afternoon for a golden tan …stronger...down on my meds….all good. In Mid-August while boarding for a cruise I lifted a suitcase onto a conveyor belt and schlepped it and 3 handbags to my room….getting lost twice. In my own defense I did have friends set up to do this for me and they abandoned me in favor of the bar.

Anyway….I violated BLAST and WOW was I one sorry mess. Pain like…well you all know the monster….I was down for two days straight and when I did get up ready… set…make up on… let’s go look at this ship…..I could not get that darn door open!!!!…back to bed….tears; cursing; meds; threats to God, etc etc…the next morning I woke up and just knew I was on the mend….put my bathing suit on and went for a swim at 8 am…walked that ship and did all the basics…sleep/rest….before the cruise was over I found the lounge and had the greatest joy of dancing as if no one was looking for 2 hours. Doctor took a look ….SCS is fine….I aggravated my original nerve injury…so I am back up on the meds…back to basic BLAST…swim.....all will be well…

Last week I made a batch of habanero pepper jelly from peppers in my garden. I have two new baby birds (Cockatiels) this summer that have teamed up to be my jet pilots thru the house.

I am enjoying a wonderful sweet spot in my life….ever so grateful
Hannabannana.
