Well, hey howdy y'all! How the heck are ya? I'm just relaxing after a semi-busy week. Had my PAP smear yesterday, which went fine. The doctor was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Then today I had a follow-up visit with my radiation oncologist at the City of Hope. Everything's lookin' good, she … Continue reading Gettin’ things done and makin’ plans!
Coronavirus
Good news and good day!
Hey everyone! Well, right after I posted last week about Mr. 50by60 testing positive, guess what happened to yours truly? Yup, we both had it! So we both had to stay home, avoiding human contact, including each other, as much as is possible in a house with one bathroom (although we DO have a back … Continue reading Good news and good day!
Don’t worry, blog’s not broken, even though I keep taking breaks!
Yeah, I had to take a break last week, due to a sad situation in the 50by60 family -- my younger brother, Michael, passed away from COVID-19. It was unexpected, and I took a trip back home to visit my parents and sister for a few days. Three Boomer siblings in the '60s If you're … Continue reading Don’t worry, blog’s not broken, even though I keep taking breaks!

So as long as you're seeing that "Same!" message over on the right-hand side of your screen, you know I'm doin' it … Continue reading Maskholes at the gym!
The weight is up, but the vax is in (and the arm is sore)!

As expected, my weight went up a tad: 203.8 But given all the kielbasa and pirogis and Easter eggs, that's to be expected No, no, I didn't forget!! And you know what?

Time to do the Weekly Weight Loss Dance! Up a pound, down a pound, everybody circle round, and gaze with wondrous awe on this week's weigh-in: 199.6 Yeah, I'm happy to be back under 200 again, but I also know I need to get a WHOLE lot more back under 200 before I can breathe … Continue reading Up a pound, down a pound, everybody circle round!
Spambots need love, too! (an unofficial non-weigh-in pre-Christmas post!)
Hey everyone! As you know, I'm still on my Official Holiday Blogging/Dieting Break, so no official weigh-in or post till next week. However, just wanted to take a few minutes to say THANKS to all of you for your moral (if not financial) support over the past year. It's been a tough one, hasn't it? … Continue reading Spambots need love, too! (an unofficial non-weigh-in pre-Christmas post!)
So what are you doing for Hallowe’en this year?
Well, the weight isn't changing much -- up a little, down a little, up a little -- basically holding steady at: 197.8 No complaints from me, though, as long as it stays under the dreaded 200! Which brings me to a not entirely unrelated question -- what are YOU doing for/about Hallowe'en? Every year before … Continue reading So what are you doing for Hallowe’en this year?
What’s up, WordPress? Back for another banger!

Fair warning, though, start one, and you'll look up and wonder where that hour and a half … Continue reading What’s up, WordPress? Back for another banger!
Just a flesh wound!
Yeah, it's a teensy little gain: 198.0 But it could have been worse! Last week, in case you didn't notice, I took the week off and did one of my legendary "road trips" to beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, where it only got up to about 122 degrees Fahrenheit at, um, 9:00 AM. So not too bad, … Continue reading Just a flesh wound!
