Knocked Down, But Not Knocked Out Yet

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 19 Feb 23

I had a stroke on April 26,2022. At first my right side wouldn’t move, but now I can almost walk. I have aphasia, that means I talk nonsense. I am a bit better with writing, though not much. Thank God I can still read. That's all...

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 15 Jan 22

We had a COVID Christmas. I'm not sure where we picked it up, but we were both sick by mid-December. On Thursday December 9 I had a dentist appointment that was very stressful. I went for a walk afterwards. The next day I shipped...

Checking in with Medical News

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 23 Sep 21

I've almost recovered from the oral surgery I had Monday related to an implant. I'm still dealing with an eye problem that makes it hard to read type in small boxes like this. It makes proofreading hard because off and all day...

Taking a Leave of Absence

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 5 Sep 21

I'm totally over-extended with writing on Medium, bookselling, decluttering, and trying to stay healthy by not getting too tired. I finally broke down and got the jab last week, and I've been even more tired since then. I'm...

Here's the Answer to the Question in my Last Post

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 21 Jun 21

The picture in my last post is shown here in context. It appears this dental hygienist is recycling a bit of old dental technology to decorate the front of her office. She must have some help because the office building, formerly...

Just Checking In

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 20 Jun 21

Hubby's broken neck is almost completely well. He believes he was healed in March, but I make him wear his brace and follow the doctor's orders anyway, since he never felt any pain and would need an Xray to be sure. I keep busy...

I'm Not Afraid

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 5 Apr 21

I live in San Luis Obispo County in California. My neighborhood is a typical housing tract. Once in a while people take walks along the sidewalk or in the park. Most people don't wear masks when they are outside walking. They do...

Hubby is Stable Now

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 3 Apr 21

The doctor told Hubby early this week that he can be free of the brace now unless he is in a car or walking on uneven ground. He still has to see the doctor again in three months, but he's doing really well. It usually takes two...

My Husband Broke his Neck

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 18 Mar 21

That's one reason I haven't been here for a while. I was suddenly thrust into the role of full-time caregiver. He is healing well and I'm finally able to leave the house for a short time to shop, etc. Our friends and church have...

Does Anyone Still Wear Girdles?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 1 Dec 20

When I opened myLot to respond to comments tonight, a Blair ad popped up that featured a panty girdle. I haven't seen one of those for a long time. When I was in Junior High School my mom bought me a girdle and told me young...

What Do You Think of These Inflatable Yard Decorations?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 30 Nov 20

I think some of inflatable yard decorations look OK at night, but during the day it's a different story. I am often tempted to come by and throw them in the trash. By day they look like heaps of scrap plastic as they clutter so...

California Is on Fire

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 25 Aug 20

I know I'm not the only one here that's been affected by the fires. I took this photo a couple of days ago -- in the evening of the day our city of Paso Robles had the worst air quality of any city in the world. The smoke came...

We Finally Found New Tenants for our Vacant Rental House

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 26 May 20

Finding new tenants for a rental house two counties away during a pandemic lockdown when you are close to 80 years old is not an easy thing to accomplish. We've been fortunate enough to have a handyman we trust close to the house...

This Pandemic is Making Me Cook Again

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 22 Mar 20

Normally I would spend a good part of my day writing or networking. But I spent yesterday cooking and catching up on important laundry. I made a crockpot of vegetable soup to freeze in individual portions in case one of us gets...

How Much Has This Coronavirus Pandemic Changed Your Life?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 20 Mar 20

I thought since this coronavirus is spread all over the world, I'd better check in and see how everyone is. So far we are still healthy. So far the coronavirus hasn't changed too much about my life. I do most work at home anyway...

Totally Buried in Work

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 6 Oct 19

I guess that's better than being buried period, LOL. Marketing my book inventory takes about all the energy I've got. I barely have time to write anything anywhere anymore. I even took a month off from contributing to the...

I've been operating in overwhelm mode for a couple of weeks. I've gone back to bookselling online. I need my house back. It won't just clear itself. I have thousands of dollars worth of children's books and teacher resources and...
