Look at the cute bottle of limited edition coke they are selling now! It's 400mls (1.7 cups). I couldn't resist picking one up for my son.
I asked a friend if she wanted to meet for a walk yesterday morning as the weather was supposed to be mild. It rained a bit in the morning though. Anyway, she told me she would love to but unfortunately she had put her back out and had to see her chiropractor. The joys of middle-age. We had just been out walking last week. In fact the very next day after that walk, I was easing my coat off my left shoulder at the gym and felt a terrible pain in my arm! A few days after that, I was at the doctor getting my flu shot and asked him about it. He said it was likely a stretched tendon and if I was lucky I would be fine in a week. Otherwise, it may take 2 or 3 weeks to heal. It feels a bit better, but it's not healed yet!
As well as getting my flu shot, I had also taken my mother in for a memory test as she has been forgetful lately. She got a moderate score and we will be seeing a specialist kind of psychiatrist for seniors whenever we get an appointment. Apparently there are Alzheimer drugs available which can delay the onset of the disease from say 5 to 10 years. Well, we'll see what they say. My mom had no idea what the date was, or what the month was for that matter. Her math skills seemed to be fine though, she can add and subtract, no problem. She's only 73.
A friend of ours notified us that her father passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 86. He had been ailing for several years but she is very upset as she was close to him.
His orbituary indicates he led a full life.
Another friend told me her son is growing a moustache for Movember. So we made a small donation on his behalf. It's a charity for Men's Health issues. Have you heard of Movember?
