start of May ideas and random thought

Happy May folks
Im sitting here in jeans and a sight polo hoodie. Its in the 50s when by this time we are in the mid 60s. so music rain and dampness
I put more CDs on hold last night and a playlist is rolling in my head. its going to be funky. VERY FUNKY! Look out! A title has not come to mind yet but one will.
I just saw an interview with bootsy collins and who had nice things to say about Prince and yes there will be a few Prince songs in my next mix and of my gosh I think I have a title. I wonder of I have a purple sharpie? The Purple mix?
 So Today I went to the Doctor and he told me I gained 10 pounds since my last visit. "Oh s--t" I thought 10 frigging pounds. OK only one visit to the staff snack box a week.One cup of tea after dinner NOT 3 and more water,less soda!
 When weather permits make a power walk at the community park right after work especially on Monday- Wednesday when you get out earlier the the kids and start our with 3 laps.
 OK I know some of you hate health talk and some of you are OK with it.
   Before work On the beach starts I need to get my eyes checked and a new pair of glasses.
   I would also like to find the local skate park to do a little video taking there! I plan to do a video called the adventures of Slinky on a day wheres its very nice but filming locations are secret for now!
  I have a little dry spell in my DJ gigs for May but I'm not complaining because April was very good for me. I think Chip need a rest too! I did tell him I owe him a few beers.
 OK that's all for now. This is going on longer than I wanted. lol!
Peace,Love and music
Trish

community service

Today I spent 2 hours at St Pauls Church in Bay Head.I didn't move mountain but thats ok.The day Started out wiping down chairs with a Clorox wipes.then I unrapped some new Testament books from the plastic wraps they were in.after they were all unwrapped I put then back in the box they came in and put the box on the back pew.Finally after folks were done eating I cleaned off the tables. It felt good doing some community service.I felt not only was a helping the community but also doing a little work for God. later in the afternoon Nancy took me to the Doctor. my BP was good but he said I needed to lose weight.

April

Its been a while since I did a written blog.I've been posting Pictures and videos but its been some time since I just sat down and wrote! Judging from the amount of folks who have viewed my blog Not too many of you miss me. Perhaps my pictures and videos are boring and you prefer the written word? OK well Once again I will be DJing at earthday this year at the Riverview park along with the Sherman Brothers and another band I don't know who.I also will be joining forces with the Sherman Brothers again at the 2012 clam bake at the BHFC,I also hope to spin at the Beach house and the longboard grill this summer!I hope for more but I'll be thankful for the gigs I do get. Next week is Spring Break.I plan to charge up the ipod and get in some power walks.I finally got to the eye doctor and do need new glasses.Bifocals.Dayam Im getting old but I course reading small print is not getting easier. I gotta keep telling myself but to do what I do and hope folks are blessed by it.OK enough about age and health. Im making friends on my youtube channel and send out some mixes to a few folks. I have a few more friends on facebook too including my bosses Son! oh man. I really gotta watch what I say! Alrighty well thats all for now! Have a blessed Easter everyone! Peace love and music Trish

DJ update and other chatter

On January 24 I will be spinning tunes at the lobster Shanty for a Parents cocktail party.should be interesting.many folks like the look at my CDs and music review on youtube. made this years Valentines mix and I have another mix coming up.I'm having a mental block coming up with a title. I went to the ear Doctor yesterday to have my ears cleans out.I felt a little seasick to my stomach on the way home because.When he cleans out my ears I feel dizzy. next up is an eye exam.Ill do that next month.ugh..Doctors visits..they never end especially when you get older. I think we should have one day when everything gets checked out.Ears,dentist,general check up etc.we could just worry about one day a year and get it all done that day.Oh but thats too simple No Pictures or vids to post today.Its just me and chatter. Its not that cold today except a bitter cold wind.brr.A good day for a nap! I hope I will be able to get to Cafe de Point this Sunday to see and video tape cool live music.Untill them I'll take a break from Youtube and focus on my mix making and practice on the 88s!

This weekend was a bummer weather wise.Rainy and cloudy No Opportunities for outside picture taking or videos.I hope the weather will be nice this week.Im not much into sports but happy the Giants won! Oh yes i do have good news!The BP is down so0 I don't have to go back to my regular dr for 3 months but I do have to get bloddwork done,the ears checked out,an eye exam and a mammogram.Ooph does it ever end?

Yeah I know,its a tad early to do an end of the year write up but Im inspired.
OK health wise it was not the best but not worse.Turning 50 means high blood pressure.Remembering to take Meds.I hate taking pills.
Work - Im grateful to have a winter job and a summer job.My coworkers are cool and the bosses are too.
Friends - 2 thumbs up!Seriously man!I often think about the ones that dissed me and then I think about the ones who are there for me,stand by me and appreciate me.I truly am blessed and thank God for all he has given me.
Family - we are sometimes are crazy wacky bunch but I love them all.

Ouch that needle hurt!

OK well today the saga of blood pressure check ups continue and today it was high so The dr wants me to go on meds to regulate it.
I also got a flu shot and although I didnt feel it at first an hour later my arm did hurt.Am I going to be one of these 50 plus people who sit around talking about doctors and health issues all the time.I don't plan on being that way.
I started a new playlist called Eclectic Planet.My first big batch of christmas mixes went out the other day and another will go out tomorrow.

BP and mixes in the mail I see

Monday night i got a call from nancy at work the my Appointment for Dr Boyan was the next day.
Yesterday I rescheduled my piano lesson for Thursday.
Yesterday I received a mix from my friend Kate or KC as she was refeered to me back in the bookbin days.
When I got home I took a shower and listened to her mix.
I only got halfway through it before heading over to the Drs with Nancy.
My weight is about the same and the BP is down.it was the claritan D was was the reason My BP was high.
he wants to see me again in a month.
with that good news I wanted to go out and get a bottle of wine but Opted for a nap instead.
I got another mix today from my longest running mix pal Al.
I gave a copy of "Hey Kids" to our kindergarden teacher and one to Nancy.
Frank Love the "Super Bad Jams mix"
Im finally in full BHS mode as far as membering all the things I have to do.
life is good.

good news and observations

Well I went to the Dr for a follow up to my follow up!
I lost 3 pounds but my BP is still high.At first my dr said I needed to go on blod press meds and get blood work and see him again in a month.
As I was walking out of the examining room a light came on ..in my brain.Would the blood pressure meds and claritain D be OK together.
Upon this revolation the dr said to go off the claritan D and just use regular claritan.Claritan D contain antihistamines(Spelling?)which higher you blood pressure.
Later Nancy called his office wondering if I could just use the regular claritan and hold off on the BP meds and see if that works.Yes!
Power walks will continue and so will avoiding large amounts of chips and pretzels.
In other news after Piano lessions I went to Monalyssa's for a slice and pizza and they were closed.there were orange notices all over the windows stating they had failed to pay they're taxes and were shut down.Damn.I like that place.Hopefully the owner straightens things out and reopens!
Still in the mood for pizza I went to Fredaricos in the beach being I was going in that direction anyway.
Sometimes they have sician pizza and I get a slice if they do but I noticed there wasn't any so I just got a plain slice.
I went to see Eric at Atomic CDs and stopped in at a few other spots but didnt hang out much.Eloise of Thoughtful Treasures fame took the day off and the grind coffee house was closed so home I went but on the way home I realized I still had to go to the bank and cash my check.I put some in my account though.
I noticed at few cars at the firehouse including the cheifs car.I poked my head in the say hello.Chip and another firefighter were putting some equiptent back in a truck that just came back from service.
Chip and I had a diet coke in the kitchen and chatted.
Now Im going to have a glass of wine and something for dinner while I rock out to my ipod.

back to power walking

The other day I went back to the Doctor to have my blood pressure checked again.Its still the same.He said to cut back on the salt and excercise more and yes if it doesnt inprove next month I'll need to go on meds to lower it.
Yesterday after work I showered,had dinner and went for a walk.
Same thing tonight except I charged up my ipod.I forget how much music motivates me to walk faster.even the melodic world music keeps me going.
Towards the end of my walk came a upbeat Santana song that made me want to keep going but the sun was setting and In not really a fan of walking at night.Especially in the summer when traffic is unpredictable.
Yesterday I really felt how out of shape I was when the back of my legs were hurting as if to say "Damn girl you are out of shape"
Today it wasnt so bad..well maybe it was but perhaps the music helped me keep on going.
Perhaps a walking mix is in order soon.I still have a discman that works!

Oof my allergies

Tuesaday Was a rough day.
I felt like my head has going to explode and my throad was scratchy too.I rescheled my piano lesson and slept from 3pm till 10pm,then I woke up gotchanged,brushed my teeth and went to bed.Wednes I pretty much did the same except I took Motrin.Yesterday afternoon I finally go allergy meds and took them and later Took 2 Motrin and today I felt better.
YesterdayI finished my mix called "Let it Rock"you can look it up on www.zenrunningorder.com..or is it .org? try both.Ill spin a few tunes from it at the school fair.

loose pants..could it be Im losing weight?

Today I put on my Tan dress pants that I remember last spring as being on the tight side but this spring they seem loose!Could it be Im losing a few pounds?
I used to just have crackers and a cup of coffee and Jil(the School Secretary)told me I should eat better.
We now have a lunch service called Cafe Terias and ive been having luch every day.
It seems like if I eatch lunch at school I dont come home and pig out.Perhaps Jill was right!Dont think your going to see me sporting a bikini though.ha!
