Sunday Scribblings, "Listen up! This is important."

G'Day,
The Sunday Scribblings prompt for this week is "Listen up! This is important"
I had a look at the prompt last night and thought about it and this morning it came to me.
Dad must have been around watching me somewhere because I thought of one of his sayings.
"Remember all the P's."
Dad had quite a few different little sayings he would use as prompts for us girls, but this one could be applied to many many different situations no matter what was going on. Good advice too. Isn't it funny that the things our parents teach us stay with us through out our lives so strongly?
All The P's.

Prior

Preparation

and

Prevents

Piss

Poor

Performance.

I always liked that one.
I also have one saying of my own that I think of very often when going about my every day stuff.
Remember the "Kiss" principle.
Stands for "Keep It Simple Stupid"
I truly believe in this one.

This week has been very normal, and I am lovin' it.
Mum has gone up to my sister's place for a while. It is my niece Tato's 19th birthday so she has gone for a visit. My house is so normal! I even get to go to the shop without her, and it does not take me 1 1/2 hours to do it and about the same time waiting for her to get ready to go there. Wonderful! Pete got a phone call earlier this week, while I was at work, to say she has had a fall and cut her hand which had to be stitched, I am so glad she didn't break anything as she has osteoporosis. Seems like almost every time she goes up there something happens to her. She is o.k. though, I just hope it does not get infection in it.
I did a bit of research on the net during the week about the effects of too much acid in the body as I was having some problems, so now I have imposed an alkaline balance diet to try to set things straight. It seems to be working and I feel much better, physically and mentally. I have even lost some weight so it is easier to get my work done. Amazingly it only took 3 days for the effects to show on me. Pete is trying it out too, though he is usually pretty physically fit due to having to be that way for his job. We tested him too and he was about the same level of acidity as me but that has balanced out quite nicely. The info says that we should aim for a diet that is 70 percent alkaline or alkaline producing foods and 30 percent acid type foods. Also our urine should have a PH reading of between 6.5 and 7.5. I don't usually go in for experimenting with diets and am wary of fads because I think they do more harm than good, but as I was having the acid trouble I thought that I would give it a try.
Other than that, my life at the moment consists of the work, home, sleep, cycle to earn money to pay the bills. The electricity, phone, water, rent, food and a hopefully a little bit of entertainment treadmill, that keeps us all going round in circles, biting our own bums. He he.
This weekend in Canberra is a long weekend to celebrate Canberra day, which is on Monday. Canberra is 96 years old this year. Happy Birthday Canberra! Love Ya! There is a concert and celebrations on in the park on Monday that I would like to go to, freebies of course. I still have to clean the Queanbeyan schools on monday though, because it is over the border in N.S.W. so not having the holiday we get in this state. I will be able to play around with the starting time as we don't have to do the Canberra schools. The skin on my hands is dry and peeling and disgusting at the moment as a result of chemicals and also I suspect, a result of wearing rubber and plastic gloves to work in. I will have to action that.
That is about all this post.
Good morning peoples.
Love Linda.
