whats with my birthday

Had doctor appointment today. Needed a B12 shot and prescription. As I went in with the nurse I was asked my age. I come there every month and its on my chart so whats the deal with that. Then as I went in to have my bloods taken at the same doctors office, the girl asked me my birthday. I lied even though I saw it on the paper she was looking at. It was in big letters, but she just had to ask to be rude. She said she'd have to ask the nurse since it was wrong. I got a call when I left from the doctor so it must have been about my birthday. Why don't they ask my name each time too. I've been with the same doctor for 12 years and I don't want to be asked my birthday or my age one more time. . Or maybe I'll tell them the name of my blog...aging backwards. Better yet, I'll just take a year off for each birthday that comes around, and tell them my new birthday year. Hope they don't think I'm going mad.

Making horchata with fruit

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lolas-Horchata/Detail.aspx

This is so good. I'm making these each day instead of drinking soda. I didn't know how satisfied I'd be with anything but soda.
I do the recipe a little different then the one I put up here.

1 cup of rice in bowl or plastic dish to cover
2 cups of hot water
a few shakes of cinnamon powder. I've heard its even better with cinnamon sticks
I put a lid on this and let it sit for hours or even overnight

I think put it in a blender and blend it for about a minute
Strain it through a tight strainer or cheese cloth into a pitcher.
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and sugar to taste
I cut up part of a cantaloupe and put it in. The horchata takes in the flavor. Can do this with other fruit. I'll edit this later with other fruits to use.
Pour into a glass of ice.

2ed day of ageing backwards

Its the second day of skipping the soda. I am amazed that I haven't noticed. Fist of all I have little money at this time. Also since hep-c treatment and post treatment I have felt what I put in my body. I'm beginning to want the best for my body. Although I still have a hamburger now and then, I'm basically eating at home, and eating simple meals.I've been making homemade horchata for my main drink. . Oh its so good. I'm liking it better then soda.

Its also the second day of exercise. I'm gong to keep track of this on my blogs. Yesterday I played tennis with my son. Its the fist time in about 28 years. It was fun even in 107 degree weather. I didn't last long in that heat. After tennis I can home and swam. Also swam today. Just a little but enough to call it exercise.

I'm contemplating selling my home and moving. My house is too big and expensive to care for. I need to downsize if I don't get a room mate.I'll be sad leaving my neighbors and my friends in Church. Although I'm sure I"ll make new friends at the ward (Church) where I'd move.

I have a few other things going on at the moment. One is job hunting. I'm working on a good resume and working on a "me in thirty seconds". The "me in thirty seconds" is hard for me. I'd rather be spontaneous. I've been looking on line at jobs I'd like and jobs I'm more qualified for. The jobs I want at long shots but possible with the right skills put on my resume. Then if I get an interview, maybe. And if I fail then I will have learned and will try again.

Lots going on but my first goal is to try to get my health on track, to age backwards. Thankful to have a second chance in life to experiment with healthy living.
