Second cleaning day and I wonder will it eventually be one day

What a wonderful cheerful thought first thing in the morning. Just one cleaning day a week would be wonderful. 

I also was contemplating the results of my blood work. Whilst Edward was still alive he had a very sweet tooth and would want to buy goodies each shopping day. He had this canny trick that he used which was that he wanted to buy pastries or cakes or something like that but I needed to help him eat that. Because I knew he had a sweet tooth I would always say that I would eat a little but buy the smallest one! I didn't bake because he would eat it all so buying just one treat a week worked better. But I always had a total cholesterol reading about 0.6 to 0.8 above normal after menopause. But I was noting that the final result for me this time was the sum of HDL plus LDL plus 40% triglycerides instead of 20% glycerides which means I was actually normal because I do not have a sweet tooth nor do I eat a lot of red meat or prepared foods. I prefer to make most of what I eat. Interesting really in retrospect. Plus I did not fast for the normal time that one would which would likely mean an even lower cholesterol than 5.05! Amazing in my old age but it is really a matter of life style as the doctors say. Occasionally I might eat a piece of cake or a pastry but pretty rare; I just do not have a sweet tooth. I prefer cheese, (not too much) or freshly prepared lemon or lime juice for a refresher or a bowl of yoghurt. 

Cleaning all accomplished yesterday and today the basement. More downsizing and more material brought together into the one room where I can work on it when I am not writing the Blake or Pincombe books. Pretty much everything has now been looked at and placed where it can be downsized to cousins or used to put together the Kipp Newsletter or the new YouTube channel of Ed Kipp's Talks. Still in process as I need to have clickable links for the slides. Hopefully up and running next week. He gave quite a number of talks which I filmed on our old Video Camera. 

Hard to believe we are reaching towards the end of July. This month has passed very quickly. 

Breakfast next and then Latin and the basement cleaning to follow.
