Thank goodness, I am feeling a bit better this morning, the headache and muscle spasms seem to be easing a bit. I don't know what in the world I would have done with myself if I still felt as wretched today as I had the last couple of days.
I am a bit nervous that my heart rate/BP issues are coming back in a not very good way. Just standing shoots my pulse rate over 100 bpm. I checked it before I got out of bed this morning and it was 76. I stood up, and it went to 114 bpm. Just standing should not do that to anyone. Ugh.

My LLMD increased the dosage of the fludrocortisone that helps build blood volume and I picked that Rx up yesterday. *fingers crossed that it helps*

Highlight of my day yesterday-- I was at the vet's to get heartworm tabs and there was a Newfie there. OMG- what an absolute sweetheart!!!! She was 147 lbs of pure mush!!! I had to go over and pet her and talk to her and rub her belly, and she was just sooooooo sweet. I texted Cait about it and she said that I should have sent her a pic. I had thought about it but figured that was kind of stalker-ish. LOL

Speaking of Cait- guess who is home throwing up again today?
I HATE that she feels the need to apologize to me when she is sick- I think that hurts more than the stress of the school issues. :frusty:
it sucks.

Another rainy and cold day here, it feels like this is never going to end. I am going to try to get the stuff done this morning that I hadn't been able to do the last few days. Then I am working this afternoon. Maybe, i can get some scrapping done. I am in a creative drought again. I guess that happens when your brain hurts to much to think. ;)

Hugs to alllllll!!!!
 
Everyone is so quiet here. I hope that Kat is surviving work and that Nancy is soaking up the AZ sun and getting pics of all of the birds. And al of the people who read this, hope you are well, and don't feel shy to say Hi.

Trudy- Were you able to get pics of your flowers yesterday? B/c the weather has been so cold, my azalea is struggling and the Rhodo is nowhere near ready to bloom. How crazy that it was warmer here in December!? It was 70*F on Christmas. we sure have made Mother Nature angry.
Smart move to not take on an Intense hike, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself either. And WTG on swimming again. I miss you and Shar comparing swim notes.
Yeah, my dad is pretty cool. My kids say all of the time how they can't imagine how we didn't get along *at all* when I was a teenager, since we are so close now. I tell them him is a different G-pa than he was a dad in the 80's LOL
Awwww, that is a bummer about Mason running off. I feel the same about Christopher. I miss the days when he would sit and cuddle with me, now it is busy-busy-busy. Guess it is all part of growing up. Are you counting the days until you get out to see them? I bet you are!

Rae- So happy to hear that Taz is feeling better. That is crazy about the raccoon on your deck. I would be nervous about that with my dogs too. Hope that the weather wasn't too yucky walking the dogs but they probably enjoyed all of the mud and puddles.
Glad that someone else gets as nervous about running out of gas as I do. I have never run out of gas and I don't intend to :)

Guess i should sign off now- I don';t have to go to the bus stop but that means I have to call the school and email the dr for a note. Not that they will excuse it anyway. :mad:

hugs!!
 
Glad you're feeling a little better this morning, Chris - but wow on that heart rate when you stand up. My Lyme friend used to experience the same thing - she said it used to feel a bit like vertigo, but with heart racing. Not sure what she did to help resolve it, but she can at least walk around now without any problems. Poor Cait.

I guess the rainy cold is just hangin' around, isn't it. Another day of that here, too ... and probably for the next couple of days (oh, look, Sunday's supposed to be nice ... so the weather guy says). Was MIA yesterday after getting a family-related curve-ball thrown in my face on Tuesday night ... a lot to process. But anyway, movin' on ... heck! got too much other stuff to have to get done! LOL
 
Morning ladies... I was up at 3:30 am and could not get back to sleep, so up I got and hit the computer and sat like a zombie just cruising around Pinterest for about an hour. Ugh. I feel like the walking dead!

I made some breakfast for DH and myself and then tried to get back to sleep. I think I might have squeezed in an hour or so, but feel more tired now than before. Ohhh I hate when I don't sleep well!! :gaah:

Chris - Glad that you are feeling a bit better today, but that high blood pressure must scare the heck out of you!! I did not get my pics taken yesterday, but today is a sunnier day although the temps are cooler, it might be a better day to try it. I am counting the days until we bring Heather and Mason back with us, but not looking forward to the very long flight. It's not that I don't like to fly, but its a long time to spend crammed into a small tin can of a plane. At least its not as bad for me as my Gary, he is a bit claustrophobic and does not like to be trapped in those small spaces very much. I will have to make sure we have something good to watch or to read before we go. Sorry that Cait is not feeling well again today!

Kat - Oh dear I hope it was nothing bad that happened to anyone in your family!! :hug: hopefully everything works out!! Glad to hear that you are getting a bit of nice weather for the weekend, you guys really could use it!!

Poor people in Fort MacMurry Alberta, the whole city has been pretty much consumed by fire and the everyone was forced to evacuate. Not sure if any of you have seen the news where you live, but its really devastating , please send out all the good vibes you can to them, there will be so many that will be homeless now. :sad: Oh ya I got my Abstract painting done yesterday, now I just have to sign it and seal it with a protective coat and hang it on the wall. I really like the way it turned out and once its hung up I will get a photo to you! Have a great Thursday everyone and do something that you love today! :wave:
 
Good morning, ladies. The rain stopped yesterday afternoon so had a fun time out with the dogs. The sad thing is that the city is getting much more diligent about hiding and spotting people out with their dogs off leash so they can fine them. I have heard lots of complaints lately from other dog owners who have been fined. We all need somewhere to bring our dogs to run and play and there just aren't enough dog parks around. Plus, there is an epidemic of kennel cough for dogs running rampant in the Vancouver area so no one wants to go to dog parks anyway. I haven't been caught yet to be fined but unfortunately it'll probably happen at some point.

Another animal story....this morning my hubs went out the front door to get the morning newspaper and saw two cats across the street looking at him, then they raced over and sat a few feet from him, at the front stoop. He didn't have his glasses on so didn't realize until they were a few feet away that it was a raccoon and behind that, the neighbors cat. The raccoon was sitting up on two feet pawing at Darrell as he stood there dumbfounded. He stepped backwards, jumped through the doorway and shut it. He was afraid the raccoon might come right in the door. They are getting braver and braver lately. I guess the neighborhood cat is hanging out with them. I didn't think that raccoons and cats would be friends. So we'll have to be extra careful, paying attention to Taz when he's out b/c he'll want to play with them and I would hate to see him hurt.

Chris - sorry about Cait's being sick again. Poor girl. How fun to meet the Newfie...147 lbs...wow. Big dog. I love to meet dogs when I'm out too. Last night we met a terrier mix that was a bit apprehensive as she looked at Ava (who can blame her, the big horse that she is) and Ava kept staring at her and leaning in and then leaning away. The woman looked a bit nervous so I explained that Ava was thinking about zooming in for a kiss and then sure enough, Ava lunged, planted a huge slurpy kiss on the little dog and then stared at her, tail wagging madly. The woman laughed and said that was the cutest thing ever! Ava sure is a kisser :)

Trudy - not sleeping well sucks. I had a better night last night but the night before that....up most of the night and dead tired yesterday. ugh. The sun is out but it is much cooler than last week but no complaints...as long as the sun shines.

Kat - hope the family stuff isn't too serious.

Off I go to work now, my boss has loaded me up already today with tons of work. It's going to be one of those days. Have a great day, everyone.
