I have had no energy to do anything today, and it was sheer determination that made me go walk the treadmill this afternoon. When I came home I took an Advil and crawled into bed fully clothed (including lightweight jacket) - about 2 pm. I just woke up 2 and a half hours later! I must have needed it, but at my age I sure hate to waste even part of a day like that.
I had dinner courtesy of Donald last night, and enjoyed talking to Martha (his Mom) who is back from San Antonio where she has been since just after Christmas, for her brother in law's funeral and then visiting with her sisters and going back to old haunts in the area. She looks great and the girls are very glad to see her back. After raising two sons of her own, I think having two little granddaughters is a delight to her.
While there I used Jeannie's blood pressure monitor because I have felt like my bp was back to normal, although I couldn't say why. Well, it was absolutely back to normal at somewhere around 117/68 (or somewhere very close to those numbers). I sure don't know what caused my recent aberration in bp, but I'm happy it's ok again and I don't have to worry about it. To this day I cannot figure out why it went up to the levels it did for 2 or 3 days.
This morning I laid out some of the pieces of my quilt design and I 'm not very happy with it. Maybe there are too many different prints & colors, but this is a patchwork quilt design after all, or maybe it's just the pattern of the design. I think I do better with more specific instructions rather than trying to wing it on my own. The only area where I do great with making it up as I go along is in cooking, (but I don't cook much any more).
Although I've seen no rain the streets have remained wet. Both last night and this morning it seemed like I could feel the mist in the air - I guess from the fog. I used to love the fog but now I'm just looking forward to a warm sunny day!
- Hunkered Down!
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of rain, and it was blowing hard and coming down fast. I guess it rained for about an hour, and then again later in the morning we had another bout of rain but without the wind. In between the rain I went...

I'm just going to do a quick post today as I haven't really done anything, nor has anything happened to me. I do want to reply to Nancy's comment; she mentioned that the QVC site references the weight of the elliptical being 28...
- I Want Spring Back!
This is about as hot as I like it - 83degrees! The next 3 days are going to be in the 90's but we'll be back in the 70's next after that. I hate hot weather! I think I'm past needing prescription pain meds, but I did take an...

I have recovered from the walk yesterday, especially after taking an Advil this morning and one this afternoon. I'm going to the gym with Jeannie and Donald, but I will go easy on myself. I had thought the matter was settled as far...
- I'm Just Dragging Today
This morning I was at the lab when they opened at 8 am so they could draw a vial of blood. I have been taking a low dose of lipitor for about 2 months and they need to make sure it isn't affecting my liver. By all means take that test! ...

A "Day down the Drain" !
