A lot better today

I really felt a lot better today, and took it pretty easy.

I have a doctor appointment coming up, so we can see what is going on.

Yesterday was horrendous, but it has passed.

Your prayers have helped, I am sure.  That and a little really taking it easy (which can’t hurt).

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Sorry about today

I did manage to make it to Walgreens today, but under great duress.  I also took my car for a 15 mile run, as yesterday it had started iffy.

But today I was really sick, weak, short of breath.  I am just shutting down and will see how I feel tomorrow.

If I can get squeezed in at the doctor’s–good.  I don’t really want to go to the emergency room.

Just keep me in your prayers for now.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

My stress-free life ha ha ha

Yesterday was so messed-up I never put my end of the day post on.

Well today I felt physically much much better.

However the stress factor set in.

I have one prescription.  It is an inhaler, which I use once per day. Same time every morning.  Easy, right?

Nope.

Almost every month there is some kind of hassle.

I got an email from Walgreens the other day, saying it would be ready for pick-up today.

I carefully timed when I would go to pick it up as this town has to be very cautiously navigated–dodging the school buses in the early AM, then the going to work traffic, then the lunchtime traffic and God help you if you get caught in the school bus after school gridlock.  Not to mention the coming home from work crowd a little later on.

I got to Walgreens around 1:30 and the line at the pharmacy went almost all the way up one aisle.  When it finally got to be my turn it was almost 2:00.

Then the clerk informs me that they won’t have my prescription until after their 5 o’clock delivery from another store.  Disbelieving, I said “Do you mean I have to come back here after 5?”

She nodded and said very softly  “Yes.”

I left the store, came home and decided I would go when the pharmacy opens tomorrow.  I’m  supposed to use the inhaler at the same time every day, but it will be late tomorrow.  I usually take my med at around 6 in the morning.  No way was I going back there today.

I did ask about delivery, but that’s a whole ‘nother hassle (which I am too tired and too annoyed to go into right now.

Hope you all had a good day.

At any rate,  have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow (it’s got to be better than today).

God bless everybody.

Day 3 (or is it 4) of rain and gloom

That about says it all.  I am absolutely stir-crazy, with a heavy dose of cabin fever.  Stop, already with the rain and gloom.

We did not get the high winds and flooding, thank the good Lord, but this weather is killing me.

It is also very cold in the apartment, as the heat is not on yet.  It’s cold for me, anyway.  I may be more sensitive to that since I seem to have lost my body fat layer somewhere along the way.

Had a difficult time today finding content for the blog.

I will do better tomorrow.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

So so day again

I haven’t been quite up to par the last few days.

I’m sure it will pass.

I ended up falling asleep at midday today, which is really unusual.

I’m going to eat early and rest.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

So far, so good.

Today was rather difficult.  The Nor’easter sort of sucked all the oxygen out of the room as far as new goes.  Not much has materialized where I am (for which I am grateful).  I hope it stays that way and we don’t have a power failure (my biggest concern).

I’m going to fold my tent and watch some TV.

It’s been gray and rainy off and on all day, with some pretty hefty wind gusts.  That’s more than enough for me.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

PattyPS  Don’t forget to look at Byron’s baby picture.  I love it.

Here’s some footage of Long Beach Island today

Weather update

Here it comes–now they are telling people to evacuate down the shore,

Waiting for the storm

This is Long Beach Island, where they are expecting a fair hit from the Nor’easter approaching.  We had many a happy day there, but I would not want to be there for the next two days.  This film is what is going on there right now.

I’m just going to hunker down, make my supper, watch some TV and go to bed early (as usual).

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

So-so day

Today was so-so, not great.

Ever since  Lee’s death, I’ve had occasional bouts of what could best be called anxiety.  Not a panic attack, or anything like that–just anxiety.  I kind of sit myself down, deep-breathe, and make a conscious effort to relax.  It usually works, but it takes awhile and truthfully, I would rather not have to deal with it.  I also get anxious when I first go out to do something, but that passes right away.

I’m sure those of you out there who are widowed may have had to deal with something like this.

Or maybe it’s just me.

Aside from that, it was an OK day.

I still have the problem with Lee’s reprints.  Jill did tell me how to do it, but honestly, it’s too complicated for me.  Today I put two reprints out there and they both got zero views, and that’s because no e mail is sent for them (even though the darn computer tells me emails are being sent for them when I post them grrrr.)  If I ever get the energy, I will call Jill and have her instruct me over the phone, which will require me to change my phone cord as the computer I use is at the other end of the apartment.  Lee used a laptop at the table, but that poor thing is so old and cranky I wouldn’t touch it.

My energy levels are really low.

Aside from all this whining, it was a pretty ok day.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
