No work today; yay! At least no commute to work. It's a holiday. I'm sitting here at the kitchen table, sipping a hot cup of java, while the pink grapefruit and mini bagel seeks out and attacks those hunger gremlins whining within. Success! I'm comfy. Having taken care of the animals, and having fed those glutonous winged creatures, I'm just watching the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway, and thinking that winning
that would be about the
only thing that could cause me to pull up roots and move.
Spent last night in the emergency room. DD was feeling like she had a brick on her chest. She thought she had the flu. Her blood pressure was rising, and she was having a hard time breathing. So, considering her history with thick blood, and the danger of blood clots, she got a free ride in the ambulance. They gave her nitro a couple times enroute and again at the emergency room. We met them there at the hospital. They gave her an EKG and tested for a heart attack. She wasn't having a heart attack. They tested for the flu, and she didn't have the virus. They tested for a blood clot and she didn't have that either. So, they admitted her for observation and now, we are just wating to see what the doctor is going to do. She is supposed to be on some kind of blood thinner, but she has just been taking aspirin, because the specialist had not made a decision on whether to continue the blood thinner. So, we don't know if that's the problem or not, but the family doctor thinks they ought to get to the bottome of this problem while they have her in there this time. I think so too. DW is on her way out there to visit her. I'm going to mind the homestead; she'll call me if there is anything serious going on. I did fine this weekend, ignoring any cravings for snacks - until last night. Ate a couple of bags of Cheez-its out of the vending machine. Just confirms that I'm an emotional eater.
It's cold enough to freeze my legs through my pants this morning. Been a while since I experienced that. Supposed to be a cold week. I'm not normally a
Cold Freak, but I realize that if you don't have a good cold spell, you don't kill off a lot of the mosquitos and other parasites that plague the animals - both wild and domesticated. We had flurries most of yesterday afternoon and evening, but nothing stuck. Come on snow, quit horsing around. We need some.
Well, don't know what I'll get done today, but I'll enjoy doing something. I zoomed in on a couple of the bird feeders I can see out the kitchen window, and attached the photo. It looks like snow, but it's just the gravel in the drive. Everyone have a great day. Toodles!
