Just had a power outage come back on a few minutes ago trying to catch up with comments & messages. As I haven't been quite myself the past few days. Between coughing and sneezing (yep a stupid cold), I also think the holidays coming up and not being able to get the kids much of what they really want is starting to get to me.
Perhaps that's the reason my blood pressure was 144/98 yesterday when they took it at the Health Dept. But then I was a bit worked up because a county car was parked in the handicapped spot with no handicapped sign in it. But they were addressing the issue of getting another sign to post higher up on a post or railing nearby as it was snow covered that morning when the guy showed for hearing there. But it was much higher the day of the accident and they didn't keep in overnight for observation - shocking I thought for sure I'd be there till it went down more.
The doctor has me on Lasix to help with the swelling in my feet, legs and keep it low but there are times when it does flare up a bit as I'm sure others with BP problems are aware of. I have been busy trying to get my Christmas Cards finished and have mailed most of them yesterday only a few left as I was waiting for emails to confirm a few addresses from family and friends. But rest assure although, I may be feeling a bit down I have no plans of taking my own life I have two boys to take care of. Although, actually I think for the past year they've been taking care of me somewhat helping get some things done around the house I can no longer do or that cause me pain from trying to do them.
I'm not even sure about baking cookies this year as I have in the past although, I guess I should make a couple varieties as my mom doesn't do much with her new stove/oven she can only do one try at a time the way the rake settings are. LOL But I need to be getting dinner going as I was going to start it when the electric went out, but wanted to give all an update as to my lack of appearance on here.
Of course, I don't trust the electric company so I am hoping the electric stays on long enough to get dinner done then I will come back and catch up a little more with returning comments and messages. And adding new rider to the train.
