Getting Forgetful (or is it old?)

Well, this old lady did it this time.  The blog I posted before this one should have been posted a week earlier.  However, I ended up saving it in the drafts and forgot to publish it.  Oh well.  Now I have to catch up.

I have ordered a few more Christmas presents.  I have started making some Christmas presents.  I have a whole list of items to make, and another list of items to purchase.  It’s a good thing I am starting now or I might not get done before Christmas.  There was an older blog where I said I AM SO FAR BEHIND I THOUGHT I WAS FIRST.  Well, I am at that point again.

I need to get back outside and finish a few things.  It’s time to pull some dead flowers and spray some roundup (I never did get that done).  Every time I want to spray it is windy, and I don’t do it in the wind.  I still need to weed around the birdbath and spray there.  I bought new birdfeeders, but I haven’t filled them and hung them yet because of the wind. 

Still having a problem with ants; mostly around Penny’s food.  I keep moving her food, but she doesn’t want to eat except in the original food place. 

I went back to church this morning.  I probably shouldn’t have driven, but I figure if I can drive to the doctor in the morning surely I can drive to church.  Anyway, I am glad I went.  It was good to see everyone.  Several of the people that I know have left and moved to a different church.  There were quite a few new people.  In fact, all of the musicians were new. 

This afternoon I watched some football and the NASCAR race (Sprint).  Forgot about the Xfinity race so I missed that.  Watched football.  I also got together some more of my items for my projects for Christmas.  Now I just have to start them.  This evening I watched the so called presidential debate.  What a mess.  That is all I am going to say about it.

I went to my primary doctor this week.  I had blood work done last week and this was to get the results.  All is well in that area.  It seems that raising the bed and wearing support hose has also helped with my blood pressure.  It is usually okay in the morning, but it is still higher than he wants it to be at night. Actually, it’s higher than I want it to be.   If it stays that way, the next time I see him he will adjust my medicine.  Now if they can just get the dizziness, headaches and nausea under control I will be happy.  I have been using Jim’s walking stick when I walk to the mailbox and take the trash out.  I am also using an inhaler now for my shortness of breath.  It helps somewhat. 

I was glad to hear that family and friends are safe after hurricane Matthew. 

Good Morning.  Not having a very good day today so I will just be doing some odds and ends.  Have a really bad headache.  My blood pressure is good so I’m not sure why the headache.  I did my morning chores.  Cleaned out the bedroom bookcase.  I know I will never read all of the books I have, but some of them I just cannot part with just yet.  That’s okay.  It always gives me choices.
