one thing leads to another day This is how I do everything, ricohocheting from one thing to another. Still, in the end, I get most things done and more than I set out to do at the start. I was told that this is how people with ADD can acomplish a lot. Wish I had known earlier it had a name. |

Drove to town after a late breakfast- I slept until almost 9AM- unheard of!- as last night was one of those nights where I watched every hour on the clock go by. And passed out around dawn.
Needed to buy more half pint canning jars so that I could freeze the pesto I made yesterday. Had to go to 3 stores before I found some. Filled 4 more half pints.
Got home and did laundry while cutting up about 10 pounds of tomatoes and making my rustic sauce with garlic, onions and basil. Filled 6 and a half of pint jars . Kept wondering why I was so tired, forgetting I hadn't slept last night.
Did my daily Italian lessons and will read for a while before- hopefully- passing out.
(I am learning Italian online with duolingo. They offer many languages to study and it's free. I like their approach, which is to teach it as we learned our native language. You don't study rules and conjugations, etc. They just have you start using words-speaking/reading/writing. I actually am starting to understand phrases, without having to translate. I actually am starting to find myself coming up with words in Italian rather than English in my day to day.

Some days I just keep ricocheting and feel like a pinball machine. That's me too! And I stop and do whatever interrupted my original task because I figure if I don't, I'll forget it and it won't get done. Then of course the original task might not get completed either..... |

Yesterday was busy. Went uptown to the church and helped set up the quilt show. Took 3 hours. Then went home and watered the garlic bed. Then saw the apples in the garage again. Took them in the kitchen and put them in the sink. Forced to do it! Got busy and canned 14 pints of apple slices packed in light syrup and cinnamon. They turned out really good. Like eating apple pie with no crust. At 7 pm returned to the church and helped take it all down. I was planning to go uptown to the Girls Night Out but never made it. My feet were not happy from all the standing yesterday.
Nothing much planned for today, but I'm sure the day will plan itself around me. Tomorrow DS and I may go fishing at the quarry. Last time of the season.

No gardening today, unless picking a tomato for dinner counts.
Saw a couple of clients at the office, did a couple of errands and stopped at the library.

Cardiologist was pleased with hubby and his test results. Unless there's an issue, he doesn't go back until his regularly scheduled appointment. He will go back to work again this weekend as I insisted he get the okay from doctor first. We stopped at two grocery stores and a thrift store before heading home and then it was a matter of tossing outdated stuff from the refrigerator to make room for all the groceries. Still have a shelf to tackle and reveling in the fact that it's currently neat and organized as I'm sure it will be a jumbled mess within a week.
Another light frost again yesterday and I did the water trick with the remaining pepper plants. Have a mop bucket of peppers waiting to be preserved and hopefully I start on that today. With cool weather on the horizon I need to start pulling meat from the freezer and deciding how I'm going to prepare it and I really need to have a cooking day.
My first job today is to water all the plants I recently brought in but will likely douse any ideas of rearranging them as that could turn into a multi-hour job. Then it's laundry and preparing for canning peppers. I'm sure there'll be a few other tasks scattered between too.

Didn't have much going on yesterday so canned some Butter beans for step mom. She loves them and pays a fortune for store bought cans. They turned out good. Not going fishing today unless brother wants to. DS is going to Iowa game in Iowa City, first game this season that he has had a chance to go to. Told him to have fun, it's probably more fun than hanging out with an old lady in a boat!! Heck I'd rather go to the game than hang out with an old lady in a boat....  So I need to get more outdoor tear down done, expecting freeze and frost early in the week. That's a good thing, the no-see-ums have still been around. Read that they go away in 2 weeks, it's been way longer than that. Need to get some organization done in the garage, almost time to wheel in the big pots for Winter. Found some shallots laying in the garden, free ones DD and I got late Spring. Found 9, so will experiment with Fall planting them. Also staked out where to plant potatoes, space for 10 hills. Stakes are so I know where to water to soften the ground. www.homestead-acres.com/planting-potatoes-in-the-fall/#Benefits_Of_Planting_Potatoes_In_The_Fall |

Wound up in the ER with hubby yesterday morning. All of a sudden he started feeling dizzy, took he Blood Pressure and it was really high, Really high when we got to ER. They did all the stroke testing etc and everything was negative. Ct scan, MRI. Neurologist thinks it was vertigo, which caused BP to spike. After 5 1/2 hours in ER he was sent home with medication. He went on line and found some vertigo exercises, which have helped and he hasn't had any dizzyness since. Keeping fingers crossed.

datgirl, As a fellow vertigo sufferer, I recommend a book called "Overcoming Positional Vertigo-by Carol A. Foster M.D." (also recommended by my physician). Also keep on hand ginger tea and ginger Gravol (if there is any nausea). Vertigo is a particularly nasty customer as you have no warning as to when it will strike. Good luck to your hubby.

They did all the stroke testing etc and everything was negative. Ct scan, MRI. Neurologist thinks it was vertigo, which caused BP to spike. Wow - talk about deja vu. I went through this 2 weeks ago, but it was me that had the vertigo. Fell twice & lost consciousness, then had a seizure, after which Mr. Breezy raced me to the ER like he was Mario Andretti. They kept me overnight & did all the usual scans/tests up the wazoo, but couldn't find anything definitive except for the possibility that I might have a tumor on my pituitary gland. So now we're waiting for various appts. at the university hospital who apparently have the necessary equipment to deal with my noggin. Soldiering on! |
