I passed out this afternoon. I had been out mowing. My heart would start racing after mowing for about 15 minutes. I would come in and lay down and it would slow down then I would go back out. I did that about three times. I was laying on the couch and Jim asked me to come to the bedroom to help him with a window. I must have gotten up too fast as next thing I knew I was laying on the floor. I think I took five years off of Jim’s life. I scared him he said.
I wasn’t out very long and was able to sit up for a bit and then laid down on the bed. I never got to sleep but felt better when I got up. I didn’t go back out to finish the mowing.
Not sure what is going on but guessing it has something to do with my thyroid. My BP was low yesterday when I gave blood. My heart rate has been bouncing between being too fast and too slow. Guessing my BP is doing to the same thing. I guess it could be a delayed reaction to giving blood. I’ll ask my Endocrinologist Monday if it is OK to give blood again.
It could have been a reaction to the heat. I don’t handle heat well and I was sweating a lot this afternoon which is unusual for me.
We got a nice rain for a bit late afternoon. We were sitting out on the back deck and enjoyed hearing it hit the garage’s metal roof. We would get an occasional hail stone. It finally decided to let go and it poured hard for a bit. It was almost dinner time so I came in and started dinner. We finally got some real hail for about one minute. Grateful it didn’t damage any of the vehicles.
Jim grilled hamburgers for dinner. I fixed hash browns and a salad. Easy and quick dinner. My favorite type of dinner.
I started my homework assignment today but I was using my iPad and realized I needed to be on Jim’s computer. I will get up tomorrow morning and get it done. I have taken several days off and it is time to get back to it.
I am getting good at not getting much done during the day. I haven’t written any letters or done my homework. I didn’t even get my mowing done today. Somehow the days pass regardless if I get anything done or not.
I got in some more receiving blankets so will work on getting them cut into the right size for more face masks. Cutting them out is the hardest part of making the masks. I can get 13 pieces out of each blanket. Hoping some more ribbon will come in tomorrow so I can get more masks completed.
It reached 88 here today. Too hot for me! I am a fair weather person – I don’t like below 50 or above 80. Maybe we need to move to San Diego.
Still living life in my peaceful valley. Feel a bit disconnected from my physical body though. I am always surprised when it acts up on me. I’m sure tomorrow will be a better day.
Grateful Jim was here to help me this afternoon, grateful for the rain to cool things down, and grateful I have the luxury of not having to do anything during the day.
