Hello Strangers!

I am still here. The wedding is finally over. I woke up the morning of the reception really sick with a sore throat. I made it through the day, but for the next week, I couldn't really do anything. I never get sick, but of course at that moment I did. lol It was hard to recover, then the next week, I felt pressure in my chest. Went to the er, and my blood pressure was stroke level. That was so scary. I haven't never really taken care of myself because I thought it was ok that I didn't get sick. Luckily, I didn't have any heart damage. So they gave me blood pressure medicine. I feel alot better. I have more energy. Scared myself into hopefully doing a better job of being healthy. I could really lose some weight. I feel like I have. I am drinking more water, not adding salt. Small baby steps. Now I need to get busy with some sewing. It is too hot to go outside. It has been in the 90's for a month now. This summer is going to be miserable.

My son is almost done with the regular season of baseball, then it will be all star time. I love watching him play baseball. He has had a great year. He finally was allowed to pitch and now he is pitching all the time. lol The same thing happened to his brother. His older brother always wanted to pitch but because he was needed as the shortstop, he never got to. Then they let him and he pitched all the time. I really miss my oldest playing. He was good enough to play college and maybe higher, but he didn't want to go to school! Broke my heart. But he got his GED and is now at the shipyard making great money as a welder.

Well, I am off to clean the house. It is a wreck! lol My washing machine and big freezer died the same week. The washer will be here next week. I need it now! Stay cool.
