Well, for anyone who may be lurking out there - I did not fall off the face of the earth. Although, there were a few times over the past few weeks that I would have gladly jumped.
So much has been going on.
The last two weeks of school was jam-packed with activities. I went on four field trips in five days (with a pounding headache that would not go away). I was scheduled to go on one more but my blood pressure hit the roof so Dr. Principal sent me home instead. Thank the Good Lord she did. I went to my doctor to try to get something (anything) that would get rid of that blasted headache and discovered that I am in stage 1 of hypertension. The doc can't seem to connect the "why" dots to tell me that one particular thing or another actually caused this condition. A great deal of it is heredity. (Thanks Mom, lol) Nah, there are several factors. No matter what the cause, I have to deal with it now. Good news is that the headache if gone. The BP is still high. It's going down, but still not low enough.
So, the last day of school was Friday, May 23rd. Jacob and I have been resting - alot - this week. I have done very little this week. Doctor's orders. I've also been trying to watch what I eat - stay away from caffeine - stay away from sodas (oh, my beloved Pepsi) - and get plenty of rest. I have been instructed to begin some kind of regular exercise. I love to walk but even that can get boring. I wish we lived in a place where Jacob and I could ride bikes without having to haul them somewhere to do so. The road we live on is much too busy.
Oh,well. We'll do something. Maybe I'll get us a badmitton set. That would be fun.
I'm looking forward to a fun and happy summer.
My first year at the elementary school was great. I worked with some wonderful people. Having great people to work with sure makes going to work every day a lot easier. I count all my new friends as blessings. God is truly good!
My prayer is that each one has a wonderful, safe and fun summer. I'll look forward to seeing them in the fall.
