Good something to you all .....evening here I guess I finally made it anyway.... my blood was extracted earlier so will get the report when I get back in October I guess, my BP was high at the surgery, the first time ever , so I will make an appointment when I get back next month to see a doctor, and probably change my medication as you mentioned @Shirley Martin I have checked my BP over the last couple of hours though and it has dropped from 170/98 to 106/60 so I am a bit dizzy and can't stand at the moment, but it's good that after a week being high, it has dropped for no reason at all.... Cathy and Mike stayed at this hotel last night, the only guests apart from another couple it's about $80 a night so pretty good value: I hope you are all having a good day, I will read some posts now...
Cathy and Mike are now in Holland having driven along the east/west German border, they visited an old abandoned Soviet base the Forbidden City of Wunsdorf yesterday here are a few photos... More info here LINK I wonder what is recorded on these tapes?
Hi, everybody. Well, I have got a lot more done today than yesterday. Bless my heart. @Terry Page , 170/98 is not dangerously high but you wouldn't want it to stay that high forever. That was a pretty big drop down to 106/60, though. I'd be concerned about that. Be careful not to fall. I'd love to spend a week or so at that hotel. @Maryt Hope , I love the gorgeous fall picture. @Ina I. Wonder , I'm glad things are going well for you with the insurance company. You're a sweetheart for looking after the neighbor's kids.
@Terry Page ,you posted while I was typing. M'thinks your Cathy might be a bit of a daredevil. She certainly knows how to have fun.
Good morning to you all, last night I took a cocktail of a quarter of each of 4 pills, antidepressant/anti-anxiety/sleeping pill/tranquilizer plus my 2 BP meds all washed down with a glass of cognac.....I had the best nights sleep this century, true I am not exaggerating, though slow getting going today I feel in very good spirits. Have a great weekend everyone .... A photo from Cathy who is staying with old friends in Holland until they return home on Monday, I feel a bit like Buster in this pic
We have had a fairly busy week this week, and I think we haven't been to the fitness center in several days, and maybe not at all this week. This morning, we just decided that the rest of the world could wait, and went to the fitness center. I always love the swimming, and in the cool weather , the hot tub is awesome as well. I have been using the new iPad Mini and listening to my weight-loss apps and getting back on the low carb food plan; so today, I have SO much more energy again. I think that it wears off so gradually that I really do not know just how much energy I have lost until I start taking care of myself again, eating right, and the energy starts coming back. I found a new book by Johnathon Grey, an archaeologist, and it is about the possibility that we had other well-established and advanced civilizations before the one that we now have a record of. I downloaded the PDF verion into my iBooks, and I am looking forward to reading this book.
Goood Morning everybody! Last few days have been busy, with trying to get in some movement . Downloaded app to phone, step tracker. Plus last week got on scales..... .. um starting off trying to lose at least a few pounds. Downloaded Mynetdiary...like that. So i am logging this and that, and trying to keep a stiff upper lip..have a great Sunday.
Good afternoon to you all, I took the same bedtime cocktail last night and slept well, I am slow getting going today, but that's ok, my BP has stayed normal as which is good. I bought the last of the cheese from Aldi this morning and my suitcase is more or less packed, apart from the cheese which I will put in out of the fridge in the morning it's a cool autumn day here mainly cloudy but dry. Have a great Sunday... Here are a few paintings I really like by the Russian artist Dennis Oktyabr: Son of a popular Siberian artist Valery Oktyabr, Денис Октябрь was born in the Russian city Novoaltaisk and continued the family artistic tradition. In 1992 Denis finished Artists School and in 1997 graduated Artistic College of Novoaltaisk. Oktyabr paints portraits, landscapes, genre pictures. In his paintings Oktyabr tries to abstract his mind and brush from shapes and stereotypes to reflect feelings, emotions and to illustrate the sacred process of perception and meditation. Shapes and colors of his paintings are perfect instruments to explore and embody ideas and sensations. Looking at his pictures one feels that there is a vision of the way things are intended to be, but never are.
Here are the photos from Cathy of the Arnhem Oosterbeek cemetery memorial on Sunday, they are driving home tomorrow (Monday).
