It's been a while. Enjoyed a lovely trip to Houston, TX to visit my parents. Lovely up until we all came down with the flu. Got in some nice adventures before that, though, and if we were all going to have the flu anyway....it was really nice having my parents' help.
Now that I'm home and we're all mostly well, my mind is in a constant frenzy of ideas. Ideas for fixing up the house. Ideas for gardening. Ideas for learning. The list just keeps growing. Trying to hone in and focus. I cannot do a million things at once. On the other hand, sometimes it seems I love planning more than I love doing.
Spending today catching up on laundry and dishes. Lots of relaxing for the kids. Recovery all around. Tomorrow starts my new "daily routine". Hoping it will go well. Reminding myself that I can't wait for everything to fall perfectly in place before I begin. Life is just plain messy.
It's so nice to have laundry kept up and a general sense of order in the house. It's not perfect by any means, but I don't want to live in a museum. It has a pleasantly lived in feeling.
Made a scrumptious dinner and after checking to make sure everything was going well, went downstairs to check my Facebook. Around 5pm. My vision got super blurry. So much that I couldn't read anything on the screen *with* my glasses on. Went and checked to make sure nothing was obviously in my eyes, noticed my peripheral vision was lowered...especially on my left side. Like there was pretty much nothing. Tried taking off my glasses, etc. to see if anything changed it. Checked dinner again, by the time Rod was home the vision issue had cleared up replaced by a pressure headache in my forehead and behind my ears. A little weird. Called my nurse mother and got advice as to whether I could wait and see my internist tomorrow or needed a trip to the ER. Ran to Wal-Mart to check my blood pressure and pulse. A little high, but nothing crazy obvious. So, decided to rest and see the doc tomorrow. Not how I planned to spend the evening, but such is life.
