Feeling Better

I love the piano and the horns in this song (above).  I'm listening to my Ultimate Seventies CDs.  Seems to fit my rather nostalgic mood.  I stayed home again today.  I'm feeling better, but still not sleeping well.  The decongestant I'm taking is really getting a lot of stuff draining, so I coughed a lot through the night and couldn't sleep lying down.  My head is still aching, but not the headache I had Monday thru Thursday!!

My blood pressure was back to almost normal yesterday, so I think it was high on Wednesday mostly because I'd had no sleep and that darn headache for three days.  Hopefully that's what raised it.  It has been so gorgeous all week, but I haven't been able to enjoy it.  I did sit out on the front porch for a few minutes Wednesday afternoon to watch Eler Beth riding her bike for awhile.  Then yesterday she and I played with the dogs for awhile, but not for too long.  The sun was so bright that even with sunglasses it bothered my eyes.

It stormed here last night, and there were tornado warnings just a little North of us, but nothing like what Iowa and Illinois got.  They got hit pretty hard; I think they said maybe 20 tornadoes in all.  I haven't heard yet if there were any deaths; I hope not.  The sun started shining again here about an hour ago.   For awhile there I thought it was going to be gloomy all day long.

<   Well, maybe more later.  Just thought I'd catch up on some journal writing and on some alerts.  Hope everyone has a good weekend.

You know, you may have had the headache because your BP was up..   That is usually what we see in the Emergency Room.  At any rate, I'm glad your headache is gone, and your BP is down too!
