Friday - grey, rainy and humid here along the ocean. Fall weather is coming back in today and I will be glad for the cooler temps, even if it ends my deck sitting days.
Had IV fluids on Wednesday and started trying to take the potassium supplements that my doc prescribed. As of today I can't seem to keep them down so I don't know how much good they are doing me overall. Staying quiet - reading The Shipping News (bailed on A Wrinkle in Time - can't seem to read that book and stay interested), watching movies (Letters From Iwo Jima recently). Not sleeping and passed out again slamming into the door frame on the way down (ouch!). I'd be crying but I am too busy laughing about all this.
Tonight I want to head out to Wellesley to meet Marty, visit some old friends and maybe go out for dinner (which I can't really eat). The day will determine if it will be at all possible to go out there.
Right now it's a fine morning for music and deck sitting (until the rain starts again).
Hope you have a good weekend!
BTW - My new favorite quote - read it and laugh with me!

Darkness comes
Another flare up of my condition. I have lost 12 lbs in about a week and am having trouble keeping food or water down. I passed out and hit my head pretty good so I know that I have to take it alot slower until this passes. Saw the dr. on Wednesday - low b/p and low potassium levels. I go back on Wednesday to be rechecked.
Beautiful late summer weather - 80's and sunny. Spending time on the deck as I can. I have seen many cruise ships go in and out over the past weeks - I love that. Right now the Carnival Victory is sailing out, all lit up.
Finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha, watched the movie and started reading A Wrinkle in Time.

Another Day in Paradise
It's sunny and warm already this morning.
I was up at 8 a.m. putting the produce away from Haymarket and making the coffee. I am drinking a decaf/chicory blend that I make - decaf beans from Costa Rica mixed with Cafe Du Monde Ground Coffee & Chicory. Anyways that has been the start of my morning and now I am wondering if it will be another day of air conditioning. I am ready for fall weather and to be done with the heat/humidity. Alittle rain would even be welcomed by me.
Marty moved over to a new larger department. He started today and we are both relieved and happy that he has this position. This will help him in his future advancement in the company and he gets to work again with old friends.
Last week was spent in Dennisport on Cape Cod and the weather was spectacular. My daughter rented a condo with a pool and we spent every day out at the pool. We cooked at the unit rather than eating out and enjoyed our time. A week always flies by and we were all home before we knew it.
Had my allergists appointment - no news there. I did test positive for an allergy to cochroaches but otherwise I was fine. The doctor ordered the blood tests for celiac but I don't think that those showed anything either. So for now we have no explanation for why I am reacting to shellfish and certain fruits with hives and an itchy throat.
Today's agenda is a simple one - clean the house, prep the produce and make some lemonade. I plan on reading a good book and spending some time out on the deck once the sun passes over this afternoon.
