Trying to be healthy-would my body cooperate? in Just me!
So I’ve been dealing with high blood pressure for years, but it’s been a bigger concern in recent months. Saw my very attractive cardiologist last week, and he doubled my medication. It’s helping...
Waiting on the snow in Just me!

Another day, another health issue for us in Just me!
Bill has had a painful knee injury for quite awhile now. The injury happened at work, so workman’s comp is handling it and paying him while he’s out from work. So tomorrow Bill will have surgery ...
Halloween party in Just me!
So I planned a Halloween party for our church, and it was tonight. I’ve been running like crazy this weekend and feeling pretty poorly, so I was kind of dreading it. Also, we only have a few kids...
Time to feel better! in Just me!
So I’ve been pretty much laid flat all week due to a parainfluenza. That is a virus that acts like the flu, but doesn’t respond to flu medications. I saw my doctor, who put me on antibiotic becau...
So I had the catheterization Wednesday. It took forever! They didn’t take me to the cath lab until at least 2 hours after I was scheduled. More time to get nervous! While I was there, my blood p...
So Wed. I will have a heart catheterization. I’m a little scared about the procedure, although it’s supposedly so easy now. We’ll see what happens!
So this happened. in Just me!
So Wednesday evening I came home from work feeling awful. Unnaturally tired, pain in chest and left arm. Bill took me to the ER, and I was in the hospital until this afternoon. After a lot of tes...
Stormy Days in Just me!
School closed early today, and we have a day off tomorrow. All the schools around here are closed. I think everyone got worried that power would go off, and there might be water damage or trees d...
Some asked for an update on my goals, so here it is so far: Still wearing earrings every day. Need to get some new ones, so I have more variety. I’ve been eating salads every day for lunch and no...
With the new school year starting, I’ve set a few new goals for myself: 1)Wear earrings every day. I have my hair short now, and it makes a nice accent on my outfits. Time to spiffy up a bit! 2)G...
Wonderful week! in Just me!
So, here’s a quick synopsis of the week Bill and I had on the mission trip with some youth from our church. We went to Western NC and “camped” at a middle school. Slept on cots in classrooms, at...

Waiting for next weekend! in Just me!
So very excited! We leave Friday to go to Atlanta! Bill bought me tickets to see the Atlanta Braves Saturday game as a birthday present. Friday night we’re going to eat at Murph’s, owned by forme...
Okay. I am saying it. I need to lose weight! I have the motivation when I look in the mirror, but not when I’m thinking about what I want to eat. Must.find.a.way!
Enjoying my time off from school right now, but probably being a little too lazy. L I did do some laundry today and some decluttering. Lots more of that needed on this summer break! I probably sh...

Almost done! in Just me!
We’re counting down the days at school now. There are 8 1/2 days left! The kids know it’s almost done, so they’re all crazy. Still, I look at the ones who are moving up to a new level next year,...

My grandson Owen has been on a school trip for 16 days and is finally back!! I will get to spend time with him tomorrow when we celebrate his return, his sister Caroline’s birthday (she’s 9 today...
Quick entry about a small thing in Just me!
I know it’s a little silly for a very grown woman to be so excited about something like this, but our washer broke down, and the replacement parts were going to be too much. We started looking at...
Wild night in Just me!
Early yesterday evening a tornado came through our area. I was taking a nap when the warning alert sounded on my phone. We had wild weather in our neighborhood, but a little farther east in town ...
Bill knew I had been unhappy about the blandness of my Spring Break, so he took me to a nice tavern to have lunch. Then we went to the bakery down the street and got some delicious cookies. It wa...
