Nothing new

That's right. Nothing new under the sun. Even the sun is lazy. Perhaps the sun has been reading Al Gore's book about global warming and wants to prove otherwise.

I canned the peach preserves. Two jars didn't seal so I will have to do them over. I used lids left over from last year and maybe they have been the culprit. The preserves taste good 'though.

I finally got to the library and got a couple new books and a book on CD. I can listen to it as I work....work..?....isn't that a four letter word? !!

I notice that some bloggers do not mince words and use some vocabulary that would make a sailor blush. Mayberry makes me wonder about what he is like like in REAL life. Good thing there is such a thing as free speech.

This morning a friend called and told me she was having dizzy spells, feeling weak and tired, along with seeing lights and stars. I drove out to where she works and took her B/P and found it to be slightly high, but not drastically so. I asked her what she had for breakfast and she said she had stopped at the store and got a candy bar and started eating it in the store. When she got to work she drank cokes. SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR. Eating and drinking sweets made her feel better for the short duration and then her BS dropped out. That is what kids do, eat a lot of junk. Apparently some adults do, too.

I did tell her she had to eat a substantial breakfast and she said she didn't have time. She doesn't have to be at work until 9 AM, so I think she could make time. Duh. As she has had low BS and high B/P in the past you would think she would know the symptoms, yes?

By the way, she sells grave stones and monuments. I guess she should set one aside for whomever...duh.

Anyway, I forgot my B/P cuff and she took it home with her. I hope I get it back and it still functions!! I can see her grand kids with it; they are not cheap.

My sister calls me several times a day sometimes and today was one of those days. She tells me how bad she feels and I don't doubt her, but she never asks me how I feel, not that that I would complain to her anyway. Life is to short to worry about minute infractions to the id.

I started to go shopping, but as soon as I got my fresh books from the library I made a beeline for home. I will finish the little book I started about the history of Kentucky and then dive into the new books. In reading about the settlements of Ky. IN. and TN. I note how those times were filled with thieves, profiteers and scoundrels, bigots and bums...just like the modern times you read about in the papers and hear about on the news. Things stay the same.
