And nearly a half-year gone...it's been a hard one so far too; not a lot of fun with the winter hanging on so long, and spring being so capricious and just plain ornery. April was the sick month, even as the days warmed and the sun became more agreeable. First the flu which hung around like annoying relatives; then malevolent colds and sinus infections. Jaysus it was tiresome. Wore us both out, and now my blood pressure has gone wild on me, just as I'm trying to get some stamina back in time for a little getaway I planned for June.
Right now I'm just trying to take it very easy, staying alive to make it to my Quacks office this coming Thursday. The thought of cardiologists, tests and having to give up what little pleasure I take from life is really bothering me. I'm not ready for long rehab...neither am I ready for a massive stroke. Every twinge is another heavy handed portent of gloom and doom. What crap.
Well, I planted a little bush tomato plant...and a zucchini...and hung another Hummingbird feeder near my office window. I've only seen one of the little birds at the fresh nectar so far...maybe if I can hang some flowering plant below the feeder they might be further enticed...
There's so many silly little things that make life bearable...the heady perfume of lilacs...uncouth gangs of laughing dandelions...double rainbows after a thunder shower. Ahhh goodnight.

I'm sorry about your b/p. Haven't had my own checked in a long time. There are times in the evenings when I don't think it's so good. Just the thought of an angio scares me shitless...yet so many people have them done. Even Lisa..do you remember her? LOL
I take pleasure in so many little things -- that's just the way I've become since 1994 (with a couple of set backs *G*).
I do remember Lisa...hope she's well and happy. Nice you've kept in touch with her.
My Da had angioplasty several times as I recall. Kept him alive to be 90. If that's all it would take I'd go for it probably. I just hate to get started on that healthcare merry-go-round.
