What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
I'm with you and Grover that we can complete all the normal stuff in fewer work days. The wrong people are in charge! Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhat Grover says goes!!
DeleteMy weekend is the usual this week with work, house stuff, and church. I think it's safe to say the show is finally done for the season so I'll be taking off the chair covers on the deck so we can enjoy a bit of relaxation out there.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend!!
That would be wonderful if you could enjoy your outdoor space finally!!
DeleteCount me in on the 3 day work week. By Friday I have surpassed the level of stupid any human being can take without drinking heavily! Some really good reads this week. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete😂😆 I hear ya!! You're very welcome!
DeleteI'm about a year behind you age-wise and also always worried about blood clots. A perfect storm of things made me think it wasn't anything like that, but then I could hardly catch my breath walking just a few steps down the hall. It turns out I had several pulmonary embolisms. I'm not trying to make you overthink every symptom in the article, but the complete breathlessness and high heart rate (when lying/sitting down)were what sent me to the ER. I'm very overweight but exercise regularly and I think that's what helped me survive them honestly. They're still hanging out in there but I'm on blood thinners now and have both a hematologist and cardiologist who will keep monitoring me. They were likely caused by a genetic condition it looks like. Hopefully they will dissolve on their own because I don't want surgery. My breathing and heart rate are back to normal but I still deal with an achy chest. Just wanted to give you my experience!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I'm so glad you're okay! The thinners can do a lot. If you have a vein center close to you, you may want to check with them. The people who did the Mr's veins (and soon mine) said they remove dvt's all of the time. Not sure if the same applies to PE's or not but it's outpatient.
DeleteMy mom was susceptible to them and the article made me think of her and how many people don't know the symptoms. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
