I was wiped out yesterday. I had one of my migraine spells but without the headache. I had all the other symptoms of nausea, tiredness, light sensitivity, achy eyes, weakness. I didn’t have a thermomitor so I don’t know if I had a fever. Symptoms of a dozen other deseases so I wondered if I had lyme disease, swine flu, rocky mountain fever, or something else. My niece and her husband, Cheryl and Ed, took me to my nephew Rick’s to celebrate the fourth. Both Rick and Michelle’s family were there. Cheryl wasn’t feeling well either. They had been out overnight in their houseboat. They watch the fireworks display from the boat. The bay was a little choppy and Cheryl still felt like she was going up and down.
The food was good and I overstuffed myself. They had crabs that we had to crack open. They were a mess. I had two but they were so much work one would starve to death trying to eat them. They also served hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone brought a dish. I got some cole slaw at the Redner’s Supermarket and hoped it was good. I like the Acme’s cole slaw but I don’t see any around here. Someone made a spinach salad with strawberries and a poppy seed dressing. That was real good. Someone brought potato salad and my sister-in-law, Sylvia brought another cole slaw. I had some of everything and reclined in the chaise with Danny. It was a good day for the pool but I didn’t feel up to it.
We came home around five thirty and I took Danny out for his walk. We didn’t get far when he heard some fire crackers and headed for home. He was terrified and didn’t know where to hide. I put his portable kennel in the bedroom behind the door and showed it to him. He went in it for awhile but came out and went from one end of the house to the other. He looked in all the closets and hid behind the toilet. When I went to bed, he jumped in with me and nearly laid on my head. I moved over and he stayed there for the rest of the night.
I went to the little church again today. Some of the people remembered me. The minister was away so they had the youth minister preach. I like how this church keeps to schedule. They also have dinners on Thursday with small group meetings afterward. I liked that about the Nazarene Church that we used to go to. I think this church will work out just fine. They have a good sense of community.
The manager cut my grass again this week. He son had a problem with his mower. The iris garden was so choked with weeds that we pulled up the wooden boundary thingy and she mowed them all down. The roots are still in good shape so the irises will come back. I can plant some of mine in there too.
My nephew, Rick is on his way over and so is Ed. Ed has my lawn furniture on his truck and will be bringing it over. The manager, Jannine will be lending me a futon until I get my furniture move in. Rick and Ed can bring it up from the mobile parks garage.
