The rest of Play Cars freebie

***Note: Links for Pretty Poppies will expire 9/30. Links for Play Cars are good until 10/15. Yesterday had a nice but brief vist from son & DIL. They are finally getting a break from overtime at work (for him), drama of applying for a new position (her), and working on those estate settlements. They stopped in on their way to spend a few days on the Outer Banks, going to enjoy some peace and quiet, rest & renew. They brought me an early Chritmas gift - a Dyson cordless vacuum! They knew I'd been struggling with my old, heavy, corded vac because of my fibro etc. Hubby installed it today (the charger part, that is). There are so few outlets in this old (1950s) house that we needed up putting it in the small front bath. The only other option was the hallway but then someone would be bumping into it. After the kids left, I made what was supposed to be a copycat of Outback's potato soup. I haven't made any since my neice was living with us soem years ago. At that time even my husband had eaten it and loved it. Since I've had an iffy stomach this past week, I thought it might be soothing. But I could not find the recipe I used before. Went through looing at several on line and chose one that sounded right. The only change I made was to half the recipe. It was absolutely horrible! Tonight we are going to order Philly steak subs from a local place we've used for years. Here is the rest of Play Cars:

Don't know where week has gone! Pretty Poppies freebie

I thought I'd posted on Tuesday but apparently not and don't know why. I'm in a sort of muddle right now. Just exhausted all the time. Saw pulmonologist yesterday and despite feeling short of breath with slightest exertion, my lungs are fine. So many things need doing here but I simply can't find the energy. Tomorrow is husband's 70th birthday. Had planned to take him out for dinner but he has decided to use the ravioli maker kit I gave him. He wants to make ravioli and have grand-daughter over to have dinner with us on his b'day. Today we have:

More Poppies

Lab results are in and all okay so not a simple answer there. X-ray results in too and to me it didn't sound much different than what I already knew but radiologist suggested my doc send me for MRI so have that scheduled for 10/2. Taking my ne heart med but can't tell if anything is different. More poppies today:

Late again

2 days behind with posts. Turned out that the cut off valves under sink were source of leaks, not anything Kenneth had failed to do. Stayed busy trying to mop up water under sink and all over kitchen floor until very nice young man from Norfolk Plumbing arrived. He explained that when cut off valves aren't used for long time the interior seals etc disintegrate. So when you cut them off and back on, as when replacing faucet, the vales begin to leak. It was worse because neither my husband or I could get under sink to try turning them off, tightening as much as possible. I finally did crawl under and tightened them in off position, slowing leaks little but I was unable to stand up. The weakness in my legs is progressing, I've stumbled, had a couple of near fainting spells and on fall.

So Thursday I called my doctor and got worked in. He had no trouble recognizing that I am very weak. He also noted a rapid heartbeat. Had an EKG in office and was diagnosed with tachycardia and put on medication. Lot of blood work was taken and was also sent for x-rays of my neck to see if there might be a pinched nerve. By the time I got home I was exhausted and went to bed. Friday started the mediation and went to hospital for x-rays. It's probably something simple but I feel so out of it.

I know tomorrow is time for another post but I have an appointment and don't want to wait until after to post as I might be too tired.

More of Pretty Poppies

A little news from my world. First, the sink. My friend's son who installed the new faucet didn't do anything wrong. By next morning we had a kitchen floor covered in water. We'd called the guy who installed the faucet a couple times and left messages with no reply but now something had to be done right away so we called a plumbing service. The young man who came out was so friendly. He took a quick look, said we had 2 leaks but not to worry he could fix it in a few minutes. Actually told me to go have a seat and rest. Turned out that the valves were leaking. It seems that if you don't use the valves for a long time, the interior pieces disintegrate. He said when Kenneth cut them the valves off to do the installation and later cut them back on they had gone kaput. It really didn't take the plumber long to rebuild the valves and dry up all the water. He even offered to put the stuff back under the sink for me! That's service.

Second, I've been extremely fatigued and it had gotten worse so saw doctor today. Had EKG, lots of blood work, script for neck x-ray, and will be going to PT. He said my lower body is very weak so he wants targeted exercises to see if that improves. Also learned I have tacycardia and will be starting medication to try to bring heart rate down.

Today I have some frames for you:

Water under sink & freebie

Had trouble with old kitchen faucet so bought new one & yesterday a friend's son installed it for us. All seemed well until I tried to put back stuff under sink today and discovered we've got a leak somewhere. Such is life. Doesn't help that I' going through some kind of period of exhaustion - don't know why.

Today:
