Just saying good morning here. Struggling with keeping my bp down. When it's up like this I get bad headaches, then take long naps.
The only time I take a bit of bp meds. I'm extremely sensitive to medication so I only take a little and it works. Then I'm good for a while, weeks. So I don't take the meds.
Then, I'm Struggling to keep my bp up. It gets waay low. Last time lowest was 99 over 77. I have a hard time walking. Crazy. Lupus can cause both problems. So I just manage both as it happens. Guess what I take to ..up my bp? Green olives and it's juice from the bottle. Yep. Salt. And, staying hydrated..for both problems.
It is warm here this week. 50's and low 60's. It's been nice.
Leaves are almost all off of the tree around my place!

Good morning Cynthia, sorry the bp is giving you trouble. Take care of yourself!

Good morning everyone. Four hour delay at the airport, but at least we were not canceled. Newark had 300+ delays and 13 cancellations. Starting tomorrow they will institute a 10% shutdown on flights.

Good morning Sour, late is better than cancelled. Hope you have a safe trip home.

Good morning Jen Didn't know skating camp was a thing, but it does sound a lot more fun than a daycare. My skating happened mostly on sidewalks...the only rink in town was in a falling down building with warped floors (you quickly learned which areas to avoid).

No idea what kind of cake will present itself tomorrow, maybe I haven't been a good enough girl to get one. We'll find out

Hi Debby! You and your thread always add some good to the morning! Oof, yeah, seems a lot of the classic rinks had some spots you knew to steer clear of, haha.

Well they were hockey camps, but you know, lots of skating was involved .

You better get in your requests!

I heard that.

So sorry. I take a horse pill. Potassium. Sometimes magnesium when needed.
Yes, weather can be hectic for some too.

Weather changes give me alergy symptoms and of course arthritis in numerous places. Life is grand if one`s body cooperates!

Doesn't matter what kind of cake is involved, b-day cake is always good! My mom called me yesterday to say my card was going to be late in the mail because she forgot my b-day was this week. You know you're old when your mom forgets.

Is that ice hockey you played? That always looked like a potential ER visit to me. Do you still play?

We're home. Got here last night - tired but happy.

Getting home after a trip always feels good. Air travel is messed up now more than ever. Hope you can stay home for a while until things are straightened out.

Yeah, ice hockey and roller hockey. I started playing on a team when I was 9 or 10. I was the only girl until my sister played the next season.

We don't play so much since we moved and the rink is an hour away, but my sister still plays in the league and we go play open hockey and tournaments sometimes. The rink manager is the mom of our goddaughter, so it is a special place to us. Proposal happened there, I used to drive the zamboni and sharpen skates and we also found Bernie, our big orange cat at the skating rink.

Yeah, ice hockey and roller hockey (depending on the season). I started playing on a team when I was 9 or 10. I was the only girl until my sister played the next season.

Lots of good memories! And bonus you ended up with an orange cat (I'm maybe a tiny bit biased about orange cats)!
