Actually what a yesterday and a night which is now morning. I started out yesterday for the mall specifically going to Macy's. As I was driving I was going past my PCP office so I thought I should just stop and make an appointment as I have not been feeling all that great recently...a month.... and inquire about a flu shot. Well I guess it was the right thing to do. Yes I could get the flu shot, but first a check on my blood pressure. The MA took it twice and looked concerned and gave a shout out to the NP and it was taken again with a different device. Next thing is that the NP strolled in to chat. He was very concerned that my BP was extremely high. A quick impromptu exam and the heart was okay and questions answered and yes I would be given the flu vaccine but was then ordered to go home and rest... do nothing or at least as little as possible for the next few days. I need to check my pressure daily and write it down and return next week...or if it continues to be as high return sooner. No stress is what I need right now.....okay. Shortly after returning home, Robyn....across the courtyard called and hubby Dave was bringing me a dessert. Just what I needed.
….I could not wait to have my dinner so I could munch on this...but the good news is, she sent 2 pieces so now I have another for today...delicious.
I have not been idle ….
The wings of the dragonfly are finished.... now to do the body. The colors are so pretty..... jewel like. Before beading the body the perforated paper needs to be cut away so that might be today.
At the moment I am having my first cup of coffee and holding ice to my shoulder as it is very sore and a little swollen. The count down for The Brother Alan is in full mode....about 26 days... and I am trying to get things ready. If the weather would only cooperate I can work in the garage. I decided that I would like to hang a hummer feeder outside my bedroom window. Oh and the AC issue, well now the filter is an issue.... always something but I am trying my hardest not to feel ruffled in any way.
An update on Eva P... aka mom.... she is doing better. This lady who will be 93 in December has 9 lives. Thank you for the good thoughts sent her way. Thank you for visiting and for your kind words. Thank you most of all for your friendship.

You've been busy, hope your blood pressure goes down. dessert looks yummy. like your dragonfly. Glad Ms. Eva P. is feeling better. big hugs.
Good thing you stopped in Grace, it's nice that they are keeping an eye on you - just make sure you take their advice. It's hard to sit back and take it easy.
Do as the doctor's office told you and rest/relax. Things can wait to be done. Take care of you first. Hugs!
I am hoping your BP goes right back down! I also hope your shoulder feels much better tomorrow. Alan and Lisa will be here so soon!!
Hi Gracie: I wonder of your bp was up do to your shoulder hurting, when I hurt my wrist my bp was a little high from the pain.
I hope your bp goes back to normal and your shoulder stops hurting.
Love the butterfly.
What wonderful neighbors you have to bring you desert.
Less then a month yahoo and your brother will arrive.
Have a great weekend.

Good that the elevated BP was caught and Diamond is correct...pain can
do that. Praying you and Mom through.. please take care. Who knows,
such a dessert may remove diminish the stress and bring down the BP..
wouldn't that be nice, if so, Gracie...
Hope you're pressure is down and your shoulder is better. The joys of getting older. Dragon fly is beautiful! Take care.
Your dragonfly is gorgeous! No working in the garage for you for a few days... take it easy!
Sorry to hear about the high BP but at least they are keeping an eye on you.
Stitching the beautiful dragonfly should help you relax.
The dragonfly looks great, I hope working on these will relax you, as per doctor's orders :)
