Tuesday, Well laid plans....

Lil Sis yesterday

      I was on a roll yesterday, actually getting a few things done, not at a quick speed but putzing forward.  Lil sis called me about 4:30 p.m. and said she did not feel well and that her resting heart rate was 135.  Her fit bit was going off alerting her.  Since our mom had a terrible time with A-fib the last 20 years of her life, I was very concerned.  She of course tried to downplay it, but I told hubs I had ground beef thawed for meat loaf, and he was just to make himself a burger. I was going over to check on her.

     She was definitely running a fever when I got there ( I was masked) and her heart rate was 125.  We could not find her blood pressure cuff.  She was coughing and had sinus.  It was pretty obvious that she was not feeling well.  She said her chest felt heavy and I just took her to the ER.  Of course I was not allowed to stay.

     They checked her temp at the door and it was normal, but she was starting to break down crying, which is not something she would normally do.  I left and waited for her call.  When she was examined in the actual ER her temp was 102.2 which explains the heat radiating from her skin, her heart rate, her tears and chills.  She reported back that her blood pressure was very high also.  They kept her for about 3.5 hours.  She had a rapid covid test, which came back negative.  But they stabilized her with IV fluid, and meds.  After running every test they could think of, they did another long term covid test.  I took her home about 8:30 last night and this morning she says she feels a lot better.  Now she is quarantined, working from home until the test comes back.

So while waiting for news from her, I ran to the store and picked up a few veggies for salad.  Forgot the eggs and milk.  Hubs made me a burger, and I did not get much else done, other than getting the laundry started. I did put the groceries away and got most of our gifts put away.  We wanted D#2 to bring the kids down, but there was  ice and fog on the Polouse.  I really need to see my baby.

I have wanted a label make forever.  This will make food storage and the garage so much easier to navigate. I was happy to receive this and can't wait to use it! The problem is nothing is organized enough for me to label right now.  It is a work in progress.  But when I take down Christmas decor you can bet your life I will use this!

My new cordless vacuum is charged and ready to roll.  Hope I can use this today and I helps me stay on top of this house a little better.

Also I can use it to vacuum the furniture as it has attachments.  Our dog has a bed but he often jumps up on the navy blue sofa.  Our cat is grey and leaves hair everywhere.

I actually wore out or broke my cast Iron skillet a couple of years ago.  The handle just snapped right off.  I had that for years, Like 40 years.  My youngest bought me a new one for Christmas.  It is a little smaller than I would have bought, but if I like it Hubs is going to get me a larger one also.  As much as I cook, an extra will be good.

I just found out D#2 is taking the grand kids to Spokane at 2:00 as she has to work the next 2 days.  So I am going to drag Hubs up there after lunch so I can get in some Kelsa and Schmills hugs.

I probably won't get anything done today.... Oh well

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
