My own thankfulness today is for the power not going off during the storm we had yesterday, and for the neighbour who attacked our driveway with his snow-blower this morning. [ 05.

Arthritis in shoulders makes it hard to hoist bags from kitchen bin into bins downstairs. I am often helped by someone in car park who sees me moving to bin room. Aas I was this morning. I do not remember seeing this person before but she said she was an owner not a tenant. There have been a few sales lately so perhaps she has just arrived. -------------------- Buy a bale.

I have been sick, especially in the afternoons -very grumpy and not able to think straight. It worried me because otherwise I was feeling good. Then, when I was doing my needlework the new lenses in my glasses didn't seem to be helping me focus and I worried that maybe I would have to give it up, after having just re-discovered it. Finally on Monday morning the reason dawned on me. I take meds which lower my otherwise high blood pressure. The heat was lowering my blood pressure further, so that it was now too low. This had happened for a few days last summer, but then it wasn't so relentlessly hot. I Googled the Mayo clinic on the symptoms of low BP to confirm my suspicions and they fitted my experience. Then I remembered my GP suggesting I halve the meds on hot days, miraculous healing! I am so relieved. When confusion is a symptom and you live alone with no one else you can check it out with life can get a bit scary.
