Whoo hoo. Temp has plummeted to 80..... but.... humidity pegged out above 90%, :( so, no outdoor work for me today. Earlier, before the rain, I mowed another section of the lawn, and made my monthly run to Sam's club.

It's good that you didn't subject yourself to that heat and humidity SD. I have a neighbor who belongs our complex's gardening committee. She was out there in (felt like) 100 degree weather and my Honorary Son #3 was quite concerned about her. We know she loves puttering around out there. Thank God she didn't get a heat related illness.

Well - I had my day out to Donnington. Three trains each way. I enjoyed it. A lovely little craft beer bar on the station too ;)

But the highlight of the day was making a new little friend on the train on the way back across the pennines. Meet Cassie - what a cutie I just couldn't resist having a hold and a littler cuddle :love:

What a nice face you have Oy. And your little friend is definitely a cutie (this coming from a cat person). 😺
 
Emptied the dishwasher. Not because it had completed its cycle but because it started making a shrill, high-pitched sound that I hadn't heard before. Turns out it was alerting me that there was a leak somewhere. I watched a few You Tube videos and figured out the problem. It doesn't appear to be anything major but I had to empty everything out, cut the power to the machine, remove the standing water in the unit and do a few other things and then wait 24 hours. I'll know tomorrow if I have a second career as an appliance repair woman.
 
After being up during the middle of the night, I can't believe I went back to sleep around 7 a.m. and slept until 3:00 p.m.! I decided I'd better listen to some music and get myself in gear. I cleaned some garments and rotated seasonal things in the closet, something I meant to start a month ago. I finished just in time. HS#3 called and asked if I wanted to go to Amazon Fresh (AF). I sure did, so I changed and got ready by the required time of 6:20.

AF keeps it cold in there and it was actually welcomed today, so I waited a few minutes to put my sweater on. Our temp was 101, with the real feel high of 110!. I'm surprised he wanted to go in that heat since his car is not air conditioned (something I didn't realize until tonight).
 
Morning all, my early walk at 6:45 ,temp was 72 as I walked around the building 1 time before breakfast
This morning at 9,taking the Gates van to local hospital{where I used to work} for my annual mammogram
I may walk home if its not too humid
The rest of my day read today's NYT, my book.
I called in for my dinner reservation in the dining room for 5:30, have no idea who I'll be sitting with

Gosh! It's almost as warm there as it is here.
 
Morning all folks, the lights here are flickering from thunder and storms, no rain for me yet...slept fitfully dunno why, but
made it to another day....yay....temp is 77F going to 89F i think,
Brain kinda scattered this morning....ah well....y'all make it
a great day okay!!!! ! :) :p:coffee:
 
I'm up but probably not before @hawkdon. ETA: See? He just posted before I started keying this in.

For breakfast there are sausage and cheese muffins in the oven because DSIL is off today and gets to eat breakfast at home...and at his leisure.

DD and DGD are going to Sam's Club this morning, then coming home to unload frozen stuff and pick me up to visit the Aldi Aisle of Shame.

I dunno what else is on the agenda. No watering because we had rain last night.

The muffins are the first of my three Optimizers today. Gotta think of two more.
 
It's been an exciting week so far.

Monday morning, I got up, putzed around, did some posting and then started feeling bad. And badder. And badder.

First my face and mouth started tingling. Then my face turned bright red and my eyes got bloodshot. Then my legs got bright red. Then the chest pains and pressure started and I couldn't get a deep breath.

The Spousal Equivalent got out the blood pressure machine and it wouldn't measure my blood pressure. I was sweating profusely and my vision was affected. I really, really felt bad and was getting really scared. Terrified. I swear I felt like I was leaving this earth. While this was happening, my hands and feet started itching intensely, very bad. Like a bad allergic reaction but I hadn't eaten or taken or been exposed to anything unusual. They tested my histamine level and it didn't show a reaction, so who knows?

He called 911 for an ambulance and they were there in minutes. They couldn't get a blood pressure reading, either, and I didn't have much of a pulse. They loaded me up and headed for the hospital. I asked if I was having a heart attack and the EMT said, yes ma'am, you do appear to be having one. Then I was really scared.

They put me on oxygen and shot me up with something, which made me feel a bit better but made me a bit loopy. I could hear them talking on the radio to the hospital, reading off figures and the EMT said, "We're coming in hot."

The funny thing was....the male EMT was the best-looking piece of beefcake I had seen in a long long time. I just blurted out, "YOU'RE GORGEOUS!" He kind of blushed and said, that's the medicine working. I told him, no, if I do die, at least I'll die looking at you. Everybody started laughing.

Got to the hospital, had a team ready, they loaded me up with some more stuff and by then, I was feeling a lot better. Blood pressure was very low still, though.

So, I spent the rest of Monday and Tuesday getting tested. All kinds of tests. Results of the tests? They don't know what happened, but no damage was done to my heart. In fact, except for one valve that's a bit weak, my heart is in good shape for my age.

Late Tuesday, I was begging to go home. At that time, the only thing keeping me there was a 24-hour urine collection and I convinced them I could do that very well at home and bring it back this morning, which I did at 7 a.m. I was sooo glad to get home. It's a great hospital and the personnel were really really nice but I DON'T LIKE HOSPITALS! I had a nice private room and the bed was very comfortable and once they let me eat, the food wasn't bad at all, but I wanted desperately to come home. They were full on the floor, too, and I'm sure they could use my bed.

I'm scheduled for some more tests out-patient but so far, they have no idea of what happened to me.

I've never had a panic attack and I asked them if it could have been one, but they said no.

The body is a strange thing, no? I'm feeling quite well today, but a little shaky. Understandable.
 
@jujube Oh. Em. Gee. Whatever on earth???

I hope that if I ever get carted away in the Meat Wagon, I get EMTs that are all buff and studly. If I assume room temperature while in the Meat Wagon, I'll die happy. If I don't assume room temperature while in the Meat Wagon, I'll be happy to recover with those memories ;)
 
@jujube That sounds so scary, good that you were admitted to the hospital. Maybe the good looking guy helped a little but I am happy you are recovering.

You know when my husband went to the hospital, the emergency people had a good looking guy, too, who was giving me comfort and suggestions.

Please do as the doctors tell you and I will keep you in my thoughts to get well, too.
 
Good morning to everyone. It is another really hot day, heat index at 110. Rain is expected this afternoon but not a very high chance.

Take care of yourselves, everyone. Have a good day wherever you live. :)

Oh my gosh! That is sooo scary! I'm sorry that happened to you! It sure sounds like an allergic reaction. Please keep us updated jujube. 💐

Wow. That was frightening, So glad you are OK. Maybe an internet search could help. Surely someone, somewhere has has a similar experience. Could it be heat related?
