Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Yesterday morning I phoned my doctor and got in. He said it sounded like my blood pressure dropped, made worse being strapped into an airplane seat unable to lay down. He sent me for blood work just to make sure. Feeling better except for the usual jet lag now.

That is a scary experience! Glad you are feeling better! and good idea to have yourself checked by your doctor!
Welcome home!

I am so bored right now. Dh is at his university’s graduation, B has been in her room most of the day, there is nothing on TV, and it is pouring rain outside.

Any movies you can stream? I like to go to my Amazon prime and check out the free stuff to watch! You need rest- so maybe a nap with your kitty?

I am debating on what to wear for B’s graduation. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to one. Do people usually dress up or not? I may use this as an excuse to buy something new anyway.

I think business casual works anywhere now. Casual pants, capris, or a skirt would work. But, why not use this as an excuse to get something new!

Packing up the van with stuff from our basement to sell- and off to get a bite to eat and to the storage unit! Not a very exciting Saturday night!

Take care all!!

Charade when my boys graduated from high school, most of the parents dressed causal

Been years ago so don’t know how casual or fancy dress will be for those attending

I’m sure others in this thread have had it will be going to high school graduations this month

Lynne has a daughter that is graduating
Hope she can share here dress attire thoughts

Hope you have started to feel better now

 

[macraven]

Just saw pattyw gave the answer
about attire for hs graduation

Go with her advice

 

[Charade67]

DH says at the university graduation he’s seen everything from shorts and flip flops to a 3 piece suit. I think I will go for somewhere in the middle.

 

[Monykalyn]

Lazy day here. Didn't even get out of PJ's until afternoon-cold rainy and grey most of day. Sun peeking out now as it is getting ready to set.
Charade-kinda the same here-bored but watched Cardinal game and Blues hockey about to start. DH just left to get pizza.
Sue-welcome home and glad you are ok! Hope nothing comes from the tests (and for Charade's tests too)
Patty-I need you to motivate me to clean out our stuff-been in this house 10 years now-double the length of time we have ever stayed in a house - moving every 3-5 years required us to purge.
Graduation weekend around here. This time next year will have 2 graduations. Hit me last night as was talking to son (who is suddenly looking me in eyes-he shot up 3 inches in a month I think) that it will just be him left at home in just over a year...his response was "but then I will be stuck doing ALL the chores" LOL. Oldest is coming home in a week for ~week before she flies off to New Mexico for the summer (with field trip to Alaska).

Remembered to send stuff to Dh mom, oldest dtr in florida, and my mom but forgot his stepmom Not on purpose-meant to remind him to call his sister to see what she is doing and just send her money to add our names...

Dinner and some fun with little one tonight. Rain on and off, but still not that cold. When the rain came, temps dropped 10 degrees.

Now chilling and seeing what there is to watch on the TV.

Hoping the rain holds off, little one and I are going to the zoo first thing in the morning. I will be in my jacket, saying with the rainy day, 50. Sigh.

Hey, at least it is a Saturday night, not Sunday one.

And so scary, Sue. I am glad you are okay. Blood pressure is not to be messed with. Happy you and daughter had a fun time at Universal.

Yep, Charade, most of the crowd at older one’s graduation was in casual attire. Some, like me, were in business clothes, as was coming home late from work, and did not feel like changing.

 

[Sue M]

I am so bored right now. Dh is at his university’s graduation, B has been in her room most of the day, there is nothing on TV, and it is pouring rain outside.



Thanks Patty. I’ve done a little light housecleaning and some laundry today, but mostly just sitting around doing noting. I remember cleaning out a storage unit a few years ago. We found VHS tapes from when B was a toddler.

Glad to hear that you had an enjoyable trip but, holy cow!, that sounds terrifying. Glad you are feeling better now.

I am debating on what to wear for B’s graduation. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to one. Do people usually dress up or not? I may use this as an excuse to buy something new anyway.

Thanks. Feeling better now.
When I attended both daughters high school grads I just wore smart casual. A nice pair of slacks, blouse, and light jacket or sweater.
Rainy days really sap the motivation to get anything done out of me!

That is truly a very scary thing you had on the plane

Glad you had your daughter with you!

Blood pressure can cause a lot of issues
Your lab work will hopefully show if anything is off

With a bit of more rest, jet lag
will disappear

You do have a lengthy flight when you go to Orlando
And a time difference

Enjoy the family that is visiting you

All your food sounds delish!

And, welcome back home ...

Thanks. I guess I should be happy it was low blood pressure and not high! But it was scary. And so glad daughter was there, it would have been horrifying having a total stranger sitting next to me.
Yes, 6.5 hr flight and 3 hr time change always takes me a few days to recover. Quicker to recover going home, but flying east seems to take longer to adjust. Getting up at 7:00 for park opening is like getting up at 4am. Ugh. Glad I had a week in Ft Lauderdale first to adjust to EST.

Dinner was fun. We dined outside in the patio. Warm evening, had capris and sleeveless top on. The wisteria is in full bloom. Universal daughter came for dinner. And since she’s had 17 days with me lol, won’t be over tomorrow for Mother’s Day. But she’s signed us up for a Disney Trivia Night Wednesday at a local pub. We’re trying to come up with a Team name the 3 of us can agree on!
Getting together tomorrow for breakfast with the cousins.

 

[Sue M]

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I have had low blood pressure bouts before but just the usual dizzy spell if I’ve gotten up to quick. And I just lay back down till it passes. Apparently symptoms got so bad because being strapped into an airplane seat and unable to lay down made it a lot worse. But I’m feeling better now. Just jet lagged.

Monykalyn yes, you should post chick videos! They sound so funny.

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Our oldest boy has graduation today, Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mother’s!!!

What you do is so great!!!

Have a fantastic day, you deserve it!!!

 

[Realfoodfans]

Good afternoon everyone, I’m ba-ack lol! Wonderful trip, daughter had a blast. Loved RPH. Finally got to try Mythos, something that’s been on my radar but never gotten around to. We both had the Fork and Spoon Grilled Cheese with pork belly in tomato soup. Really liked it.
I’m so glad I bought the photo package when they offered the Mardi Gras 1 yr AP special. We got a lot of fun photos.

Still tired from time change. We landed @12:30am Friday. Had a bit of a rough flight, left Thursday evening. On the MCO to SeaTac segment I dozed off, woke up dripping in sweat, dizzy, nauseous, vision blacked out and I was incoherent for awhile. Sure glad my daughter was with me. She buzzed flight attendant who gave me cold compress and gingerale. After 15min or so I started coming around.

Yesterday morning I phoned my doctor and got in. He said it sounded like my blood pressure dropped, made worse being strapped into an airplane seat unable to lay down. He sent me for blood work just to make sure. Feeling better except for the usual jet lag now.

My husbands cousin and partner are in town from Nova Scotia, staying at brother-in-law’s. We went out for Chinese food yesterday, today we’re hosting a bbq. Dry rub ribs, roasted nugget potatoes, and 2 salads.

I suffer with low blood pressure these days - have passed out twice but mostly symptoms as you described. I keep very well hydrated and now add salt (pink Himalayan) to meals. Only other advice is to do leg exercises when on flights and when getting up to take my time.
I had it under control but recently back to doctor as happening when I’d sat down. Advised it’s because I’m in heightened anxiety and my adrenaline high then I sit down, calm down, relax and adrenaline plummets causing symptoms.
I hope you get sorted - I’m
really not wanting medication so trying to deal with it.

Morning everyone - was absolutely beautiful here at 7am but clouding up again now.
First day in 2 weeks since Mum was admitted I am planning not to visit which feels very tough. She told me yesterday I hadn’t been for days though so I don’t think she will realise. I have organised two sets of visitors today and if my son and DIL feel there’s a problem later I will dive over there. It’s only about 35 minutes away if needed.
So much to sort out at home and I want to spend time later with the grandchildren and my daughter who is missing our support. If it stays dry DH wants to cut the grass there as it’s a large plot of land.
Prom and graduation pictures will be appreciated please! In starting our clear out I’ve been finding loads of old pictures and reminiscing - nothing better than actual photos not just on screen that disappear as technology changes.
Peaceful Sunday all.

Good morning

Just popping in before work to wish all you mom's a happy mother's day.

It's going to be a rainy commute this morning...hopefully it will clear up later on or it will be a boring day in the garden center. Of course we will get the last minute shoppers looking for a mom's day gift.

Sue, glad you're feeling better after the scare on the plane.

Hope all the homies who are under the weather feel better soon.

Hi to mac, Carole, patty, Lynne, Robo, Charade, Bobbie, monyk, real, and keisha wherever she is and anyone else who is reading along

Have a fantastic day

 

[Lynne G]

5:30, ah, that’s rain. Back to rest. Watching clock to around 6, then decided time to get up. House feels cool, with all the early morning rain. Roads sound wet.

Time for tea, long sleeve shirt and long pants on, and throw on my legs. Hoping the rain does hold off while we stroll around the zoo.

Have a beautiful Mother’s Day!

Sorry you have to work today,Tink. Hope work goes quick, and you get to relax with a glass of wine sooner than later.

Ack, the neighbor’s chickens must be out.

Later homies. More tea, please. Yep, a perfect morning.

Morning Sans family

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Sans family Mother’s and Wives.

 

[macraven]

I’m a loss in posting pictures
Completely an idiot with using an iPhone

Can always count on Robo and others to share special days with us through pictures

Thanks!

Add me to the club here of low bp
Medicine helps and would be lost without it

Have a fantastic Mother’s Day!
Enjoy your day.

 

[ckmiles]

Good Morning!

Quick stop by to wish all Mom's a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all enjoy your day!

Im off to pack.. 1 sleep to go!

 

[Lynne G]

Little one caught me as trying to zip up. Rainy and cool feeling at the zoo.

Cute little baby up there.

We had fun, now enjoying matzo ball soup, some sour pickles and omelette. Brunch with little one. Happy.

Hello everyone. Rainy mother’s day here. I didn’t get much sleep last night, so I see a nap in my future.

Lazy day here. Didn't even get out of PJ's until afternoon-cold rainy and grey most of day. Sun peeking out now as it is getting ready to set.

Sounds like my day yesterday.

Hit me last night as was talking to son (who is suddenly looking me in eyes-he shot up 3 inches in a month I think) that it will just be him left at home in just over a year...his response was "but then I will be stuck doing ALL the chores" LOL.

This is B’s world everyday since she is an only child. I think she will be glad to live in the dorms next year.

Yep, Charade, most of the crowd at older one’s graduation was in casual attire. Some, like me, were in business clothes, as was coming home late from work, and did not feel like changing

When I attended both daughters high school grads I just wore smart casual. A nice pair of slacks, blouse, and light jacket or sweater.

B’s graduation will be at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. I think smart casual will be the way to go. I’m thinking of buying a new pair of casual/dress pants and a nice blouse. I only own one dress.

Morning everyone - was absolutely beautiful here at 7am but clouding up again now.

Continued prayers for your mom and I hope you are able to get some time for yourself.

hopefully it will clear up later on or it will be a boring day in the garden center. Of course we will get the last minute shoppers looking for a mom's day gift.

Wishing you a slow day at work today. I think B is going to be among those last minute shoppers. She asked me to take her to the mall Friday night, but whatever she was looking for she couldn’t find. I told dh that if she asked him about a gift that I would be happy with an iTunes gift card.

I’m with you. Posting on a phone is a pain.

Im off to pack.. 1 sleep to go!

Have a great trip.

We are of to get some lunch. I’m trying to think of someplace that won’t be super crowded with all the mother’s day And post graduation crowds.

DH says at the university graduation he’s seen everything from shorts and flip flops to a 3 piece suit. I think I will go for somewhere in the middle.

Sounds like a good plan!

.his response was "but then I will be stuck doing ALL the chores" LOL.

Yep- but tell him he'll get ALL of the attention, too!!

Dinner was fun. We dined outside in the patio.

Sounds great! So cool here- we can't sit outside!

Our oldest boy has graduation today,

Congratulations!

So much to sort out at home and I want to spend time later with the grandchildren and my daughter who is missing our support. If it stays dry DH wants to cut the grass there as it’s a large plot of land.

Enjoy your day with DD and the grands!

Just popping in before work to wish all you mom's a happy mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day, Tink! Kick up your feet after work and relax!

Time for tea, long sleeve shirt and long pants on, and throw on my legs. Hoping the rain does hold off while we stroll around the zoo.

Have fun at the zoo!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Sans family Mother’s and Wives.

Happy Mother's Day, Robo!

Have a fantastic Mother’s Day!
Enjoy your day.

Happy Mom's Day, Mac!

Im off to pack.. 1 sleep to go!

Have a great trip!

Little one caught me as trying to zip up. Rainy and cool feeling at the zoo.

Nice that they gave out roses! Happy Mom's Day! Cute baby monkey!
