I usually always wake up early. Everyone else is still asleep. It's the peaceful time of day. The best time of day to enjoy that beautiful sunrise and thank God for letting you see another one. I don't know how to sleep in. As a teenager I did, but they've proven now that that's a normal part of growth and really not a choice.
Yesterday I wasn't feeling well and it pretty much bottomed out around 2:00 in the afternoon. Lindsey had slept in and we got a late start on hitting the yard sales; I really wasn't into going very far, I guess because I wasn't feeling good. To make a long story short I ended up with her bringing me back home and me thinking I was having a heat stroke. It was so hot by 2pm that I had to go sit down. When I got home and checked my blood pressure it was 88/57, much too low. It explained a lot.
I'm on BP medicine; reluctantly the doctor put me on a weeek ago because I seem to have so many things pointing to high pressure. When I wore the 24 hour monitor a while back I was good to go. I will call him first thing Monday; we need to talk about it. I'm not taking any pills this morning.
The bad thing is that I had so many things to do when I came home; I ended up laying in bed with my feet propped up instead of doing them. I didn't get to finish doing my Mother's Day gift. I had a wonderful idea, but now I have nothing. Great. I did get to go to church for a few minutes and check out the keyboard settings. I'm not sure I'm ready to play in church today or not. I don't have an abundance of confidence. I'm not too sure I even want to go to church at all, for that matter. I just still feel weak.
So far it's dreary outside. No sunrise today, just a lightening of the gray sky. Maybe things will look up after the sleepyheads get up. I'm sure they'll be here soon, checking on me. I guess I need to be practicing my playing while it's quiet.
Happy Mother's Day ~ enjoy the peace and quiet!
