Rainy day

It's raining and a little stormy this morning.  Lucy is hiding and Q must be sleeping somewhere. 

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had in a long time.  Even though I was tired from the market on Saturday.  We went to church, then we both left at noon.  Terry for Ohio and me for Elkhart to meet my family at Cracker Barrel.  I felt energetic and happy.  I was even walking very well with no limp or pain.  We had a good meal and visit with each other.  Mom seemed to be having a really good day, too.  Mike got a couple of little plastic wands that flashed colored lights when you tapped them on something.  He got only one first, for Jacob-our little 4 year old great (or is it grand) nephew.  Mom liked it so well that he got one for her, too.  It was really good to see Mom enjoying herself. 

Now today is a different story.  I feel like I've been drug through a knothole backwards.  My eyes feel sort of achey or something-not quite gritty, but something like that.  They were red when I got up.  My hips and legs ache; pretty much everything is stiff and achey. 

I was feeling a little woozy Saturday morning, so didn't take my hctz (blood pressure/diuretic pill).  I didn't yesterday, either.  Took my bp this morning-99/73.  I'll keep watch of it and not take my pill until it starts to go up again.  Taking hctz when my bp is so low will dehydrate me and make me feel bad.
