I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I had a weird day yesterday. In the morning, I got really lightheaded before church. I took my blood pressure, and it was a little high. After I took my blood pressure medication, I took it again, and it had gone down a little. I questioned as to whether I should go to church or not, but at that point I felt ok, and it was a beautiful Fall day, and I didn't want to stay in all day. Well, at church, the feeling came back but (thank God) no where near what it had been earlier. The rest of the afternoon was downright scary. The feeling came back full force around around 2:00. I took my blood pressure again, and it was 204 over 89. Oh my gosh... wayyyyyy too high. I took my afternoon pill, and it went down but not far enough to be normal. The lightheadedness continued on and off all day. When Karol was here meeting the dogs, we were at the back door, and she had to catch me before I fell. Gotta tell ya folks.. this is not fun.

I've got a call in to the doctor, and I'm hoping he calls soon. My head feels a little fuzzy this morning but nothing like yesterday. I'm wondering if maybe I have an inner ear problem too, and maybe the blood pressure isn't the entire problem. I don't know. All I know is that this has to stop.

Ok.. enough of my junk.
Karol came over yesterday and loved the puppers, and they loved her too. Mike sat right up against her foot, and Miss Gidget stayed as close as she could to her on the couch. Karol really loves animals, and it shows. I know when I go to visit my son, my babies will be in good and loving hands.

Mike is doing ok. He still has his problems, but my boy is doing the best he can with the situation he's in. He's such a sweetheart. I have to say though, he's been a bit confused the last couple of nights because we've slept in the living room instead of the bedroom. The furnace went out Friday night, and Chuck wanted to wait until today to call the repair guy (weekend rates ya know)... anyway.. it wasn't too bad. I have a heater that I use in the bedroom during the winter, because it gets really cold in there, and I put it in the living room the last couple of nights. Gidget sleeps in there, and I wanted her to stay warm too. When I said "bed time" the last couple of nights, Gidget went to her room, and Mike went to the bedroom. When I didn't go in there, he came back in here and looking at me like "I thought you said we were going to bed??"

Gidget has been really good lately. I think she's realized that cuddling could be as much fun (or almost as much) than constantly yipping. Of course the yipping hasn't stopped, but she's doing it less and less each day. However, there are still times when I need a break and tell her it's naptime.... she's really pretty good about going to her room for a nap for an hour or so. I love those quiet times.

I hope everyone has a great week. Give all the furkids hugs and belly rubs from me and nose and whisker kisses from the Westies.

Love & Blessings
