Yesterday was a day of weather swings, down to thirties overnight, house cold enough in the morning to switch on the fireplace heater for an hour and dress in sweater and jacket.
Then it got warmer, and I didn't keep up, even making chicken soup in the morning and having some for lunch! resulting in an afternoon of not being well, and so weak I literally couldn't move at all for a while, before realizing I was probably overheated and dehydrated.
I made it to lying down after a few minutes. Can't mess with that. So, once I could move again and felt a bit more capable, I changed to lighter clothes, drank water and started to feel much better. This has happened a couple of times over the years, usually stress or, as probably now, dehydration. Not too smart on my part. I did little other than rest after that, not even knitting, nor stitching.
Before all that, the water meter man had called, replaced the old meter, new statewide mandate, with a smart meter that reads remotely.
That went smoothly, so something around here's smart! The humans are having a job keeping up.
Gary stopped in later, wanting me to help him plant bulbs, but we put it off to today, figuring that might work better, and another warm day, for which I'll dress lighter, is forecast. Helping him means I suggest places and why, point, and he digs. Easy gardening for me.
He also wanted to know about the meter man, and I could tell he hasn't been checking the mail, to find all the postcards explaining how to get it done, through a company the water utility hired.
Later today the misfits box arrives. Meters, misfits, pause for resting, it's all go around here..more or less. A bit of a contrast with the globe trotting accounts I'm following in blog land!
Happy day everyone, knit on! In whatever form that takes for you.
