Gloomy Again!

Yesterday I was horrified when I saw snow, but it didn't stay on the ground, so I was okay with that.  But last night I read my cousins Caringbridge post, and he wrote about the beauty and wonder of it all.  I had to think back to see what he was describing, and sure enough God is Good, and it was amazing and beautiful like he said.  So even though I headed this "Gloomy Again" if you look for it.....there is beauty and wonder. The contrast of the dark green lawn that the rain has brought, and the bright yellow leaves laying on the green.....the wind blowing and swirling the leaves in a dance, gracefully and energetically flying across the sky. See?  it makes you feel so much better.
I woke at 7 a.m. as usual and took my pills and went to the couch, and fell back to a sound sleep, waking again at 8:20....almost startled that I had slept so hard.  Usually I drift in and out, listening to the TV and just generally resting....but not today.  I have to pack, go to Jimbo's Halloween party...so get dressed in my witches costume...but first I have to  find it.  I may throw in a load of wash as I have to go to the basement anyway to get the costume.  I was supposed to go shopping with Rosie, but decided I didn't need to buy anything today, it could wait till next week, and I didn't want to cram too much into my day.
Yesterday I needed to go to the post office to get stamps, and Walgreen's to get more candy for the trick or tr-eaters  cause I had eaten the whole bag of snickers, and I needed some non-chocolate for Will as he is allergic to dairy.  I also wanted some treats for the train trip, I probably over did that.  I had asked for a volunteer, and Patti Tkach was the first of 5 volunteers.  We did a little visiting while driving, and totally distracted Patti.  We had to make a few U turns, and a few illegal moves, but we got there and back without killing anybody.  lol  It was a fun little trip....and Patti went on to do some errands of her own.
I finished packing my backpack with the treats and stuff to do on the train. (My Nook, Ipod, and some puzzle sheets I tore out of the Herald)
I think this new BP med is making me tired.  It was really low this morning 96/59  I think I'll call and talk to the nurse about that.  They wanted it down, but I think this is lower than need be. Yesterday I could hardly keep my eyes open while writing the blog, and then I slept so sound from 7-8:20 a.m.this morning, then taking my BP right after that it was so low.  Maybe I should take it now that I've been up awhile.  Other than that I'm feeling fine and excited about my trip.  I think I will write my blog this evening, and post it in the morning, as I will be on the train by 7:55.  Which mean an early rise and off I go.
Love and Prayers, m
