Wasted days and wasted nights .....

Remember that tune? If you do, you're tellin' your age or you like oldies!

If I don’t post soon, the month of July will be gone and I won’t have entered my once-a-month post! That would be a terrible shame and a huge disservice to my loyal readership! Hahahahaha!

This past weekend was the first weekend in months that we have been able to just stay at home, with no commitments, no trips, no appointments, no nothing and I was sooo looking forward to it! Just stay at home, work on a few of my ‘projects,’ get some things accomplished in a non-hurried way, rest, .... you know, just a nice productive weekend. But, lo, it was not to be. I woke up early on Saturday morning (bad sign right there!) about 8 a.m. with some bad pains in my chest. I have had these same type pains off and on for about a month or two, but they don’t last long and haven’t ever reached the “I can’t stand it anymore” stage, so I always just figure it’s “one of those things” that just comes and goes, maybe a ‘getting older’ type of thing. So Saturday morning, it was hurting pretty good (I mean, pretty bad) so I finally had to get up. You KNOW if I get up at 9 a.m. on Saturday, something is not normal. This pain would come and go, and would almost get to the real bad stage. I thought to myself, ‘if it gets any worse, I’ll have Jimmy take me to the ER, just to get checked out’ but it never quite reached that stage. But it bothered me for most of the day so I just laid around on the couch or on the bed or in the chair, didn’t have any energy to do anything. Wasted my day feeling bad. How disappointing for my Saturday plans! Late that night, I did look on the internet under women's heart attack symptoms and noticed that I had about 4 out of the 6 things that they mentioned, but by then, the pains had stopped. Maybe I should've gone to the doctor. Sunday I felt a bit better, didn’t have the same pains but was just very tired and lethargic all day. Didn’t even feel like going to church, morning or night! I did go over to see Granddaddy both days, but that was about all the energy I could muster up. Glad to say the pains haven’t come back (well, except one time yesterday morning about 8:30, one little pain hit me but it went away and didn’t come back), but sad to say I wasted my weekend laying around. Just last week I called and scheduled an appt w/ cardiologist because of these particular pains, but can't get in until August 28th. Hope I don't croak before then!

Maybe this coming weekend will be more productive! I sure hope so! I have tons of stuff that I need to do!
