Took my second statin dose before bed, and amazingly, I’m up now with a stable throat and stomach, and no anxiety. Could be too soon for the anxiety to kick in, but I’m pretty sure I woke up with it after my 2nd dose last month. If Tom was suddenly going to work, well, that could very well change things. So far so good, though, I’m not ready to twirl and squeal with delight and consider myself out of the woods. Gotta get to the 6th without butterflies or heart attacks.

I hot flashed in my sleep and sure enough, the racing heart was on, though Fitbit doesn’t show an HR over 100. I think there’s something about the microfiber sheets that causes me to overheat (besides perimenopause). I should be going Egyptian anytime after the 6th, though. The other Egyptian sheets are on the other bed, so that’s why I’m temporarily stuck on the micros.

Can’t believe we’re getting down into the high 50s at night in July. What’s wrong with this place? It was chilly just waiting outside for Home Depot to open yesterday so we could grab 4 long pieces of baseboards to keep the rats from going under the couch.

Also, why do stores and restaurants feel the need to blast music and make it hard to hold a conversation? I say if you’re going to force your customers to listen to music, turn it down!

We went to Mel’s super early in the morning to escape the crowds, but you’d be surprised how many people are still out and about at 4am. We like Mel’s better than Denny’s but it was absolutely freezing in there. My food and coffee barely warmed me up.

He got a ham and cheese omelet and I got a gourmet meal chock full of cholesterol. Prime rib, eggs and fries. The fries weren’t as good as Denny’s wavy steak fries, but the rest of it was absolutely delicious. Even the buttered English muffin was great.

Listening to what I hope is the last of the firecrackers. A week to celebrate July 4th is enough, though people may use up their leftover goodies to shoot off tomorrow night.

Saw the parade of decked-out golf carts go by today, including a couple of bikers and one in a motorized wheelchair. They don’t go by the house, though. You can see them from the back bedroom window turning the corner of the street a few houses down.

Started watching the series, Bones. I know it has a lot of seasons and is very popular. I don’t like it as much as Slasher and Bates Motel, but it’s still good. Even Law & Order and Criminal Minds were better.
