wyld_dandelyonI was feeling closer to normal yesterday, despite getting up a little bit short on sleep to host Eurofilk when KJM had an unexpected conflict. I managed to trouble-shoot why the basement freezer drawer wouldn't go back in far enough to shut the door (a frozen pizza had fallen behind it), sing a bunch of songs in the filk, and go out to garden and pull weeds from around all of the still-too-small squash plants. Then I had some food, put away groceries, and cut stuff up to throw in the slow cooker.
And then I fell in bed and fell asleep very quickly, and stayed there (except for a call of nature, followed by drinking quite a lot of water because I felt dehydrated and doing some duolinguo) until 4 pm today. Today, all I've done is eat, put away the leftovers, and do a brief amount of gardening (there wasn't a lot of light left by the time we got outside). And now I'm ready to make a salad, eat the salad, and fall in bed again.
Well, that normal feeling was nice while it lasted!
I also got to see a note the doc left in the online access thingy saying that the stress test was normal. Not a surprise, since I read it, but good to know that there wasn't something worrying in the parts of the jargon or numbers that I don't know or don't know the "normal" values for. This is good, since it means I don't need to be careful not to stress the heart, I can exercise and try to build up my endurance. When I'm not sleeping, at least.
Despite the heat, the peas are still producing pods. This makes me happy.
In other garden news, I have just one green tomato, but the plants are growing. The cucumber plants are tiny still; the squash plants have set some male flowers (but they are still small too), I can see some bean plants starting to stretch upward, and we got the two little mulberry trees that were right next to the house moved. So, some progress there. It's so nice that plants can grow and fruit when I'm too busy or too tired to tend them!
