~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

Hopefully the fencing will fix the critter problems in the gardens ladies, hate to see fresh produce wasted by only one or two bites taken out of them.

That must have been a scary situation for you Jude, and it makes it worse when they can't find the cause of it.

Fingers crossed that the rain stays away and we should finish up seeding in the next few days if everything goes well.

[Ginger999]

Jude, that's so scary! Did they suggest a follow up with a specialist? Take care.

Taking my friend to the airport this morning. I'll take another!

[Jude58]

Ginger, I have a follow up visit with my regular doctor on Monday, so I'll have to wait and see what he thinks. Dill, I feinted in front of all my dinner guests, talk about embarrassing! I think that I was stressed and overwhelmed while making dinner and trying to time everything so that it would be ready to eat. I think that I just need to slow down and breathe once in awhile. One of the reasons that I drank was to put a damper on the anxiety, and it worked for a little while, but afterwards I always felt worse. Dealing with problems in sobriety is much more difficult than just losing yourself in the booze, but in the end it's worth it.

24 more for all of us please...

Oh Jude, so sorry it happened at your dinner party. I completely understand the stress of coordinating a meal. I'm not really brave enough to do it anymore. I just have meals with family and do the best I can. Of course everyone feels free to pitch in as needed. Perhaps it was low blood pressure. I'm sure your doctor will review your meds with you and figure this mystery out!

Off to volunteer this morning.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[Rava]

Good morning cafe! Jude I am so sorry about your fainting. How scary in front of your guests. I am sure that was a dinner to remember. I don’t entertain because it stresses me out too much. Hopefully it was just a fluke. Keep us posted. Been busy setting up our little home. Going to hang a cabinet today. We are supposed to get beautiful weather for the next 5 days. Hope everyone has a great day! 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

I'm with the rest of you, entertaining stresses the hell out of me! So... I don't.

My friend made it back to Iowa around midnight last night. She's was a lovely, easy guest to have for a week but it's still nice to be back to our normal lifestyle!

I'll take another!

Oh Jude, so sorry it happened at your dinner party. I completely understand the stress of coordinating a meal.

This happened to my mom once and they also did the full gamut of checks and ended up pinning it on stress. I've also had panic attacks where I've felt like I was starting to black out, but never actually fully fainted. So very possible it could be that, but of course always good to get it all checked out. I always try to remember as well, that no matter the situation no stress or anxiety is worth affecting your health over.

P.S. We've sure had some bipolar weather recently, completely sopped in rainy and cold earlier in the week (might as well have been January), and now a couple of absolutely gorgeous days, with nice moderate temps (16-17C) where it's actually enjoyable to be out in the sun. Not gonna last, but have to take the good days where you can.

[Jude58]

Yesterday my anxiety was once again through the roof and my blood pressure was high. I finally ended up taking a "mellow out" pill that my Dr. had prescribed awhile ago. One didn't cut it so I took another one and it did the trick. I woke up this morning and the anxiety is gone. What a relief! Hopefully it will stay away...

24 more please...

[abcowboy]

We got rained out late yesterday morning so I decided to come back to Veg and spend the evening with Bubba. Will head back out when I get the call that it's dry enough to get going again, probably sometime around lunch.

It's a good thing that the Doc gave you something for your anxiety Jude, better to "mellow out" a bit rather than be on edge all the time.

Enjoy fixing up your little house Rava, and the great weather you'll be having.

Glad your friend made it home safe and sound Ginger and that the visit was an enjoyable one.

[abcowboy]

to Mr. & Mrs. Ginger!

[dill]

Happy Anniversary, Ginger!

Jude, I'm glad you had some medication on hand to help with the stress. Anxiety is an awful feeling. I hope you can get your anxiety levels under control.

Beautiful weather today. It's been a really wet period here and we haven't been able to get the hay in. And rain is forecast for the next several days, as well. It's frustrating. Cowboy, it's nice you got to spend some time with Bubba, but I hope your weather clears up.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

I'll take another!!

[Jude58]

Happy anniversary to you and Mr. G ginger!

Looks like good weather to finish planting the garden today. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow, so we'll have to get all of the outdoor chores done today.

24 more please...
