External Hard Drive Repaired

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 78 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, light showers

Note the high temperature of 78 degrees. This is outstanding cool weather we're having, and Carolyn said it is expected to last another day or two. Bring it on!

Remember in yesterday's post that I wrote about all the police activity in Deland that kept us from exploring as we would have liked? A reader left a comment with a link that said the police were looking for a person wanted on a warrant that escaped from an officer that was trying to arrest him. He was finally arrested about six hours later.

Last night was a bad one for me, as I was only able to get about two hours of sleep. My breathing problems came back on me, and I wasn't able to breathe when I was lying down. I called the pulmonary specialist's office and made an appointment for the afternoon. The doctor checked me out, and said I was building up fluid again, even though I have been taking medicine for that. The doctor added another medicine, as well as increased the dosage of one that I was already taking. He said that I would probably be able to go to bed and sleep about midnight. I sure hope so. These long days and nights are hard on me. I was also sent for chest x-rays to see if something is going on that is related to the pneumonia I had about six weeks ago. I have to go back and see the doctor again in two weeks, unless I need to see him sooner.

Last week, our external hard drive died on us, with the result that we couldn't access the data on the drive. I had been looking for another power supply to see if that was the problem, but had been unsuccessful until today. I finally found a new power supply which cured the problems with the drive. Whew! I'm glad we didn't lose all that stuff, especially the genealogy information that Carolyn has worked on for so many years.

Here's hoping I sleep better tonight.

More later, be safe.
