Sleepy

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 76 degrees, high 97 degrees, partly cloudy skies

How hot was it today? It was so hot that I didn't go for a walk. That's unusual for me, since I've been known to walk in rain, snow, wind, and yes, even high temperatures like what we're having now. I've walked in temperatures up to 117 degrees, which took place in Arizona in July. That kind of temperature is out of the ordinary, but the point is that hot weather doesn't usually keep me from walking.

A few words of clarification: Even though I'm doing much better since my recent stay in the hospital, I still have an occasional night that I have problems breathing like I should. Last night was one of the worse nights since I was released from the hospital. Every time I would lay in the bed, I would have trouble breathing. As a result, I stayed up all night, using the couch and my easy chair in an attempt to sleep. At least Carolyn was able to sleep.

Eventually, I was finally able to go to sleep about 0600 hours and slept until about 0900. I'm not sure why I was finally able to sleep then, but I hope I don't go through the same thing tonight. If I do, I'm calling the pulmonary specialist tomorrow. If I (yawn) can keep my eyes open long enough. Yawn.

Even though I didn't sleep well last night, I still managed to find enough energy to get us out into the southern part of the county on a Sunday afternoon drive through more of the beautiful horse country.

After we got home and watched some of the PGA golf tournament, I went to visit my brother Roger and his wife Willa. Carolyn was in the middle of cooking supper, so she stayed at home. Roger is still working a local job, so he has enjoyed being able to be at home for an extended period of time, instead of having to travel to work. It appears he will be working near home until the middle of the fall.

Another brother Terrell and his wife Kathy expect to be visiting here in a week or two, so we going to get together at Roger's house when they are here. It will be great to have more family here to visit, at least for a short time.

I think I'll (yawn) close for now. Sleep tight.

More later, be safe.
