    I have been on an adventure. I fell out of bed. Yes, a curious thing. As my head hit the floor, the angle was so precarious I was thankful my neck didn’t break. That’s what I thought as my head hit the floor. Not good. 
    Later in the day, in front of 3 people, I flat out fainted. As in, standing up one moment, on the deck the next. My head got another, “bonk”. 
    Merited me a trip, out town, in an ambulance. An hour and a half sojourn. 
    Sort of pathetic situation. No hospital rooms here. Three hours away, east, or south. And, they would have sent me! If I needed a hospital room.
    Got all my tests, and I apparently looked better, cause the doctor said I could go home. According to hospital records, grim. They are ruling out heart failure, breast cancer, and a hiatal hernia. (With a surgeon running around with a scalpel in his hind pocket, drumming up business.)
    My theory, (bit of a learning curve here, albiet, a tad late in the game.) The doctor that called the ambulance on me started, unceremoniously quizzing me on my, um, water intake. I had a hard time scrounging up a glass, the day before. That, with a tad of stress, and, I was out for the count. 
    I’m getting all sorts of tests to eliminate the dire things. But I have my suspicions, as my doctor does. We agree.  He’s doing his best to keep me alive, and, so far, pretty good. 
    Anyhow, I’m feeling pretty good. Getting my strength back. And, um, drinking at least 6 glasses of water. 
    Drink plenty of water!

    I almost feel like I need to do a, “check-in”, and reassure you dear friends, “I have not lost it”.  Well,  or lost it all. We have been in the process of the Tribe, “rehabbing”, or house, or um finishing certain aspects of it. Big huge job.
    It has been pretty well going on since January 3rd, this year. And, it has not been, “smooth sailing”. That red cedar floor downstairs now has been done twice. The first time, a less then stellar job. 
    Plus the rest of it. It was a big job, and the first crew we had up here flat out left when my husband said it needed a third coat. We had to somehow get them to do that second coat, and thought it was a big gift to us. Plus, they used one of those, cylinder sander. And, wherever he stopped, there was a dip in the floor. 
     Bottom line, it not only got a sealer coat, but four more coats of the stuff. It’s beautiful. They kept it natural, with grain still there 
    There is more like this…
    Everything was in my Zoom room. In fact, both of my Zoom rooms. I had two rooms I could use. 
    In the meantime, us and three cats were living upstairs. (We now have a bathroom, upstairs) 
    We could not go over the floor downstairs, so we used the door that eventually will be a back exit. Right now, it goes to the top of the washroom, and to a bank, about 4 feet from the top of the washroom floor. The bank.
    We used two planks to get to the bank. And, then a sketchy trail down the hill. I had to use something to make sure I did not tumble down the hill. Walking stick. 
    The floor is now cured, and we will start getting some order in this house. 
    Basically we have been living in one room, (the bed room) with a newly installed upstairs bathroom, that is functional. 
    My husband has lost his hearing aids, so he watches, very loud television. News, if you can call it that.
    No room for Zoom, until today. 
    I’ve gotten to all the meetings, and managed to prepare pretty well. (When my husband was out, doing whatever. 
    His wonderfully intelligent golden lab, (a rescue) killed on of our cat. I still can’t talk about that. 
    We are trying to get him into a, “no-kill” shelter. They will get 
    $100.00 when they take him. Yes, we are bribing! 
    I’ve been cooking outside. Let’s not talk about that either. 
    My sanity has been prayer, personal study, and the meetings. I did miss two weeks service.
    Its almost over. With the work they are doing on the house, that one was most dreadful. And, it’s all but over.  
    So, perhaps I should not have posted during this trauma. But I did. Maybe I will get my wits back now 
    Thank you for being there.❤️💜❤️
