(((Harmony))) Sorry it has been Terrible Tuesday for you.
The phone call came just as I was preparing for a walk. Based on my description, the tech just ordered a new mother board and will swap out once it comes in. I can keep my laptop until then. Last time this happened, it was the motherboard as well (different computer.)
I got my walk in. Met my walking friend on the way out and she had an apartment to show me for my refugees in a house along the way. We got there and it has been rented already. She learned that it was coming up for rent two weeks ago but they rent it in a day once the tenant confirmed they were leaving.
She then walked to the post office with me and back so I had company on my walk. The post office is in a pharmacy so we both took our blood pressure. I was 133/79, then 115/69 and heart rate of 112 which matched my heart rate monitor which I was wearing.
So, if it was accurate, then my heart rate was way too high on the walk over (151 at one point during an uphill but staying steady at 144.) That's why I have an appointment for an echocardiogram stress test on Friday. Not looking forward to it but am looking forward to figuring out why this happens, since 151 is 92% of my maximum heart rate which seems awfully extreme for walking up a short hill at 2.5 mph. Sitting here typing, my heart rate is 84.
After I got home I caught up on Barcelona news, then checked into the California fires. Our news has been talking about Santa Rosa and wineries in Napa Valley but when I downloaded a fire map, I see that dh's aunt and uncle are surrounded by fires and the major roads are closed near them. I checked in with his cousin and she says they are fine, just really smokey and their retirement home is being used as an evacuation shelter.
I had my dinner and watched a couple of episodes of Nashville. Then I tidied the kitchen. I just noted it is much later than I thought so I'm off to bed now, in a rush.
Ds is coming over for breakfast at 8:30. I'll have to be up and s2s by 7:45 since the stage is now set up by the bedroom windows. I'm going to try and sleep with the window open but it is windy and the ropes may be noisy as they swing back and forth.
I just caught site of the moon. It isn't a full moon but it is amazing anyway since it is HUGE and orange. A real harvest moon.
