This is my post for #freewriters Tuesday prompt blackout hosted by
I do not know what is going on at my middle daughter's home. A few months ago she sold her house and bought a bigger one since she now has 4 kids and needed a bigger home. Then about a month ago she stood up and when she did she blacked out and fell face-first into the tiled floor. She got 20-something stitches right above her right eye. The doctor said that she was dehydrated.
Now a couple of days ago her 12-year-old daughter was walking to the kitchen blacked out and fell. When she tried to get up she fell again. My daughter took her blood pressure and it was 90 over 60. She tried several times to get her to stand but she kept falling but this time she did not blackout. She called an ambulance and at the ER they told her that she was dehydrated.
This is very strange to me. She lived in the other house for 15 years and nothing like this had happened, now in just a couple of months, they both blacked out, and were taken to the hospital and told they were dehydrated.....
I felt so good today, I put my boat overboard and set 6 crab traps in the river. After setting them I tried to catch catfish so I will have bait to put in them when I run them in 2 days. I did catch 6 catfish for them. But I spent 5 hours trying to catch jacks or sailcats that I could sell, I only caught one small ladyfish. Trout opens May first, I sure hope there are some to catch.
My husband set pigfish traps but did not run them. After getting them all set, he went back and looked at the first ones that he set and only saw 2 little crabs in them. I hope if there are trout, we have bait to catch them with.
Last Christmas I told my husband that I wanted a big fishing magnet. I thought it would be fun to pull it around the river and see what I catch. I caught nothing. That seems to be the way things went today. I really wanted it because I am tired of losing my tools over the side of the boat.
Our mango tree was shading the areca palms that we grow to sell so my husband cut it back. Yesterday afternoon he was telling me about a squirrel that would run to the end of the limb on the pine tree and run back to where he came from, then back on the limb. He wanted to get to the mango and from there he could get to the mulberry tree but when he cut it he could no longer reach the mango. I came home today and he had cut a piece of bamboo and put it between the two trees so the squirrel had a bridge to cross between the trees. I know he is being nice to the squirrel but the darn thing eats all of my ripe mulberries. Oh well, that's life.
