No definite cause they could come up with...

I was up about a hour when I realized something was wrong. I came downstairs dressed like a bum and asked Bruce why I was wearing those clothes...and said I didn't remember getting up. That was the start of it. I asked lots of questions over and over, so I'm told. Picked up a stack of birthday cards and asked why they were there. When DH told me I had just had a birthday, he said I asked him what month it was. We went to the neighbor's and she asked me some questions. I don't remember any of that.
We were in the car on the way to the hospital,..and I remember bits of the ride. That was about an hour and a half later...maybe. When we got to the hospital, I knew what was going on at the moment, but it would slip away. I answered all the questions, knew where I was and who was with me. Those memories have come back...sort of like stringing things together...frame by frame.
I can clearly remember the time from when I got up until I came downstairs and told DH something was wrong with me. But when I came downstairs, I didn't have that memory. A few hours later, I could tell the doctors exactly what I did that morning until I went upstairs and apparently dressed in mismatched clothes.
Maybe I'll remember, but maybe not.

We have 30% chance of rain this afternoon! I think I'll still water a little before it gets too hot to be outside. The sky is a whitish gray. I guess there's still particulates in the air from the grass fires near us. I had an e-mail from a friend in Arizona. She had seen the news about the homes in Austin that were destroyed and wondered if we were near there. She said they hadn't had rain out there in months. They were having someone come in to clear all the grasses and tumbleweed on their 5 acre property, just leaving a little grass around the trees for the quail. they already have a 20 ft fire break around the house. They hope the monsoon season comes soon.

I was looking at the trees in the green belt behind us. That thorny, weedy devil's ivy is growing all over the trees, coming up from the ground and then draping down again. If we ever had a fire back there, flames would come right over the fence following that ivy, up our trees, and over to the house. Always something....to worry about!

Amen Sandi. With the greenbelt behind us, I keep praying that some goober from the apartment complexes isn't smoking a cigarette while walking his dog down there, flipping ashes into the brush...eek.

Scary. Yeah, the armadillo got into the yard last night and dug...ugh! They do that more during the droughts.

Me too Linda! The part that bothers me is he dug into my raised beds!!!! He uncovered the roots to one of my DA roses. Grrrr. Dug up a strawberry too. :/

If you can catch your armadillos...maybe we can have races! Mine is really, really fast!

They LOVE good, amended soil, especially when it's moist! Or compost piles!

Apparently so do the dogs. Had to chase one of them out of the roses again this morning. :/

A friend took me plant shopping today in Seguin. We left at 10 and just got home. We had fun! 'But the plants were more expensive this year. I guess the freeze took it's toll. I still don't know where I'll plant what I already had, but I'll figure it all out tomorrow!

ooohhhh Sandi that sounds a lot more fun than my day! I'd love to hitch along one of those trips in the future if I can.

We'd have to have another vehicle! The last time we took off, there were four of us and we had two cars. Today, with just two....we filled the back of her Jeep and the entire back seat and floor. It becomes a feeding frenzy. One finds something and the others have to have it too.
Don't forget the mtg at The Great Outdoors next week. Starts at 6 PM with a light meal provided....

My last class on Thursday lets out at 5:30 off Metric. I'll try to get there as soon as I can!!!

As far as road trips, my car can seat 7 somewhat uncomfortably so I could drive too....

Program doesn't start until 7, so you'll be fine. Last time we were there, they talked about how they go to different venues and plant shows looking for new plants, showed us some of the new hot plants, then offered 'em to us as door prizes!

One of the "road trips" we went on was to Houston area nursery early one morning. Stopped in Columbus for dinner on the way home. Talking, yakking, we missed the cut off to Austin from I10 and had to take the Seguin one further down the road, backtrack from San Marcos to Austin, and got home after 9PM! I wasn't the driver! I was the "back seat driver" who tried to alert driver, who was sure we were just fine. And we were....just took a new route home~

Oh the scenic drive! Those are always fun. I take those on the way home sometimes. lol

Yes, but overprotective DH was increasingly worried as the evening progressed! 'Even tho I called to tell him we were delayed...I guess he figured we'd be gobbled up by the highway monster...!

With DH doing training bicycle rides on Parmer and 360 frequently, he has no ground to be mad at me for running late!

We're taking our car in Monday to be repaired. The insurance co. approved the dealer estimate! Will be nice to get it back looking nice, but they said it will take 4 or 5 days. That seems really excessive, but what can you do!

Glad to hear Linda! That does seem like an awfully long time to get it fixed. Do you get a loaner at least?

Yep...you need to ask other insurance co. for a rental. We didn't and my friends kept asking why not?
