May 1st

So it has been a long week so far. Savannah had the flu last week and once again gave it to mom. So needless to say I have been down and out yet again with the flu stuff. In fact, because of dehydration I even got a one night stay at the hospital. Turns out if you get too dehydrated then your muscles start contracting. Not a good thing during pregnancy. I have also been having horrible backaches. I have even more sympathy for those of you with chronic back problems. Let me tell you though, Tylenol PM works wonders for me. I was trying regular Tylenol and not having much relief, but I took the PM version and slept ten hours, and then laid on the sofa for the whole morning dozing in and out. Yeah, that was only the normal dosage for me too. Maybe I should only take half a dose tonight.

I was able to get the cantaloupe in the ground before I became sick. I hear that they will probably grow really well with the FL heat, though so far there isn't a thing to report. The beans still look strong, though I did find a leaf or two with some bites taken out of them.

Happy May you all. We aren't planning on doing a single thing for cinco de mayo, but to all those who are, have fun and stay safe.
