#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
☀️ I felt dizzy this last Wednesday and fell, losing consciousness but after a check up, no major injury was found. 🙌
☀️I bought some new books
☀️I acquired 3 free amazing books
☀️Spent few days with a friend and daughter. We went to the movies
☀️#StaycationInTime2025 unboxing 😍

Thank you @LiseWorks for tagging me 🥰

Gissy @Deblovestoread @TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Thank You🥰❤️❤️❤️ 16h
LiseWorks Oh no, did they tell you why you were dizzy in the first place? I'm glad there were no injuries 15h
Gissy @LiseWorks A syncope but the tests came ok even the CT in the emergency room they discarded anything cardiac or neurological. I have to send everything to my cardiologist just in case because I was supposed to have my stress test next month. I don‘t know if he wants to do it sooner. In my opinion maybe could be a couple of reasons: dehydration, I started to do exercises and the day before it was hot, I was tired and I admit didn‘t eat well⬇️ 13h
Gissy (Cont.) They said maybe I woke up too fast from bed🤷🏽‍♀️there is a name but forgot it😂I used to get dizzy even when I swim. I‘m still not a 💯% well. The bump in my forehead is still remembering me is there, it hurts a little bit. I‘m drinking a lot of water, trying to rest which is not easy with a daughter with diverse dysfunction. Maybe was also the presence of stress but I work pretty well with stress I use techniques but you never know. 13h
LiseWorks Oh dear! Well, drink lots of water 💧 I hope tests are good. 13h
Amiable The getting up too quickly in bed —did they say it might be positional vertigo? I have that —it can be horrible. 😖 Take care of yourself as best as you can! 🩵 12h
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh no!! Take care ❤️‍🩹 11h
DaveGreen7777 Oh, no! Hope you feel much better soon and have no more dizziness! 8h
dabbe Do you think you might have vertigo? I have it, and dizziness is the classic symptom. I've had to train myself to move the head slowly no matter what the activity. Rest, hydrate, and relax! Hope you feel better soon. 💙🩵💙 6h
AmyG Oh wow, glad to read you are ok. Dehydration can be a huge issue where I live-high altitude. I fainted once from it and luckily was ok. Hope you remain well. 17m

Taking some liberties with the syllable pattern today.

Today's compliment:
"I'm not embarrassed by
anything you wear, Mom."

High praise from my almost-16-year-old.

Women Holding Things | Maira Kalman

Pickpick

Soft pick - 3/5
This book contains mostly paintings of women holding things. Some of the text is purely descriptive, used to describe the paintings. But some poetry can also be found, always in relation to the paintings and to the concept of “holding things.“
Like all art and poetry books, some pieces are more appealing than others, or are resonating more than others with me. Hence the soft pick.

This book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.

CarolynM I loved this one ❤️ It‘s too sad she died so young. 4d

Summer reading book haul! 🤗📚

I read some, then skimmed some and then read the ending, and I do think Alderton did something really interesting here, but I just couldn't force myself through the incredibly depressing part to read the book as a whole.

Also, as with another book I read that was set right before lockdown, I found myself worrying about how the characters would manage with this horrible new challenge in front of them. Why do authors do this?!

I know this isn‘t actually a scientifically researched and data backed theory and that it is a borrowed concept, but I really enjoyed this book and found the reframing of some of my problems to be quite helpful.

@DebinHawaii #5JoysFriday
Made some lime lattice cookies
My eldest went to her 6th form leavers party
Sunflowers are growing one is nearly 6ft
Pretty blue flowers
And first early raspberry.
Play along all.

AmyG She looks lovely! ❤️ 1w
dabbe 💙🩵💙 1w
kezzlou85 @AmyG thanks. She's not a girly girl but really likes this dress. 1w
AmyG Love the dress with the boots. ❤️ (I am not a girly girl either) 1w
kezzlou85 @AmyG I think it works better that way and shows her personality more. To her high school prom she had a pink bow tie and jacket with trousers and it was just so her. She looked amazing then too. 1w
