I don't know if its being sick or the meds but I have been very thirsty so I've been drinking a lot of water and having to get up to pee frequently. Couldn't sleep well last night because I kept having to get up. I'd just get comfortable and then my bladder would scream at me.
Check your blood sugar..... along with your dizziness, blurry vision and stumbling, being very thirsty and peeing alot are all signs of high blood sugar levels.
 
Ron, I take it you have never had a Raccoon infestation? If they find that Dog Food, you will have 40 of them. You will eventually (probably quickly) end up with a rabid one, and you will have to snipe that one and hope they didn't spread it (long shot that they didn't)
No never had an infestation. We had one living in the boathouse for a while but he eventually moved on (or died).

I get wanting to help animals, but feeding them within 100 yards is not something anybody around here does... Feeding is really non existent besides Birds here, especially because of Bears.
We don't worry much about bears but we do have a cat in our drain pipe.

Sorry for these instructions, but I don't know if you were a City slicker in CA and this is all new and cool to you, which is natural, but it's not a good feeling that lasts once the Raccoons show up... That picture of Ruby's food dish signals to me a big Red flag that you haven't had that experience.
Ruby will never give up feeding the critters. She knows it's not good but what's a husband going to do? We have a camera on the feeding spot and that's how we get the pics. When an unwanted creature shows up, Ruby puts the food up on a table so only the cats can get it. It seems to work.
 
Shan, I was thinking it could be high sugar but I have been drinking a lot of water to wash away mucus and such. Could be both high sugar and from being sick.

Love the critter photos, Ron.

Took my brother to DMV to renew his license. He came out and said he failed the eye exam. His glasses broke awhile back and his vision has gotten worse. Drove him to the local eye clinic but apparently they shut down. He called several eye clinics in Alexandria and finally found one that can see him tomorrow and that takes his insurance. Appointment for 9:40am tomorrow.

Got home and cooked for Mom. I'm about to take a nap.
 
Ok Ron, I wish you the best. You're playing Russian Roulette with the Raccoons because they don't play... You will hear it happen and then you're in for a long haul getting rid of them.

That reminds me of a raccoon I knew named Rocky. He had an interesting story...

One day his woman ran off with another guy, Hit young Rocky in the eye.
Rocky didn't like that, He said, "I'm gonna get that boy."
So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon,
and Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's Bible.

Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival.
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Now, she and her man, who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe-down.
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown!"
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now, the doctor came in, stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table.
He said, "Rocky, you met your match" And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch,
and I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able!"

Now, Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival.

As far as I know, he still lives somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota.
 
Huh... Okay... I would never expect someone to write a story about a Raccoon, but if they were in South Dakota, that explains the time needed.
 
Oh... I don't know any music sang by LIMEYS! I know we didn't get rid of that Infestation completely in 1775..

I know one Monkeys song... USA USA USA!!!
 
Speaking of the Monkeys, did you know that Stephen Stills was originally considered for Peter’s spot on the show? But because of Stephen’s thin hair and bad teeth, they went with another musician, Peter Tork. Soon after, Steven Stills formed Buffalo Springfield, the forerunner of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. But what if Stills would have become a Monkey?

“if Stephen Stills had joined the Monkees in 1966, there would have been no Buffalo Springfield, no “For What It’s Worth”, no CSN(&Y), no Judy Collins pining, no new direction in harmonizing and songwriting, no development of country-rock in the way we know it today, no soft-rock stars like James Taylor or Carly Simon, no alternative country, no Flying Burrito Brothers, no Manassas... ”

The only thing I know about the Monkees is one member is alive. I know one song.

The only thing I know about the Beatles is two members are alive. I don't know any songs.

Every once in a while I read an interview with a musical act I like and they talk about who influenced them, but I skip that part because if I wanted to listen to the bands / people they are talking about, I would naturally find my way there.
 
3.6 too 3.8" of snow predicted though the overnight.

How in the world, did rounding become vacated?
 
Ashwagandha... Many many benefits, but the best in my opinion is it's an Adaptogenic.

Other Adaptogens are Acanthopanax Senticosus, Schisandra Chinensis, some Mushrooms and Panax Ginseng.
 
You telling me you never pulled over some Teens and confiscated their Dime bags of Acanthopanax Senticosus and Schisandra Chinensis?

C'mon Man!

Likely most from your jurisdiction couldn't spell them, either.
