Hi My Lot, I have missed being on here more so. Where does time go? A couple of weeks ago my dad was in the hospital again for a few days. High potassium. As it turns out high potassium is very dangerous indeed. Who'd of thought? Well they got it under control and he came back home. As stressful as these things are - mom and myself got to visit and that was nice. Each time this happens it seems like it takes up more and more of my energy. Seems like I can't fully re-charge even if I sleep plenty. Then, right as I started recharging from all that stress, came my "busy" week in June. Sunday being dad's day. I think my dad had a nice day. We went to a good restaurant, did some tie-dye t-shirts. The small town I live in hosts Fun Days - a town carnival. City wide garage sales, a fair with carnival games and rides and food, glorious junk food, street dance, etc. My parents come for the parade, one of the largest parades in this area. That was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... and I wanted to spend plenty of time at it. Not that I ride rides - but there is something special about fairs. They transform a small town into something different and exciting, and you never know who or what you might see. There's some surreal about it all and several nights I just sat on the benches and watched the lights from the rides in the night sky. And I was busy practicing a new dance routine with my S Staves for the annual Lemonade Fair - held at the campus of the local university. It's a huge event and my dance troupe performs multiple times during the day. That was yesterday, and it went well, beautiful event, beautiful day for it, one of our friends, another dance troupe - came by to help us fill up time performing. It was truly special. So, that is where I have been, I've been thinking about checking up on all of you and reading your posts seeing how you've been and catching up. Hope to be on here more regularly now :-) Photo: Pixabay

Wow! Awesome...you have very beautiful quality of expressing yourself dear friend! That carnival part really taken me to the time when I used to enjoy them...I used to love carnivals so much after I grew up I have attended few Carnivals along with my Partner Johny to perform some shows of Ventriloquism there! Thanks a lot...your June edition was simply great!

I didn´t know about the potassium excess. I thought only sodium was dangerous.

@FayeHazel Things change. Decades ago, we did not know that smoking was dangerous.

@marguicha Quite true, back in the 50s here smoking was actually promoted as being good for your health

Oh yeah, apparently too much, or too little potassium is bad.... who'd have thought...

Does your Dad have issues with his kidneys? I read that can contribute to high potassium. How was it treated? I guess any imbalance in your system can be dangerous. Fairs are a lot of fun. I used to go to an Italian Festival every year with rides and great food. The atmosphere is so exhilarating! I enjoy just walking around and taking everything in....

Oh good question! I will mention that kidney issue. I think they determined it was because of a medicine he was on. That Italian fest sounds super! I love the electric atmosphere, like you say. Will you go this year?

@FayeHazel There is another one in a neighboring town with all kinds of rides and food trucks I will be going to over this weekend. Haven't been to the Italian one in a few years so probably not.

Sorry to hear about your dad, but at least he is better. An otherwise productive month for you it seems even if you were not here. I wondered where you wandered off to.
