Five minute freewrite by @myjob

This is my post for #freewriters Sunday prompt the stories we have been told hosted by @mariannewest

My Dad was full of stories, and so were the old-time fishermen. I wish I would have listened closer to the stories we have been told. These stories are forever lost. This is one of my regrets. My Mom also had stories, I can remember most of them but not all. We were supposed to go to Sebastian Inlet Museum and sit with the people there so she could tell them the history of her and Dad building the campground in the fifties. But we never got around to it and now she has suffered a major stroke and can not speak. This is another big regret. No one knows anything about my dad's father or mother, I guess because they never asked questions. She passed when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old my grandfather passed before I was born, I think in the 1930s. All we know is when they moved to Florida in the 1890's they came by ox and wagon from Georgia. They had a couple of kids with them.

All I had to do with any of these people is to sit down with a tape recorder, and I did not do it. So now I sit here typing all the regrets that I have. All I can say is if you have an elderly family member or even a friend, listen to them, take notes if you need to. They will love telling their stories and you will not have regrets.....

After feeling like crap yesterday I did nothing today. I took my blood pressure this morning and it was 147/77 {wth} I took it again this evening and it was 135/75. Yesterday it was low all day when I worked in the yard and today doing nothing it was high. I tried to sweep my floors today and I fell 3 times. I know when I get this weird feeling in my head that I am going to fall but there is nothing that I can do to stop the fall. This is all crazy.

Tomorrow we go to the eye doctor to see if he can figure out what is going on with my vision. I hope it is not a waste of money and I get answers.
