I was mad when they changed the window to a few days - I go off grid for my birthday and don't want to drive an hour to SB, lol.)<br /><br />I hope you had a great birthday, despite all that, and with the headache!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-86458526432011049712018-06-07T06:55:31.811-05:002018-06-07T06:55:31.811-05:00How scary!

While you were telling your story I was getting worried for you. Heat exhaustion is no joke. Glad you ended up feeling better! I was actually sick the day of my birthday but wanted to get that Free Starbucks drink too so ended up getting a smoothie. Hey, If you have the Dunkin Donuts perks, they give you 30 days to redeem your free drink! Right now they have lots of new summer flavors too!Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-46495269467396719712018-06-06T07:25:19.729-05:002018-06-06T07:25:19.729-05:00This happened to me on a walk when I was about 2 m...This happened to me on a walk when I was about 2 miles from home with no one to call and pick me up, I sat on a bus bench for a long time before I could walk the shaky 2 miles home....very scary, glad you are ok!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315335252641500105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-52985159397190369942018-06-06T07:08:55.529-05:002018-06-06T07:08:55.529-05:00Hope your feeling better now.
