Yesterday I woke up with this monsoon of a headache
(don't ask me to explain my analogies).
And nothing helped it. It wasn't like a migraine
or that would have been a whole different type of story.
It would probably be in all caps. And red letters.
But it was just a headache. Somewhere in the middle
of the day, an old childhood friend of mine told me
that she hoped it wasn't my blood pressure going up again,
making me have the headache.

Oh. Yeah. Blood pressure.

I had forgotten all about that.

So I checked it.
And it was high. I don't want to tell you how high
because I don't want you
writing things to me in all caps or red letters.
Just know that it was higher than it should be.

So those pills that I am supposed to be taking.....I got them
out again and put them in that little daily pill box thing
and I started taking them yesterday. And of course
my BP is down to a more reasonable number.
The headache is gone. I guess I am going to have to take
these things for a while. At least until I get to a place in
my life where I can get into an exercising routine again
(if I can even remember how to do that)
and shed some pounds.

Some one I know is wanting to sell their Nordic-track
elliptical machine. Ever had one of those?
And if you did, did you like it?
Did you use it?
Did you lose 40 lbs in 10 days?
Did you hang your clothes on it and
sell it in a yard sale?
Would a used piece of exercise equipment bring with it
the curse of not being used from the previous owner?

Today was a much better day.
My mom came over this afternoon and ended up taking
the 3 big kids with her for a couple of hours.
That was nice.
I left the house with just Baby J.
"I left the house" being the most important part.
I feel like I haven't done much of that in a very long time.
So it was nice to have a few minutes and less of a posse.
And what did I do with my time?
I went to a junk store and nosed around.
Living on the edge.
That's me.
