Got a doctors appointment this morning. We're trying to get straight what if any medications I need to be taking and find out what's going on with my blood pressure. Judging from my blood work I am not diabetic and my cholesterol is normal. My last doctor had me on crestor, fenofibrate and metformin. Well I lost 50 lbs and my doctor fired me. A new doctor took me off of the medications and put me on lisiniprol for high blood pressure. New year and a new doctor. The new doctor wants to start over and lets see what's going on. So.
I've got a blood pressure unit that sends my readings to a nurse. Not good when they text you right after the reading.
Before reading the news 140 over 66. After reading the news 178 over 80. I need to be on sedatives I think.

I'm lucky...other than just breaking down physically/DDD all of my shit is mental :) I've been fortunate enough to only take the drugs that fuck you up...although I think I may have hit my lifetime allotment because as I age it is getting harder to find good drugs. Ah to be 15 again...

Good mornin.' I knew it was Monday! Woke up at 2:30 this morning because it was over 80 degrees in the house. AC on the blink. Had a little mini panic because I have a dehumidifier running in the bathroom with plants in the closet in there with an AC vent jerry rigged to pipe in the cold air. It was 91° in the bathroom but fortunately only 81° in the closet. The AC is in the attic so I was in the attic vacuuming buckets of water out of the drain pan at 2:30 in the AM. Already got a little exercise this morning. That's the bright side.

I believe I've been waking with headaches because I've been overusing nasal rinse. No headache when I awoke (except for the AC issue) so that was great news. No brain tumor for the hypochondriac but I couldn't immediately remember the term hypochondriac so now I can't sleep because I think I might have the onset of dementia which might be caused by lack of sleep.o_O

Long story. I went back to bed and not only got some sleep but got REM sleep. I dreamt I woke up and saw a lump of blankets in my living room. When I lifted the blanket I startled an old sleeping woman. How did she get in my house? She seemed as startled and surprised as I was. Thought I'd better get her help. But first I need to take out the garbage before the garbage truck arrived so I opened the garage door to find portalets in my driveway and across the parking lot. A man was setting up a TV camera aimed in the direction of the portalets across the parking lot. I wanted to ask him what was going on but he started walking away and I needed to check on the crazy lady. When I go back inside, the old crazy woman is still there and also there's an old friend from 40 years ago stirring a cup of coffee. I asked him what he's doing in my house, and he just gives me a little smile and doesn't answer, then turns around and walks upstairs. I follow him upstairs demanding to know what's going on. He gives me the same smile so I think I'll teach this fucker a lesson and I grab him by the collar and start dragging him down the oak staircase knowing that he's going to feel the pain. But when I get to the landing my hand is empty and he's not there. How'd that happen? How'd I lose my grip? Back upstairs I go with even more anger but instead of meeting my old friend I encounter a 7' 6" giant. Annoyed I ask him what he's doing in my house. He gives me the same smile as my old now rude friend. Did my friend transform into a giant? I thought about fighting the giant for a brief moment but decided that wasn't too wise. I was half annoyed and angry but also half bemused from the absurdity. I'm thinking this is the craziest Monday ever. At that point I realized I was dreaming which gave me a chuckle, so a happy ending. Nevertheless, I checked to make sure there were no portalets or cameras in my driveway.
