Wednesday

Wednesdays are "hump" days, which is probably why my husband likes them so much... no wait, that isn't what I was going to write about.

Yesterday, I was sick. I was sick because (I am pretty sure) I haven't been taking my blood pressure medicine every day. I woke up with a really bad headache. I have a lot of headaches, and usually a terrifying cocktail of Alka-seltzer & ibuprofen will take care of it. Yesterday, no. So, I decided to take my blood pressure. I'm not sure why. It was 160/112, which is not good.

I hate taking blood pressure medicine, and really hope that through healthy eating, exercise (in fact as well as theory), and meditation (ditto), I can get to the point where I can control the bp without the meds. I am not there yet. And if I get stupid and don't take the meds, I threaten my health is a very serious way.

So here I am, having taken my medication like a good girl. I have been drinking lots of water. I have eaten a rainbow today, with nice lean protein. I went to the Bi-Lo this morning and shopped for work. When I left, I realized I had not gone down a central aisle. I stayed on the periphery: bakery, produce, dairy, deli.

I feel much better. I still don't have time to do everything. I have "fired" a client, but I was sweet about it. I have spent too much time organizing, sorting, and sifting and not enough producing revenue, but what the heck? I'm alive.
