Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Uh-oh. My systolic is usually around 135-145 which my PCP assures me is okay if not ideal. Sounds like it's very not ideal.

So if "lowest risk of cardiovascular disease/mortality is with a systolic BP of 120-124", does that mean lower than 120 is not any better?

(My previous PCP had me on BP meds to try to bring it down to 110. At my weight and height, I'd have been in a permanent faint. A year of trying and it didn't happen and I felt like caca, so I broke up with him.)

was distracted by BP. I was going to say...

Two onerous chores and all my work are done, and it's only just noon! I'm gonna take a nap. And then...okay, probably do more chores, but still.

I'll let you know when I get further into the article. But 135-145 is generally not considered life-threatening. (Which I guess is the same as "not ideal.")

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, quiet day.

So new note to self, when measuring a serving of meat, make sure your scale is showing ounces instead of grams. Little bit of a difference. But the good news is, I can eat more food today.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A guy rang our doorbell at 3:45am this morning. The dogs went NUTS. Jason talked to him through the door and he asked for "A beer or money to buy a beer." He did not seem drunk, but who rings a stranger's doorbell at almost four in the morning?

Needless to say, I dragged my tired ass through work all day long. But I'm going home now!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary took me (and Mr. S) out to dinner for my birthday, and to celebrate the end of Passover. We went to a Greek place that does small dishes. Mmm, roast lamb...

Among the gifts he gave me is a sweatshirt that says "Science is my superpower!" Heh...

Rang the doorbell at 3:45AM? Damn, he's lucky you didn't sic the dogs on him! (OK, probably the dogs might just lick someone, I dunno, but)

I actually did a fair bit of work today. And ordered some friends little presents to be delivered, which I am super excited about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For serious, though.

I held open a door at the y for a tot-carrying woman whose face so resembled ita's, I first froze and then about 10 strides later teared up.Eyes, brows, nose, mouth, hair, freckles, complexion, the whole shape of her face, but shorter than me and local accent. It was something.
