I can barely keep my eyes open today. Good thing I can type without looking at the keys. I know I am supposed to be watching the old waistline and I am supposed to be curtailing the caffeine for my blood pressure, yada yada yada, but I am about to cruise Starbucks for a triple [...]

Dear Diary: Well, today really blew chunks. We got skunked again. Third time this year. Two dogs outside just after midnight and some stink rodent cuts a huge one all over the dogs, all over our house, all over my life. Spent the night in the family room with the dogs to contain the stench [...]

I am still determined to get to the gym, but today I engaged in my favorite aerobic activity: House cleaning. Stop laughing. I am for really reals. I love a clean house and I don’t mind putting in the effort to get it there. It’s just that finding the time can be difficult. Regular cleaning [...]

This NaBloPoMoFo thingy is keeping me honest to this blog: I sure wouldn’t be posting anything tonight if I didn’t make a pinky swear promise to write every single day. Didn’t do well with food: I had a salad for lunch (good); Chinese food for dinner (bad) and yogurt-covered pretzels for dessert (jury’s out on [...]

Today marks one week of living with hypertension. And I have not been very successful at doing any of the things I need to do help lower my numbers. Have I reduced my caffeine intake? Barely. Have I reduced my salt intake? Not really. Have I had eight servings of whole grains and 10 servings [...]

Today is my birthday. Normally birthdays are happy occasions and mine will indeed be full of fun and celebration. Girlfriends from work are taking me out for a drink, my daughter rearranged her schedule to be home for dinner and later I will pick out some decadent birthday dessert. All day long my phone has [...]
Harder and harder to breathe

This blog title is mostly in reference to one of my favorite Maroon 5 songs, because I am going to see them in concert tonight. It’s also refers to how I feel at my office right now. People kind of gingerly stepped around me this morning because of recent incarceration, er, I mean hospitalization. But [...]
Numbers hate me

I just ordered decaf. I can’t believe I just ordered decaf coffee. I am officially becoming one of those people I pitied. I went to see my primary care doc today. My BP was 158 over 98, which sucks considering I’ve been on meds and rest for two-and-a-half days. The nurse asked me some questions [...]

I bitch an awful lot on this blog. About my job, my weight, my recent tour of hospital hell. But today was the kind of day that makes you happy to be alive. And I feel compelled to remember it forever on this blog. I spent most of the day with my hubby, who is [...]
