Got up at 4am this morning to leave at 6am. Went to the hospital for two spinal injections for Elena. Back home, ate something, and Elena is back in bed sleeping. I am a bit tired. I normally go to sleep around 4 so it was strange to get up then. All went well.
I really don’t know who any of these people are. So as I find out about them… I go: “Oh…”
But I’ve been enjoying the memes and the various melties I’ve been hearing/seeing. I’m not a hat person, so I never wear my MAGA hat. But I do have a very unique one that says “MA GA” ( マガ )in Japanese characters. It was a promo item from an indie comic. I do try to wear it occasionally. I do have a number of pretty choice shirts though.
Well…. This weekend seemed long, for some reason. The Royal “They” are paving our driveways/private roads. Our complex was built in the mid 1990s, I guess, judging from our crappy appliances, anyway. So there hasn’t been a repaving since then. It was due to be done around 2020, but… well… things happened. so they just sealcoated one last time. It gave me time to pay my maintenance fee ahead to prepare for the assessment. So…….. That’s okay, I guess. I’m pretty lazy about keeping track though, so I may have paid more ahead than the assessment… I keep meaning to check, but I never do. I just keep paying them a bit extra each month, and I have been doing that for around 3+ years. So….
Anyway… I’m back at work at my night job. Not doing the second job. Wanna find some remote job that is a bit better. Been watching a youtube guy that characterizes these types of jobs, so maybe I’ll figure something out soon.
Regardless, I have a lot of free time at work. So…
Oh yeah, also… I just discovered that I was taking too much BP medicine. Kinda hard to think. or have energy, when your Blood Pressure is zero. So…. That’s been a revelation, which… as usual… I discovered accidentally. Long story. But Funny.
Good morning, dv8. BP and blood sugar. Both do long term damage when high, but they can drop you into a coma if too low. I check both regularly since the heart attack. This weekend I was working on staining my fence and over did it. I felt shaky and hot, and had trouble concentrating, so I checked my blood. I was shaking so bad I had trouble doing the test. It was well I did as it was just over 70. Took two quick bottles of apple juice and things settled down. Also drank three cans of water in a short time. Not the lowest I have been but too low. Need to be more careful doing this. I don’t like doing it but it is just too expensive to have it done.
Well… I’d been forgetting words sometimes. Very frustrating, I kind of choked it up to age, but. Now that my BP is normal again, I seem to have my command of language, such as it is, back to normal. So that’s good.
The story is basically, that I have a certain prescription, but since my last job was physical, I only took half, or else I’d start to get dizzy, etc. But I kinda thought, well… Maybe I need to take the full dose in this new job, since I’m not getting any exercise during work. But evidently not…. So that’s part of the story.
The main part is that, since I’m pretty absent minded, I can miss my pills every so often. But, well, I have that long weekend as I work 4 10s. So… Weekend before last, I forgot my pills, but for 3 days… that was including the Friday night, before, for some reason. So… I noticed that I was pretty wide awake and alert. So I got to wondering. I checked my BP and it was still a bit low, especially for me. So I took my pills, but left out the BP pill. Then I checked the next day and throughout the day, my BP started to go a bit above normal. So I took half. And the next day and the days following, I kept feeling alert, and such, but the BP stabilized. so. I guess I’d better keep watching it.
The thing is, that if I start strength training again, which I’m trying to get myself to do, I might not have to take it at all. Because when I’m active, My BP tends to stay down by itself.
I have not had a problem with BP but my heart Doctor had me taking some anyway. I stopped taking it a long time ago and my BP has not been a problem.
Please do keep a watch on it. I keep a meter nearby and try to check it once in a while. Of course it gets checked at appointments too, but that is mainly Elena. I have far less appointments and have been canceling or putting off most to take care of Elena’s this year.
I would glady pay a racoon more than 5 cents to listen to my problems. He can’t possibly have a lower success rate than the standard psychotherapy field does.
Thread pic: AWESOME!
Good morning and happy Tuesday, GN!

Great news, Mac. Thanks for letting us know. Get some rest and here’s hoping when Elena wakes up that the pain will be gone or lessened considerably.
Hi, Mac. Glad things went well.
All my beverages were especially surprised at me this “morning.”
Happy Tuesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven, and Mac!
I think that ‘coon can do a lot to help the Leftists get over the election.
Mac -- I’m glad things went well with Elena. I hope the injections keep her out of pain. Sorry your sleep schedule was messed up.
Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense??? I wonder what position Sean Hannity gets.
Hrm. In 2016 Trump relied too much on the advice of DC insiders. I hope he doesn’t swing too much in the opposite direction this time.

Be careful, my friend.

And racoons are far less judgmental than cats.
