Morning
Friday. Another reasonably long night's rest to awaken at twenty after six to get up and get ready to head out to breakfast on another overcast, dark, but not overly cold morning, the eyes behaving nicely on the walk. Arrived just before seven, the restaurant up and running.
Ordered the two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, the weight still holding on target, and so read the papers and headed home by eight-thirty, again, the sky still overcast. Plenty of scooters placed about on the sidewalks, but not stopping to take pictures. Even I come to the point where I've taken enough pictures of scooters and flowers.
Home to take the blood pressure (I'd forgotten to take it before setting out) - 93/55 - this just after I'd arrived. Too low for being up and about. Light headed? No, unless the aching sinus-upper palate thing is masking it. We'd better find out.
How often have you promised this? Time now to find out?
Later. The clear headed day has held up pretty well. Wrote a note to the cardiologist, letting him know what has been happening, we'll see if there's a response. Watched the first two episodes of the new Tom Clancy series that was released today on Prime, but two episodes turned out to be more than enough.
Evening. To bed early again with lights out after nine. Took the blood pressure at eight twenty-five: 129/81. A bit too high, me-oh-my. Concerned, got up again to take it at nine-fifty: 124/70. Better, but still concerning. We'll take a look again first thing in the morning.
