JULY 30th : How You Felt Today & The Best Idea You've Had This Week?

Happy MONDAY!!!!!!!! 

Okay before I get into the blog prompts for today, I am going to make a blog post later (today, tomorrow?) .... about life stuff.... 

....... oh that damn life stuff..... 

Okay, so I woke up this morning.... wait I should start with the fact that I went to sleep last night/this morning ....  EARLIER ... than normal.  SHOCKER.  I don't remember if it was 12:30am or 1:30am ... but it was around there.  I woke up at about 10am...  so I got about ...8 hours of sleep at least.  WOW!  That's pretty unheard of for me lately. 

So I get up, and .....  I notice ....  my laptop is not where I had it, it's on the floor.  OMG... whatever.  Cat probably knocked it down.  So I ask DB to hand me the blood pressure cuff.  I did my blood pressure, I took my temp (for shits & giggles) and I checked my blood sugar.  Yes, yes I did.  I knocked over my coffee cup full of my pretty pens I use to do my journaling in my calendar ...

So I've been taking my blood pressure a lot lately, for good reason.  I have high blood pressure, yes.  I am on meds for it.  But something else is going on - that is super weird.  Laying down, relaxing, my blood pressure is normal or high (mostly cuz of pain) ... but when I stand up, every damn time I've done this....  if I stand up, my blood pressure drops, and my pulse goes up.  It's weird and I'll talk more about it in my random July blog. 

HOW YOU FELT TODAY ....... 

It's been a bit of a rough day - to be honest about it ....

I'll get into more of the medical things in another entry for the month ...  but ....  I just haven't been feeling good all day...  yesterday was better, but today has been hard.  My head is hurting badly, my right hand is in a lot of pain, just over all my joints and muscles are all screaming.  I've been in bed all day, working on this and that ...  and my kids came to hang out with me today.   It's just been a rough day. 

DB and I got out for a little bit today.  He took me to a few pokestops and I got out and sat in the gazebo for a spell ...  it was nice. 

But the pain level has been rough. 

THE BEST IDEA YOU'VE HAD THIS WEEK..... 

Whatever clicked for me ....  that allowed me to almost bang out the whole of chapter 8 in one day ...  (yesterday) .... because I like it ....  so YAY!!! ...
