Blood pressure update: I just took the reading (I own one of those fancy pants blood pressure monitors) for the first time since I started the new blood pressure medication that Dr. Pounds prescribed. I've been on it about a week. It's the lowest reading I've seen in years. The bottom number hasn't been under 100 in a long time. Maybe since World War II. On October 15 it was 169 over 110, the reading I just took was 139 over 94. I guess the new medication is working. There are two side effects I've noticed: 1.) My poops are more regular (there's your too much information TMI moment for today) and 2.) I've been getting less headaches. I was hoping I'd get an awesome super power like x-ray vision or become sexually irresistible but that hasn't happened... yet.
I woke up this morning after what seemed like a super short weekend and had this premonition that something big is going to happen this week. I don't know what big really means -- whether it would be in the world, or just my life. Then, I remembered that every time I've had that feeling nothing out of the ordinary happens. I'm always caught off guard when a big thing happens and never expect it. My excitement was short lived. It might have been because I really had to pee when I woke up.
Sunday was dinner and grocery store day (as always) and I shot photos (as always). Anthony and I went to Whataburger for dinner and Walmart Market for groceries. It was pretty routine. Maybe that means its the calm before the storm (you know, the big thing I am thinking is going to happen). Or, before the pee.
