My morning systolic blood pressure was pretty good, but my diastolic doesn&#8217;t like to hang out much below 90. I stopped by Sonic to get some Ched &#8216;R&#8217; Peppers for Summer and a free fresh cherry lemonade that I stuck in my fridge to sip on over time. Jessica finally got power for her TVs outside the library, but I had to climb up to reset the Chromebits.<\/p>\n<p>Allen wanted Dairy Queen for lunch, so I met him and Jason there. They had a promo chicken and waffles meal that was super good. The waffle was really crispy on the outside and perfectly soft in the middle, and I even got some gravy for the chicken strips. Even the fries were hot and tasty today. I felt that it was a great accomplishment to order a 4-piece meal instead of the 6 that was offered. Baby steps.<\/p>\n<p>A little while after lunch, I had to go back to the doctor to let them take my blood pressure a couple times until they found a number they liked. The bad thing is that they kept my diastolic blood pressure of 80, which is an all-time low that I&#8217;ve only ever reached once before during a reading where I was distracted and taking a phone call. I always just assumed that one was bogus and should be thrown out. In any case, they wrote me a proper prescription for the 10mg of amlodipine besylate I&#8217;ve been taking, plus a new prescription for 25mg of hydrochlorothiazide. I&#8217;ve only got one more double-shot of my original prescription, so I guess I&#8217;ll wait a day and take my new ones together so they run out at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Summer had a really rough day and was super frustrated with everyone, so I took the girls with me while she went to the gym. We stopped by Walgreens so I could pick up my prescriptions, and then I took Autumn home since she was dealing with a bad attitude as well, and Eaddie wanted to join Summer and me for b\u00fan thang at my parents&#8217; house. The soup was great, but it&#8217;ll be interesting to see how my body deals with the extra spice tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, Summer took Eaddie home and I went to my house and did a little cleaning before setting up my replacement TicWatch E. I really love my Pebble more though, so I may try to sell the TicWatch and come back to Wear OS later in the future. A big part of me is frustrated by how many interests I&#8217;m trying to juggle right now though, and just wants to sail off and disconnect for a while. At least I think it does. I suppose it&#8217;s possible this is just another one of my many interests that is feeling neglected at the moment. I haven&#8217;t been on the water in a while.<\/p>\n<p><em>One that&#8217;s never gonna try to migrate or escape!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was really slow again today, but I spent most of my time trying not to hulk out instead of cleaning or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,29,36,53,27],"class_list":["post-3082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-anger-management","tag-family","tag-food","tag-health","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3082"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3083,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3082\/revisions\/3083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
