Song: “My Old Man’s A Dustman” by The Irish Rovers
Mood: 6.5
Nightmares: 0
Ghosts: Lots
Just a quick post tonight – it’s already pretty late.
No nightmares again last night, whoo! I woke up a few times but didn’t have to get out of bed for any of them so overall I think I slept pretty well. It didn’t take me forever to get going this morning, and once I was up and moving I was good for the rest of the day.
It was beautiful outside again today. Lots of melting snow out there, and the water along with blocked drains makes for some pretty big puddles. I went for a walk and took off my jacket halfway just so I could feel the sun on my skin. You know, vitamin D or whatever.
Dr H has asked me to take my blood pressure once in a while to make sure that it’s still under control. I haven’t remembered to do it for a few, uh… months, but I have an appointment with her next week so I figured I should probably get some numbers. I sat down at the machine, pressed the button, and waited for it to try and squeeze my arm off. I opened my eyes and looked at the display when I heard and felt the cuff hiss, and saw this:
I am what the medical textbooks call a ‘prime physical specimen’.
I’m going to check it again tomorrow and see if it’s still good, but I’m sure it’s going to be fine… just fine.
Ghosts were a bit of a problem today but I think I was still quite productive. I’m still thinking about that water detector thing. Who wouldn’t want something that told them if there was water somewhere water shouldn’t be? I took a quick look at Amazon and there are over 9000 results for “water detector”, so somebody must be buying them. More thought required.
J and I watched another iZombie this evening. I’m less irritated and much more confused with Liv and Major’s relationship now. After the show was over, J and I spent the next hour talking about all kinds of stuff, from why we like some of our favourite books, to the history of gender reassignment surgery. We talk about all kinds of stuff.
With luck, I will have another nightmare-free sleep tonight and another productive day tomorrow. FA is still planning to come over on Friday and I’m really looking forward to that!
Oh, and it’s the first day of spring! Gross dirty slush days are ahead, and after that comes the green stuff!
Stay safe.
