Not so deeply in the cup.

.
.
Beer sounded delicious last night.  I had a notion to sip a bit deeply.  Two beers.  I didn't wimp out or crash on it.  It just so happened that two was... good.  No, I don't even feel two beers.  It was the flavor.  I do like my beer.  Might have another couple this afternoon or evening.  I've been meaning to add more beer to my diet, in small doses like that.  I've been too busy with too many other things to do, buy, or places to be.  I can only juggle just so much.

Sleep was good.  I was up until midnight, 1:00... no, 1:30-2:00 come to think of it... but not wanting to bust my pattern, and thinking I might be able to pull it off, I set the alarm for 8:00.  I hit the snooze once, but got up and turned the ugly noise machine off before it sounded again.  It is a good morning.  Being cooler last evening I had opened everything up and put all the fans on tornado.  The wake was perfect, temp wise.  And I closed everything right away, to keep what of that cool I can.  Even in my room I only used the fan part of the ac, along with my other fan.  I need fresh air when I sleep or I wake to a stale swamp.

I am feeling okay.  But my bp is rather low again today.  Not sure what is going on with diabetes.  It is staying elevated.  I'll keep checking and dosing.  I get bored when no progress seems to be made.  Like the movie Groundhog day, but unable to change the situation.  I didn't like the movie, if the notion could have been good with someone who could be believed as the lead.  I don't like any of the old (or newer/new) SNL casts.  The whole thing was created in, for, by, and of the "me" generation and hasn't ever gone beyond it.  It probably can't.  An icon of excess of self.  Yeah, I go against a lot of grains, so be it.

Today?  Like I said, at some point, a bit more work in the garden.  I will reset the hoses for a different watering past in the garden for this evening, if I will only run it, perhaps, an half hour to hour.  Things are really looking better out there.  Weeds are exploding, but so are the good plants.  Mostly.  I really do have to plant things in, say, January or February, using an interior room to keep them warm enough and lamps on timers to give them the light they need.  I'll have to replant several times, as well.  A minor greenhouse would be nice, but so would a billion dollars, two assistants, a chef and prep cook, and some other things I don't have.  With most of the kit set up all I really need is a few more lights and maybe some bigger pots for when the things grow, or a larger trough type planter?

Mostly today is an off day.  Or more, a medicine adjustment day.  That stuff is just plain nasty.  And I did put a pretty heavy plug in this week.  Daily daily and then some.  A bit of straightening and sweeping would be good here at the man-cave though.  Just a touch here as I go there, a bit there, just as the day flows, not really a concerted effort per se.  Yeah.  Later.

  1. I'm coming out of the same situation. Chronic fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath. Went through a battery of tests, changed my meds (dizziness got worse with the nitrate based meds and add to that headaches) and it was not blockage again. Hooked me up to a 24/7 portable EKG (satellite based -really cool!) and found out I have big time arrhythmia, wiring problems with the ticker. Changed my meds again and now finally felling better.

    Mowed the church lawn this morning. Still taking it kinda easy but haven't had chest pains since the new meds kicked in. Palpitations have really eased off too.

    Growing old isn't quite what we expected, eh?

  2. Yeah, but every time I'm feeling good THEY want to tinker. When I'm feeling bad, they try to tell me it's good. I don't trust em', that's all I'm saying. Glad they are getting to your problem though.

    I have no heart pains. Other pains, sure. So, you get it worse in that department. On the other hand, you can mow. I simply can't, not regularly or without a very high cost. Mostly working in the heat I think. Getting better though, save when they add sand to the sandbags.

    I was on one of those ekgs a few years ago. It amazes them how steady my heart is. That is back when they thought bp was the problem, or said they did. Don't... trust... them. Gah!

    And, no, aging isn't as easy as it looked to be, or as fun. Still... beats the options. *crocodile tears and a big grin*

    (I especially like that I have outlived the first doctor, the one who "misdiagnosed" this as depression. He was only about 4-6 years older.)
