I was really optimistic yesterday morning.  And then I drove to work.  I had the intake nurse check my blood pressure at around 10 and it was a little high, but not like it had been.  And then around 2 it went up with a whoosh!  When I showed up in the intake office everyone said I looked flushed and I was at 160/98.  I called the doctor.  His office called around and found him.  They called in a Rx for Clonidine.  That's what my brother took in Jr high for his ADD.  It made me feel much beter, and then sleepy and loopy.  The doc said to take it if my blod pressure got up over 150.  and if it was still up in 4 hours to take another.

I went for an echocardiogram and an EKG this morning.  The report should be back to the doctor Monday.  After I got back to work, I was at 150/90 so I took half a pill.  I'm stressed enough trying to jump into my new job.  I don't need to be getting all loopy at work,

Went by my parent's house on the way home.  My dad found out he would probably be laid off at the end of August a few weeks ago.  His company is losing a big contract.  Mom was told today that she was being laid off.  The director at the Lancaster library is a huge Bitch.  And if Mom's getting fired, I'll just say it.  She's been singling her out since she found out Mom was working on her MLS.  and I'm sure she volenteered to lay off the only non supervisory full time employee.  Only 2 other people are getting laid off by the city for budget reasons.

S has been on the diet for 5 days with no known violations.  He is happy and energetic.  I'm really not in the mood because I hurt and I find it annoying.  But it's also really nice.  Right now he is refusing to drink his juice or eat his steamed carrots.  Later I'll make more almond bread. 

bloodpressure, work, medical blah, specific carbohydrate diet
