Today I had biology lab.....it was a blood pressure lab. We were practicing taking each other's blood pressure. Everybody had normal looking ones......mine however wasn't. My blood pressure at 1:40 today was 165/104. I panicked and called my mother. She told me to just calm down. It probably is just stress. I am scared because high blood pressure runs on both sides of the family and my mother had open heart surgery on 9/11.
I called Thomas and told him. He about hit the roof. He's educated on this sort of thing because his blood pressure is slightly high because of a congenital heart condition...that I think is under control. He was upset because he knows that we both have been under tremendous stress this week. He sent me this e-mail this morning:
Just trying to start over new for 2002. as of now these are the only type roses I can send lol(This was a Yahoo Greeting with a pic of a bouquet of roses on it.)... and I know the distance is killing us but I know we can shake back from this and still be happily married in the next few years. I love you my sexy mami and don't ever wanna lose you, so this is kinda of an early valentine for my very special love one.

Awwwww.......this is what I sent back to him. I have been sorta selfish this week and I wanted to apologize.
Baby, I know that things have gotten a little rough for us this week. For this I am truly sorry. I know your situation and I knew all of this before we even progressed to this point but yet I let myself and my own needs get in the way. What I really need to do is loosen up, step back and let you do your thing. I will be here when all is said and done...I promise. Please forgive me for the past couple of days. I know that an attitude like mine is not easy to deal with. I love you for putting up with it for so long. Please know that I am so sorry.
Always and forever, Kat.
Maybe that is why my blood pressure was up. We will be fine...sooner or later.....hopefully more sooner than later.
