Bah, humbug. It would be the 13th.
My blood pressure has been creeping upwards for the past few months and my doctor decided to start me on a mild medication after today's physical. Of course, he also hinted quite broadly that diet and exercise would perhaps result in the discontinuation of said medication. I have to go back in three weeks to evaluate the effects and see if it's even working for me.
Other than that inconvenience, I feel fine. Looks like my blood work came back OK from what I can tell off MyChart ... They'll probably call me tomorrow to discuss all the results though. I guess I should just bite the bullet and pick a time of day for my walk and get it over with. I already take too much medication, darn it. I need to try to cut some of them back and I'm all too aware that exercise would probably help nearly all my problems. I'll just have to make a nice long walk part of my daily schedule whether it's boring or not. It wouldn't be so bad if I could walk along the lake but we don't have a walking trail that goes all the way around. Plus there's that huge incline to get up on top of the dam ...
Well enough venting. I need to get back to the "Rock & Roll & Ruin" story I'm writing for Sisters in Crime.
