After a BP reading of 160/104 yesterday, I had to think about a lot of things in my life. Mortality, of course, but also all of the levers and choices that got me to that point. Today the BO is down 30/10 and I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with not compounding stress with bad eating and no exercise. I do believe I have a chance to live, if I choose to live right. I need to stop eating as many sweets (less is more) and salty foods as I do. These things I do are the way I cope with overwhelming stress, which I tend to refer to as ‘my living in AZ condition’. I know what triggers me–anyone following the blog especially this week knows what triggers me. However, having the levers flipped and consinuing to spiral on my own is going to get me killed. Then we’re going to need to call her the Widow Talis and I am not here for it.
I am here for trying to live right. I exercised yesterday and following this blog I’ll get at it again. I don’t do very much, but what I do is a start. Being a terribly lazy person, it is hard for me to get anything started. Once the engine is up and running, I can keep it going. The startup process is closer to starship than an engine, however. Lots of levers. I started laying out my goals for the next 90 days, and that is one of those levers. I even got one done.
So, progress…
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Dealing with Iran war is ‘easy,’ Trump says. College athlete pay? Not so much” Trump goes on to say, “I saw what was happening with college sports. And it doesn’t sound very important compared to what’s happening in Iran and other places,” he said. “But it is very important to me. And if I can get it done, I’ll get it done.” To which I say, “No, you won’t. Cannot happen.”
- Absolutely Expected Headline of the Day: “Ian Huntley, one of UK’s most notorious child killers, has died, days after being attacked in prison” I mean, yeah.
