I started a search on how people feel when their blood pressure goes down and the blood vessels start opening up again. I’ve been getting pretty good readings for the first time in a long time and I don’t entirely know how to feel about it. I feel like I can feel again. It feels though the blood is moving through my system and saying, “hey, what’s been going on in here?” Which could point to other health issues, but I am not so sure about that. Instead I am going to focus on improving my physical health and getting down to a weight where this will not continue to be a problem. This is not an easy task at my age (or any age, but especially not over 40). However, I feel pretty good mentally about the work to come.
Meanwhile, I’ve been having the Jordan debate with my now-thirteen year old. He’s at that age where you can list facts and figures, show videos, side by side comparisons, and even interviews from people and he will just blink twice and say, “yeah, but I don’t feel like any of that is real.” He’s basically a Trump supporter at this point. The debate isn’t even whether or not Jordan is the best but if he should be in the conversation with LeBron. Of course, he should. However, there is this youtuber he trusts that says otherwise, so he’s gonna go with that guy just to stake out a position that is different from the masses. It’s fine. I’m refusing to engage. Once people disconnect from reality and reshape language and argument purely to push their own point all that can be done is disengagement.
Speaking of disengage… That’s a clean 10
