Okay, first things first: my vertigo has cleared up! I'm not sure if it was the FloNase or the essential oil, and I don't really care. It's just nice to get up from a prone position without the room spinning. :)
On another front, my blood pressure was stupid high when I went to the doctor last week. It was 160/105. Yikes, right? My usualy BP is about 140/98. So, I hunkered down and started watching my diet (eliminating sodium and caffeine mostly) and started walking when I could (not great, since my neighborhood is nothing but fuckingh hills). After a week, I went and got it checked and it had dropped to 142/104. So, progress has been made and will continue to be made or there shall be no pudding!
Healthwise, generally, I do feel better since making the changes. Also, I've lost about 8 lbs. Yay!
In other news, I'm current reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Once I got into the first one (on my fourth bloody try) I started to really enjoy it. It's very much a brain candy sort of book. Carl is sort of a dick character, but Donut is fun.
Also started reading a book on Royal Road. It's called 'Infinite Farmer' by R.C. Joshua and is pretty fun. Angry kid has to survive in the deadliest dungeon as a farmer. Hijinx ensue.
Also, I am trying very hard not to buy, Death By Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Mystery. I keep reading bits of it in the store and I'm doing my damnedest not to actually buy it. LOL.
Anyway, it's 94 degrees here, so I hope wherever y'all are it's a bit cooler. - xoxo MEL
