I cannot believe how elated I am about the stupid blood pressure thing. I can't believe I let it get to me like that. See??? That's why not going to a doctor is so much better. Being ignorant has its rewards... But, now the toothpaste is out of the tube so I'm stuck with it. So I am glad to the max that I went to the fire station!


My whacky neighbor across the hall called this morning. This woman moved in with her husband about the same time I did. I asked her to keep a key to my unit and she agreed. I used to see them fairly often. They owned restaurants around town. Then they got a divorce and he moved out and I rarely saw her. About 5 or 6 years ago I ran into in her the elevator and she reminded me about the key and asked if I still wanted her to keep it and I said yes, please.

Last Thanksgiving, just as I got off the plane in Seattle from Mom's, I realized that I did not have my keys. I called her. She was home and saved my normal blood pressure ass. But, that has really been the extent of our acquaintanceship.

This morning she called and apologized for the last minuteness but asked if I could water her plants and scoop her litter while she was gone for a long weekend. I said I'd be glad to. I went over to get the drill and she was so organized about it. She has a hose hooked up so watering is easy. She uses flushable litter and the box is right next to the toilet. Easy peasy. I was then very glad I had said yes.

Her place is the exact polar opposite of mine - it is crammed with stuff. Before I did my remodel, I had way too much stuff. I got rid of half of it. She has 4 times more than I had then. Or more. I will take pictures. It's amazing.

I need to make a library run. And I need kitty litter and cat food. And I need to get some puzzles up on my puzzle page.

Oh and I got a note from one of my clients asking if I was available in August and September for some work!! It's a project I hate but it's billable hours so I'm not complaining.

Things are definitely looking up...

I didn't know they did blood pressure checks at firestations. That seems a little weird....
Congratulations on being normal.
Mine goes up when I go to the doctor and I think it's from being so nervous.

What is this flushable litter you speak of? Can it be true?

So it WAS the massage that lowered your blood pressure!
I knew it!
you need me.
:)

Im so glad to hear that!
They have lowered the standards for what is now considered 'high'. Anything over 120 is 'high' but it sounds like you were coming in on the low side of 'high' and I also agree that it was probably just BEING at the Dr. that jacked it up so 'high' in the first place!
yay!

ps:
Im also glad you utilized the hot young fireman in your hood.
