I really hope you are resting.
Have a good day!
Ahhhhhhh John! A fellow scorpion! :)
Leigh, Yeah I set three alarms an hour apart. I'm caught up now and feel well.
jd, Yep, my only sibling is too.
I used to live as far north as you could on the US side of the border (you can ask if I know you).
So when I say whiskey I mean Canadian. In the south where they try to pass off Bourbon as "American Whiskey", please.
My Irish relatives may balk, but my main drink is Canadian Whiskey.
JQ, I didn't realize how many things we have in common. As for your drink, I am Canadian but prefer Bailey's Irish Cream. Between us, we balance out.
John, this might sound silly, but are you watching your salt intake? Most packaged foods have a ton of sodium in them.
jd, not so silly, as soon as I can sleep and eat at least once in every 24 hour period, then I'll have to take a closer look at the food details.
BTW, how do you think salt may be affecting me?
I eat less fast food than my hypocritical wife feeds my son.
I'm not much of a chef, so I take shortcuts with frozen or prepared foods. But at least they are real food and not mystery food boiled in mystery oils.
John, sodium can raise your blood pressure sky high and make you at risk for a stroke, among other things.
You really need to have your blood pressure checked even if you go to the drug store and buy one with the digital read-outs.
A good one will cost around 70.00.....
Oh, OK. Historically, my blood pressure has been very good, even under stress.
I do have a family history of high blood pressure and (untreated) Apnea is a contributor to it. But so far it's been OK.
I'll have to ask the next time I get it taken.
Hey maybe venting on the Blog helps keep my blood pressure under control.
