I’ve been taking my blood pressure on two monitors. I had an older one and I recently ordered a new one because it had better ratings. Both of them say the same thing, so both of these are decent monitors: Fanry Blood Pressure Monitor and the HoMedics Blood Pressure Monitor.
Here are my BP readings for the last couple of days:
- 147/84 – October 13 HoMedics 11 am
- 127/91 – October 14 HoMedics 7 am
- 126/80 – October 14 Fanry 5:45 pm
- 127/84 – October 14 HoMedics 5:50 pm
- 125/72 – October 15 Fanry 6:40 PM
So I think my blood pressure is fine. I only had one high reading and that was the first time I used the HoMedics one in about 2 years. My dog was bothering me. My mom was here. etc. Since the two monitors pretty much match, I’m not going to keep doing it twice. I think what happened at the screening is that I was REALLY stressed. I was anxious.
I will probably keep monitoring it, but I’m not worried at all. I went to the doctor in September and it was 130/80.
I wish I could say my allergies were doing okay. It was so bad on Saturday night, I couldn’t breathe so I had to go to my mom’s house to sleep! I would have gone to a hotel if I had money and didn’t have a dog. I like hotels (most of the time). Yes, I’m still using the air purifier and it is helping a little, but not enough.
I’m worried about how much my electricity will cost by having the machine at full speed. Ugh. This sucks. I’m so glad I’m moving soon because I can’t keep living like this. AND the cold air from the purifier is “forcing” me to use my little heater to keep warm, so yes, the electric bill will be higher. 😦
I did my goals/priorities for the rest of the year (and beyond really). Guess what? Tarot didn’t show up in the top 5! That was shocking to me. My top 5 priorities are:
- Work (day job only)
- Health
- Finances
- Spirituality
- Hobbies
I might break this down more in my next entry. I had my dog on the list, but that is obvious right? Of course, my dog is a priority. I don’t feel I have to list him, but I guess I could remove hobbies and put my dog on the list.
It’s getting late. I’m going to get in the bed and focus on one of my hobbies for a while: reading! See ya later. 🙂
