I’m not a caffeine person. But once in a blue moon I need it to stay alert at work after a really bad night.

I’ve slept 2 hours. Been awake since 10:30, too angry to sleep. I’m so tired & my head hurts. But I may give up & just go into work early. The problem will be that I’ll need caffeine tablets throughout the day to stay awake. But that won’t help my blood pressure.

I was reading that not a single Pennsylvania democrat thinks that Fetterman should run for re-election and this gem was in the comment section:

Bath & Body Works has a scent called Stress Relief (eucalyptus and spearmint). It’s my go-to relaxation scent. They have it in body wash, shampoo, body lotion, linen spray, candles, even auto air freshner. It’s very popular. I remember when it was introduced. Now it’s one of their classics.

I may double the one BP med for several days. I know my temper! 😂 Irish. Strawberry blonde. Taurus. It’s some combination. But, only 3 days until my 4 day weekend.

So relieved to hear it! I was worrying until you replied.

Took my PM meds as soon as I got home. Doubled one of my BP meds. Took a shower. Lit my relaxation candle. Watched a LOL show. Got my BP down to 113/62. Whew!

representatives & Senators who were loyal to a party over their constituents, their states, and the Constitution.

The Constitution makes it very difficult. The framers of the Constitution didn’t foresee political parties so powerful that members would have more loyalty to the party than to the country. For people who had risked life & livelihood to create this country, it must have been hard to fathom

Not a good day at work. Not issues with patients. Issues with leadership & support staff. I’m so angry! Took my blood pressure earlier and it was 160/93! Not good. Three hours later & it hasn’t come down.

Oh, no! I’m so sorry!

@billadler.bsky.social Saw the news about the earthquake. Are y’all okay?

Kinmo looks rather suspicious of the photographer. 😂

Swimming. Fridays & Sundays are my swimming days. Getting back to swimming these past five & a half months has done so much for my health.

Awww. My sister and I had lessons when we were kids. The Catholic school that we went to for a while also did swimming lessons in gym for several weeks each year.

I’m the opposite. For the first time in years, there are several movies I’m interested in seeing. Used a Groupon discount to get 6 months movie club membership for the price of four.

Great pic! I grew up in Norfolk, Virginia. Lived near the naval base. The Blue Angels used to fly right over our street, just above the trees, on yearly air show days and practice days prior to each air show.

A hiking path up a mountain

I have been wanting to hike for YEARS but unable because of my spine injury.

It’s taken one year and four months of determination and working hard on my mobility, but today I DID IT.

I could cry. You people have no idea. I never, ever thought I’d be able to do anything like that ever again. ❤️

Congratulations!!!

I swear, I feel 20 years younger (except for having to be careful with my bum knee - but that knee has been somewhat of an issue for more than 20 years).

Yes, it should be “toe.”

Thanks! I listen to a playlist while I swim. When I started 5.5 months ago, I could do laps for 3 or 4 songs, then would do less intense activity (treading water, jumping jacks, running in place) for 10 min. I gradually built up to 6 song stretches. Then 10, 12, 15, 20 songs. Today, I did 31 songs!

Did laps without stopping for the full 2 hours that I was in the pool! This is a first for me. 😊

Got up. Unloaded dishwasher. Put away dishes. Fed cat. Dressed for pool. Got gas. Waiting for pool to open, made two curbside pickup orders to get after my swim. Productivity! 😊

But we attacked Iran to “free” their women. Right. 🙄

So glad that Mounjaro pretty much takes away my desire for red meat.

I put the mat down before I use the toilet, so that my shoes aren’t on the soiled tile. I take it up when I’m done and set it on storage bin that I brought in to hold cleaning supplies. I bring it home & launder it on weekends.
