This is Just Crazy

Just a quick post before I get some sleep.

I've been on these meds for my high blood pressure for a few days. It's not horrible, and I am noticing that there are some physical changes. The diuretic part of the pill seems to be keeping the PMS bloating away. I also can't explain it, but I'm feeling a little more settled emotionally. Not as likely to get anxious when things get crazy. Maybe it's more because I know I can't afford the increase in blood pressure than because of the meds. The iron pills make my stomach acidy.

I had a coffee date tonight. This one I found on my own. He's nice. I let him kiss me. I could tell he was nervous about it and he was kidding around with me about it before he did. I have to giggle a little about that. You see, he's former military and I doubt it's the worry about me inflicting bodily damage if I should decide I didn't want to be kissed. He wants to see me again. I think I'll see him again. Only one thing might be an issue and I'm hoping I can "deal with it". He's short. Like exactly my height.

I've had my "leash" lengthened at work. My trainer lets me send out one type of insurance authorization request without reviewing it now. Not that I did much of that today. I sat in 3 hours of meetings and feel as if I lost a big chunk of my day in pointless meetings. While I still hate the job, I've become resigned to the fact that I will have to keep it until my taxes are paid.

That's about it.

Glad you are settled more emotionally, for whatever reason. I have a sneaky feeling that the coffee date might have something to do with it? Hope you don't let his height factor in on your decision of sponge worthiness....ha. I still envy your corporate life, even if you are searching for a new place to display your talents and intelligence. Have a good night and dream of hunks.

wombie - the settling came before the date, but it is nice to go out more often than I had been the past year. I'd trade my fancy shmancy job for a more common one if it meant I could leave the city and live back in the country.

Well hopefully things continue to settle out to a comfortable point with the meds and health, glad you are already feeling more of a positive impact. Sounds like a promising, nice little date there. Whatever happens, I hope it turns out for the best, and that work is at least bearable.

Well, at least I can say we both have one dream in common, even from my little corner of the world. I want to live "back in the country," too. One of my main dreams (goals in life) is to have a little spot of ground that I own out where there are crickets, frogs, old barns, misty sunrises, lazy sunsets amid old tobacco barns and the sweet sounds of the ................ (spelling WAY off on that so off to look up the correct one. Hang on....ha.

Ok, so ignore that, photo didn't work. Won't further bother you with my trying. Yikes......

hege - I had a bad day today with the meds and stayed home. I think this will time to sort out. I am seeing the coffee date guy next week. He's cooking me dinner!

wombie - I've heard a whippoorwill. They always sound sad. I love the sound of crickets.
