Jeez...I don’t know why I didn’t get the truck smogged last week. Now I have to get it smogged AND registered on Friday, along with everything else I do on payday.

It looks like I’m going to spend this summer eating Benedryl, as the wind is blowing again today. My eyes were so itchy last night they cried without my urging.

My BP is coming down slowly, but one thing I’ve learned...the BP cuffs in the doctors’ offices will cause my BP to rise exponentially, and my arm will turn reddish blue. But will the techs listen to me? So I will take my own cuff when I go.

I read about a bio-feedbak experiment once where they hooked people up to a BP monitor that would ring a bell everytime the reading went from below a certain value to above that value. They offered people $5 for every time the bell rang.

There were people who learned to just make the bell ring constantantly.

It might not be their cuff. It might be your response to having your BP measured there.
