Good morning! I’m awake!

Got a lot to do today, but it can wait till after I drink coffee.

I had a very hard and stressful shift last night. I ran full speed from the minute I got there. One of my fellow nurses commented that my face was red. The nurse aide checked my blood pressure and the systolic (top number)was 150.

Great.

I’m not a very big person...I normally run around 110. 150 is pretty high for a person like me and I’ve never had my BP that high except the last week before Matthew was born and they put me on complete bedrest. It was 140 over 90 (up from 90 over 60) that time.

Take care of yourself!

I was worried about my blood pressure last week when they took it, it was 140/70, but yesterday when I got my all-clear on the mir they checked again and it was at 116/72 which is where it usually is.

I just need to keep exercising.

Take care 2J... I hope I didn’t saddle you with a big job :~) But give the other project a few days... no rush on that, in fact there’s benefit in waiting.
