Gloomy Sunday.......

No, I am not referring to the Hungarian suicide song.....it is actually very gloomy today..for several reasons.....the main reason is its been raining for about 3 days now..and not going to quite until Monday or Tuesday...fortunately, i like it gloomy....rainy drizzly days are my favorite kind of days......another reason its gloomy is, ive been having health problems the last couple weeks..I didn't know what it was, but i figured it was either my blood pressure, or my blood sugars.....so I'm going to bite the bullet and go see a doctor tomorrow....probably blow every penny i have left from my paycheck..but i guess its necessary....i was checking my blood pressure the last few days with my home meter, and it read a few times at around 155 over 100! wow! i was feeling weird headed and dizzy and just generally not feeling good for the last few weeks, and i couldn't remember if i still had my home cuff..but i eventually found it....and it looks like i have high blood pressure..usual reading is around 195 over 90 ish...so hopefully I'll get a prescription tomorrow..I've been making many life changes...changing eating habits etc..hard to get any exercise when its been mostly sub zero and snow covered most of the winter, and i cant afford to join the gym..so I'll have to do jumping jacks or something..hah! last time i went to our local med center, the dumb broad that was there at the time.. refused to give me a prescription.....and my blood pressure was about the same at that time.....she said "don't drink don't smoke eat right and exercise....that will be 97 dollars please!" needless to say..i refused to pay seeing as she only gave me about 3 minutes of her time....she kept running in and out of the room to talk on the phone, and talk to friends who kept wandering into the place.....now there's a different doctor there now and he better not screw me or its the last time i ever go to that place......oh well..we'll see what happens tomorrow.....i feel good today for a change..no annoying mild headache..no dizziness or weird headedness....so we'll see what happens........my blood sugars are a bit elevated as well..don't know if my blood pressure has anything to do about it..but i can only afford so much at a time...other than that..mom is in mega nag mode so i need to conclude this blog for today...until next time....
