That just means that I’m either over 65 or that I have a chronic illness, and I’m not over 65. My doc’s office called to change my appointment for next month, so I asked if I qualified for a ‘flu shot. They told me to come in to get since they had six left. Now I’m just worried how my parents can get their ‘flu shots. (They’re over 65, by the way.)

My blood pressure was high today; it’s usually a little high, about 120-130/90, but today it was like 130/100. I’d just had a cup of coffee, I was stressed about the whole ‘flu shot thing, and I had to drive through rush hour traffic to make it to the doctor’s office in under 30 minutes. So I guess there was a reason for my blood pressure to be high, but maybe I need to start taking yoga. Exercising, even marathon preparation, didn’t lower my blood pressure before.

Also, I need to start eating healthier. The only enjoyable thing I can do, and it’s gone, too.
