or, if push cones to shove Mister can adjust his bicycle for her to use for a month or so. After that she can buy her own bike. I honestly don’t see her going anywhere that somebody doesn’t drive her to, so your post is really funny, and I’m not being funny when I say that. Trying to imagine her walking is funny, trying to imagine her riding a bike is even funnier. I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t even know how to ride a bike. But even if she does, no way would that be an acceptable means of transportation for her. Well, since the world isn't going to fall at her feel to accommodate her, she might as well learn that now. There is NO WAY I'd be giving her a ride. Anywhere. Actions have consequences. Time for her to be an adult.

I told dh I hate that phrase. Supporting me would be talking through options. So. I did push DH a little bit about it. I was like, you know, I really value your opinion. I don't want you to be like "oh, we can eat, have the roof over our head, AND retire at 60. We're good." And then he told me he wants me to be happy. And if it means getting a new car, so be it. TBH. I need to sit with that. It's pretty profound that another adult related to me wants me to be happy in a frivolous way. And articulated it. And probably meant it. Gira that's bare minimum for a spouse. Especially for husbands when you look at how much more complicated they make their wives lives compared to the minimal if any benefits they provide. (Backed up by statistics I'm just not going to look for them to source right now). I'm not judging. I get there's baggage to work through, that may never be fully worked through. But don't sell yourself short.

I just wouldn't want to be anywhere nearby, when she does.

The Dr. I went to today, prescribed antibiotics. She said there is clear fluid in my ears, but they aren’t red. In the past, I haven’t always taken the antibiotics when they were prescribed for my sinus issues, but I’m taking them this time, because I don’t want any extra issues when I fly next week. And once again there was a conversation about my blood pressure. Last week when it was taken, at first it was 147 over 89 or something, I don’t remember the exact bottom number, but it was high 80’s. It was taken again about 5 minutes later and it was 120something over 84. So I asked what is considered normal when the Doctor brought it up, and she said that the guidelines have changed and now the high side of “normal” is 120/85. Today it was 127/84, and this Doctor said it was high and asked if I take blood pressure medicine. I asked her what is considered normal, and she said max 120/60. My bottom number has NEVER been under 60, and it wasn’t until the last few years that any Doctor has said anything about it. But that’s not even what the last Doctor said the guidelines for “normal” are. The Doctor today didn’t take it again before I left, she just left it at it being too high. Even my PCP who I saw for over 20 years, until she retired a couple years ago, never talked about my blood pressure. She had no problem bringing things to my attention and even “fussed” at me regularly about some things, but never my blood pressure. But these last few years, my blood pressure has been all over the place when it’s taken, sometimes it’s high when they first take it, sometimes so high that the nurse taking it has asked if I was taking medicine for it, but every single time that’s happened, if they did it again before I left, it was lower. But I still don’t recall the bottom number ever being under 60, even when I was seeing my previous PCP. Idk what to do with this information. I am confused about whether it’s really too high or not. We have a blood pressure cuff somewhere in the house that I can use to take it regularly, but who knows where exactly it is. I guess I need to find it and use it. My BP sticks around 120-125/70-80 while on meds and my doc is ok with that. When I went on meds, it was pretty consistently 150-160/90. I don’t know if there is different guidelines for POC. I do know that they statistically trend to have higher BP and it is more difficult to control with meds. So while 120/70 might be ok for a Caucasian, it may be considered high for you. When I get home, I will do some research on this, or perhaps pulmonarymd knows more about this. One thing to consider. You seem to be almost constantly stressed out…..which is likely to raise your pressure. Getting your own cuff isn’t a bad idea.

Good morning, earnest invisipeeps, analyzing options and planning for the future. Welcome to Friday! Another work week drawing to a close. I hope your day is purposeful and productive, and ends with an adult beverage if you imbibe and an ice cream if you don't. I hope demands, articulated or not, of other people weigh nothing on you. I hope no one pees in your corn flakes. Today I'll finish house cleaning pretty much. Tomorrow is baking day and making marinades. DH can't find the grates for the grill except for one. Apparently it came with 4 of them. We bought it new over a year ago at Tractor Supply Company and he put it together eventually, but not completely. Now parts are missing. He's upset with himself. In the meantime I'm going to pivot to planning on using the broiler for the menu on Sunday and hope for the best. Also I'll look in the basement for the missing grates. I wondered aloud if he could just use one grate for the grill, but he said no, that wouldn't work. I bought steak for the shish kebab at Costco that looks marvelous. I bought a bunch of other needed items, too. We should be good except for lemons (I have lemon juice) and onions, and coconut. Other ingredients for the marinades I have on hand. The men will pick up the scallops and shrimp on Sunday. We're in a spate of beautiful days, overcast but perfect weather IMNSHO. Yesterday's sunrise was through the morning mist:

Sitting in the lounge waiting for flight. It’s been delayed 25 min already and we do not have a huge amount of time in AMS. I think we need to go thru passport control there and the airport is huge.
We probably need to start trotting down to the gate.

I posted in depression thread that dh and I were supposed to go away this weekend, he finally planned it a couple of months ago after realizing that I was serious about not planning weekends for us any more. I've had some of the hardest days the last few weeks and he can't be bothered to even check in after appts and such. I decided I can't be bothered to fake it all weekend and told him last night to which he said something like he'd go alone. No MFer you should have said you go, you need the time away. Instead we left it in yet another passive aggressive stand off. Now he's snoring away and I just want to smother him in his sleep. I'm going - the only question is whether it's by myself or if I ask my mom to come.

I heard that folks that live near Atlanta are getting headaches, and it's affecting people all the way into Florida due to that fire at the chemical plant. I'd hate to be breathing that in.Our weather is doing the roller coaster thing, where the temps are going up & down 20 degrees each day. It gives me a headache and makes my joints ache too. But it does make for spectacular pink sunrises

While I recognize that BP is an important health indicator but I feel it’s sometimes misused. I’ve struggled with high BP all my life and just last year started a new drug combo which has been very effective. My resting BP is now 130/90 which is amazing for me and has my doctor jumping for joy. But, when I go to the dentist or optometrist they freak out because that’s “high” by their standards. I feel my BP reading negatively impacts my care because they worry I’m going to stroke out in their offices!

But don't sell yourself short. I appreciate you saying this. I had some time to think about this in the shower this morning! (Usually, I'm focused on work). There is a lot of baggage. I think deep down, I've always linked happiness with irresponsibility. I guess I really couldn't articulate that until now. It's gotten a whole lot worse since covid. And that's something I'm going to have to figure out.

The only time I get my blood pressure checked is when I'm at the drs. Which is mostly for my cancer follow ups.
I don't think my body knows how to relax when you are finding out whether or not you have another 6 months of illness free living ahead of you, or if there's more treatment or an expiration date granted to you.
DH has a cuff. I suppose I could take it at home.
He also has really high blood pressure and has meds.

But even if she does, no way would that be an acceptable means of transportation for her. Well, if she's too lazy to walk she can always Uber. I do wonder if spending a good chunk of her earnings on transportation will provide enough of an incentive to learn to drive.

I am listening to a Biography about Julia Child's life. It is very interesting. I am up to about 1944. She worked in India and China during the war years as part of some kind of secret service unit. I am wondering if this will be made into a movie- would love to see this as a movie.

That would be a hill I would die on. Want me to reconsider? Try being freaking nice for several months and I'll think about it.

I can see if you live in in area with good public transportation you may not feel the need to have your license as a young person. I'd happily take it if we had a good transportation system in the winter I HATE winter driving.
Or if you have physical impairments which prevent you from obtaining your license or driving a car. That is understandable.
It's the standing there expecting other people to rework their schedule for you and drive you everywhere that irritates me. HELL NO!
YD would get the Uber app installed on her phone faster than she can blink. Those people get paid to cater to her spoiled rotten ass let them drive her.

I was just sharing it with y’all yesterday because I knew some of you would get it.

My BP sticks around 120-125/70-80 while on meds and my doc is ok with that. When I went on meds, it was pretty consistently 150-160/90. I don’t know if there is different guidelines for POC. I do know that they statistically trend to have higher BP and it is more difficult to control with meds. So while 120/70 might be ok for a Caucasian, it may be considered high for you. When I get home, I will do some research on this, or perhaps pulmonarymd knows more about this. One thing to consider. You seem to be almost constantly stressed out…..which is likely to raise your pressure. Getting your own cuff isn’t a bad idea. I didn’t think about the POC aspect, thank you for mentioning that.

I took a gander at cars again, and I have other choices.
And DS just got approved for a place to live. They can move in November 1.
I'm not ready for this emotionally, even if our budget is ready for it.

And it's literally like 10 minutes away from our house.

LOL. I asked about furniture. DS was like "a big ass tv and lawn chairs."
It is so weird to have a child fully self-supporting before they can legally drink.
I mean. I didn't adult until I was almost 26. That's when I was working full time at a real adult (non-grad student) job. It was also when I got married (a few months later after I started working my first post college job. So..I really did the adulting thing up big.

Playing with theater show subscriptions. Holy cow is it expensive nowadays to do the Broadway subscription. Two tickets to each show came out to almost $2k before fees.
Which I suppose we can argue is cheaper per show but damn!
I am toying with getting the pick 3 subscription. I get to pick which three shows I want to see. With the three I picked that came to $575 for three shows one of which is Hamilton.
Which is still a lot but not compared to $2k!
Several of the Broadway shows don't interest me anyhow and I'd feel obligated to go for that much money.
