Actually, this is the only thing I'm going to be doing while waiting, and that's just because I thought I'd write something before I hit the sack...
Apparently there's a bad flu going around. It needs to miss me. Someone pass that along to it from me.
So I've got that 365 (and then some) Days of ME blog going on, right? But my hope was it would encourage other people with digital cameras to take pictures of me and e-mail them to me that same day--thus making me feel like the beautiful superstar supermodel I already know I am... but don't feel like, apparently.
However, the best I've managed so far is to ask people to take pictures of me with my camera. That's fun and all, but there are all these misconceptions now...
Misconception 1: I can be the only one in the shot.
Response: Nuh-uh... look at that pic of me putting Visine in Dane's eye!
Misconception 2: I don't like having my picture taken.
Response: Um... well, I used to not like it so much, but then realized people can see me when there isn't a camera pointed at me, so what's the point? Actually, I used cringe a little when I'd see myself in a photo, but you'd be amazed at how much looking at a picture of yourself every day can actually make that lessen...
I'm done with misconceptions. So there were only 2.
Anyway, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I'm just certain I'll be taking blood pressure meds by the end of the day... and my mind keeps going to the list of things I have to tell the new doctor, as well as things to ask him... and then my mind goes to all the ways there are to get sick and get sicker, and I start wondering if they'll find some secret awful thing tomorrow... and then I remember about my blood pressure and try some breathing exercises...
And I keep waiting for the district site for teachers to open back up... and then the blood pressure thing comes to mind again...
Which is why I'm going to bed now.

I know that you're committed to walking and I am not going to suggest that you de-commit yourself from that because it's good for you. However, I am going to suggest that you look into yoga. Yes, I said yoga. If you are seriously concerned about your blood pressure, think about yoga. If you just can't go there, buy a guided meditation CD and listen to it daily. Many doctors believe that medititation will bring down s person's blood pressure. It's healthy and no pills required.
