On Monday

 

Holiday Chocolates

A friend sent us a box of holiday chocolates.  They arrived in an insulated package with cold packs to keep the chocolates fresh!

On Monday, all the excitement of the past couple of days caught up with me!  I woke up with a headache which I tried to sleep off, unsuccessfully.  I checked my blood pressure and found out that it has spiked!  My blood pressure had been so low recently, that at the beginning of the month, my doctor took me off one of my blood pressure medications.  I was fine for the next couple of weeks, but, today, my pressure had spiked.  I went back on the medication and it brought down my blood pressure back to normal.  But, the headache lingered.

I took a nap in the afternoon hoping that it would help, but it didn't/  So, I took a dose of Tylenol and that, and a cup of tea, did help.  But, as a result of the headache, I didn't go to the pharmacy to get my flu shot.

I had egg salad sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch, today.  I think I will have some of the spicy potatoes for my dinner.  And, hopefully, go to bed at a more reasonable time and maybe catch up on my sleep.  

Today, I am grateful for:

- My blood pressure monitor
- Blood pressure medications
- My pressure responded to the medication
- Afternoon naps
- Daughter taking out the trash and recycling bins to the curb for me

Today's joyful activities included being mostly inactive, resting and taking a nap!

Plans for tomorrow include:

- Getting my flu shot
- Taking daughter to get her flu shot
- Making and mailing some last minute holiday greeting cards 
- Making some Christmas/New Year gifts if I feel up to it

How was your Monday?  What are your plans for Tuesday?
