Okay, so yesterday I was dizzy and my bp was 102/70 with a heart rate of 76 bpm.

Today, much less dizzy and my bp is 118/80 with a heart rate of 98. Yeah, I think my blood pressure was a bit low yesterday. I don't think it's supposed to swing 10 points within 24 hours. The question is, was it because of the extra salt or the extra iron yesterday

I feel like shit. I've tried to work out for the past two days and have been too dizzy to complete my workout (moving from one weight lifting position to another just kills me). Part of me thinks it's my positional low blood pressure again, especially because I've been trying to save money by cutting out my favorite salty snacks (salt raises blood ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, Glockgal! I'm sorry I can't be in Vancouver to wish you in person... but remind me when I get back in August and perhaps I can make you a pie (if we can find good berries), since I've managed to master my mother's recipe. :)

Since then I have seen two other fawns and various does, but no one has come to pick him up yet and he hasn't moved. I am concerned. We've checked to make sure he's still alive ( Read more... )

I'm going home sometime next week and will be stuck there until I get my passport renewed. If anyone wants to hang out/see a movie/get a meal/etc. before I leave, let me know.

Turned on my reading light last night without realizing the sleeve of my FAVORITE robe was touching it and managed to burn a hole through the sleeve of my (did I mention) FAVORITE robe.

Stupid reading light.

Gap better still be selling those robes.

First things first, on my recent trip to Portland I re-discovered the alternative station I listened to throughout the filming of Twilight that I really enjoyed. They introduced me to Guster and Muse and Vampire Weekend and Carolina Liar and all the other music I listened to that Winter/Spring. Also reminded myself that they stream the station ( Read more... )

This is a long shot, but I could use some help if there are any Mac gurus out there. I have an old G4 (pre-Intel chips) running OS 10.3. For some reason my computer has just stopped acknowledging anything using Firewire: Two external hard drives and an external DVD burner. The drives turn on and spin up like they're being read, but they never show ( Read more... )
