Sometimes, it's not anything you've done, but it's the medication. My X was on one for several years, then all of a sudden his BP shot up super high. They increased the med, BUT ended up having to change it. Same thing happened with the new med. about a year later, so they put him back on the first one, and it did fine for several more years, then had to be switched out for a year. Rinse, repeat.

It's going down into the low 40s high 30s tonight. We are prepared. In a bit, I will put up the pop-up, and bring the duck inside for tonight. She loves that.

If my blood pressure had been as high as Caps is my cardiologist would have admitted me. If it goes very much higher than normal he make a med change. Either a new med or an increase in the med I'm taking. He doesn't mess around in a nonchalant manner ever.

I baked another large batch of Christmas tree cookies. Tomorrow I'll begin frosting the Christmas trees, and baking a batch of Snowflake cookies. I intend to do Christmas tree, Snowflake, and Candy Cane cookies. That should make a decent assortment, and they should look nice when I box them up to give to family, and friends.

I cleaned up the kitchen, then put the pop-up pen in there, then put the duck in the pop-up pen. She's happy, and settled right down.

Actually... another reason for a spike in blood pressure is issues with the kidneys.

Just... the joy of getting older.

Remember when you were young, and when filing out a medical form, the "what is wrong with you" section was either blank or had 1 item????

I should be getting a new wood burning stove shortly. I wanted one with a cooktop built in, but I guess I'll just need to get to work on the outdoor kitchen so I can build my own.

Good morning, OF. Facing the possibility of light snow.

I decided to do an outdoor project this morning that will involve power tools. Deliberately set up in an area where the chickens weren't and here they come!
