whirrrr...

After a few marginally-high blood pressure readings during medical appointments (typically 135/90), my physician wanted me to be screened for incipient hypertension. So since yesterday afternoon, I've been wearing a monitor... electrodes stuck to my chest, a box on my waist, and a cuff on my left arm that squeezes my arm numb every 20 minutes. And I can't bathe until they remove it, at 2pm today... so my co-workers may suffer today, considering how hot it's been here (100F yesterday, no air conditioning).

At least JL waited until after 8am to call my house, today... sigh. I've stopped answering my cellphone, so now he's resorted to trying to catch me at home over breakfast or dinner.
