Blood Pressure
Jan. 24th, 2026 03:13 pmI have to track my blood pressure. There's a snow storm coming, and I have to take my blood pressure.
There's people picking fights with eachother on Reddit, and ICE shot a man to death who was laying face down in a street and I have to take my blood pressure.
I had a cyst removed off my left shin on Thursday, but then I leaked blood all night long so Friday I went in to get stitches. Then I accidentally hammered the wound with the vacuum cleaner this afternoon and I can't really take pain relievers because of my heart medicine.
I have a nice life. It's comfortable. I've worked hard to make a place for me and mine, and that no longer feels safe. But I'm going to make pizza tonight, and then mask up and go to a fashion circus performance, and not let myself give into the temptation to buy a gun.
But I have to take my blood pressure.
127 over 76.
