Ok day

[ksmith]

Annual physical today. Well, annual plus 1.5 years. I have, according to my doctor, the blood pressure of a teenager. 120/70, which is low for a doctor's office reading, given that I have in the past been a card-carrying member of the White Coat Syndrome Club.

Cholesterol's down a little. HDL is up and LDL is down, thanks to the running. I've lost a few pounds, though not as many as I'd hoped. Need to follow up on an issue that has proven non-serious in the past and will hopefully continue to do so. Need to schedule a test that I've been putting off for a few years but need to have now that I will be turning 50. *blech*

Fingers crossed the old carcass will continue to see me through.

In other news, the weather is insane. Mid 40s (F) this morning. Tomorrow morning, we may hit 0 F, with windchills of 25 below. A little snow, but the main issues will be black ice and whiteout conditions due to the wind gusts of up to 45 mph.

Can you say, "Utter bullshit"? Sure, I knew you could.

Me (at last physical, a few months ago, to doctor who is mid-40s): And as for the various aches and pains--

Him (with a grin): Just wait until you're 70.

Just wait until you're 70.

I can wait.

I already feel twinges in my hands. I'd like at least one new knee, and I'd like to trade in my feet and ankles, please.
