cornerofmadnessNot only did I get the you're fine see you in six months go-ahead from my cancer doctor, I also lost those 10 pounds I gained and my BP was 112/57.
Now considering I ate a lot last week I'm surprised and I think there is something to what's been knocking in my head. My increasing weight and blood pressure might be related to stress and cortisol levels. This isn't something we really test for often (more when we suspect adrenal tumors) now I'm off work a couple weeks and everything is going back to normal (for me)
I wasn't going to go to the mall since I'll be back on Saturday (the theater is at the mall) but my appointment was at 1 and I was back in my car at 140. I hit the comic book store and finally walked to this Chinese restaurant I've been wanting to go to for years (no parking but I always have to park in the garage and it was a good day to walk). And....it was closed for the week. Sigh. I went to the German place instead but it's still not even 3 pm so I go to the mall to Home Goods and now I have to take something back on Saturday. The clearance body butter. I assumed that was packing tape on it. No, I got it open (which is weird because I wasn't going to open it. I don't usually need it unless the heaters are on) and someone had broken the seal and dug a finger's worth out of the cream. Yep, no thanks.
On my drive home that cardiologist I don't like called me. This is the second time his office has done this. Last time it was his NP, this time it was him, just checking in with me. It was unexpected. How are you feeling? Did you know your holter monitor study was normal (yes we already talked about this but obviously you didn't put it in your note) When will you be coming back to see me? August (unless I change that)
What I Just Finished Reading:
The Faraway Inn - a cozy fantasy (portal) set in Vermont. a really sweet YA cozy fantasy. I enjoyed it to pieces
The Gay Disaster Detective Agency - one of my arcs. I usually like Lev AC Rosen but this isn't working for me. Yeah there are better gay books out there for Pride month. Go read Rosen's Evander Mills series instead (but it is post WWII so it's not exactly happy gay stuff)
The Kindness of Strangers - another arc that wasn't for me
What I am Currently Reading:
Our Sisters Keeper - a very weird own voices black magic setting in the 1920s, has some serious creepy vibes
The Death Card - currently struggling to get into it
What I Plan to Read Next: some of my looming arcs
May's Reads - I didn't read as much as I would have liked to. But as always if you want to talk about any of them, please let's do it.
Dungeons and Danger cozy mystery
That Which Feeds Us Sapphic horror (set in Hawai'i)
Hooked on Murder cozy mystery
The Colour Out of Space Horror manga (Lovecraftian)
We Burned So Bright dystopian (with mature gay couple)
Death al Dente mystery
Lumine Volume One fantasy graphic novel
Impure Blood Volume 1 steampunk graphic novel
