Every year on the 4th Thursday in November, I shall blog.

Maybe not so much in between times.

Today was good. Odd, but good. First of all, my turkey was so small that it was scarcely worth preheating the oven. Well, I have the turkey roaster that sits on the counter, but you know what I mean. Second, since my sister has yet to come home for Thanksgiving, since my brother has blown me off for the wife's family (getting married and having two kids will do that to you, I guess), there were just five of us for Thanksgiving dinner. Me, my dad, the two kids. . .and NoNick.

Le sigh.

Quite a lot has happened since last time we talked. That's the irony of blogging--when life makes good blog fodder, I don't have time to blog. When life is boring, I. . .um, I'll let you know when that happens.

Right now, though, life is good. I had a really bad sinus infection when I moved into my new house (which is coming together slowly), and when I went to go get the antibiotics for that, I found out I have high blood pressure.

Gee, I wonder why?

160/120, which won me a trip to my GP, which earned me another daily medication--but I had already discontinued the Adderall. I was having a hard time sleeping, and the amphetamine salts just weren't helping. (Having a hard time sleeping even for me.) So I'm still at two. Until I realized that even though I don't feel stressed, I probably am, because I'm taking it out on my body. (Remember the shingles?) Anyway, so I added an anti-anxiety drug. Clonapin. Or something like that; I'm on the generic.

Anyway, back to the giving of thanks.

Actually. . .I will get back with you, because I am tired. So let's just put this at "to be continued".
