kittydesade: An open book with the top edge smouldering on fire (break my staff burn my book)

So, now I'm on blood pressure medication. Yaaay. I get to take three pills a day now plus a vitamin for I don't even know why at this point. General health. My doctor fusses. Something. I did look it up, Vit B + folic acid does seem to be good for me in some specific ways, but in the meantime I'm going to sit and sulk that I have to take pills every day now. I didn't used to and now I do and I resent it. But on the plus side, all my pills are really fucking cheap, which makes me really fucking lucky. I think in total, if my insurance continues to cover my BC free of charge, it's about $24 every three months. I am really okay with that form of having to take multiple pills a day.

I've gotten some writing done but I haven't gotten any reading done in the last couple of days and I resent that too. And, oh god. Today started out like shit. Well, no, today started out decent, I got up, I stretched a bit, I went to shower, I came downstairs to report my blood pressure to the doc (which kicked off the aforementioned medication). The boy decided that while I was on the computer I could also scan this thing, send him this thing, get a refill for the cat's meds set up, and some other thing I forget which. And most of this took time I had meant to use for exercise, and by the way he wanted me to help him get the Mikey Cat to the vet. So I, being the idiot that I am, agreed. But he doesn't have an appointment or any frame of time reference and when I get downstairs, ready to go in five minutes, he doesn't even have the cat in the damn carrier despite the fact that we agreed we'd leave at $Time. So then he has to wash out the carrier and get the cat into it, making us later, and I haven't even had breakfast yet. And then we get to the vet and there's two other cats and two dogs and the whole thing ends up taking an hour that I didn't have.

(And then at work I got my aunt nagging me about my weight and I swear to god if I get that shit from her one more time, rare as it may be, I will offer to go out into the alley and show her how fit I am by kicking her ass up and down it.)

Work wasn't bad, it was mostly the usual twelve people call while I'm trying to process orders on the computer or pack boxes type of thing. It's annoying, and it's extra annoying given how frazzled my morning was, but it's the more normal type of annoying. I did also get my tablet and thankfully I had a lull after shipping and getting to the pharmacy where I could download all the install files I needed. Also it's about the size of my old netbook, which is definitely great for portability. I can shove it into my shoulder bag and go to con, and I don't even need to worry about charger cords that do or don't fit because it charges on a micro-USB. Thank you technology for finally catching up to the rest of us.

Feh. I feel like I should get more writing done, but I don't know if that's going to happen. I'm tired. And annoyed. And stressed, and maybe what I should do is just curl up with a book for the rest of the night and call it a night. I did get a chunk of writing done in most of the projects. I'll do more tomorrow. Meh.

I sympathize with the pill doldrums. When I started taking anti-hypertensives, the blood-pressure situation was literally an emergency, so I didn't balk at first. But in the past few years, as other meds have been added to those, I've realized that for the first time ever I miss a previous decade of my life: my twenties. And this is not because I could sleep well, had boundless energy, and was in retrospect a lot cuter than I believed myself to be. It's because I didn't have to take any damn pills at all. I know many people in their twenties have been using some kind of medication since much earlier, but I was lucky, and I miss it.
