It's Tadpole Jones birthday too!! (And benedict cumberbatch!) Happy Happy birthday, Val!!

I was recently diagnosed with whitecoat hypertension, my readings at home vs the office vary so much not to mention the pulse. - my readings at home range from 110/55 to 125/65 - in the office they go up to 170/80!

Oh, I've heard of that!  Anxiety can definitely do lots of bad things to our bodies. Another good reason to stay away from doctors as much as possible! :-)

I was tagged by pope705 :

1) I'd never felt like I was part of a 'fandom' until I fell in love with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (on DVD, after the show was cancelled). I totally got into it, including reading (and writing) fanfiction. I ship Spuffy. :-)

2) I've been in three long-term, live-in relationships in my life, but have never gotten married (despite being asked -- was just never that important to me). The shortest was 6 years, the longest (Current one) is going on 20 years.

3) When I was in my early 20s, I went on vacation to Hawaii. I LOVED IT. If I hadn't been traveling with someone, I think I would've cashed in my return ticket and stayed. I cried the whole plane trip home ... like 12 hours!

4) I didn't attend a single dance during High School; didn't go to prom or homecoming. I was overweight and so shy that people thought I was stuck up, but honestly, I just couldn't talk to people -- I got all nervous and would say just the stupidest things. It was better for me to keep my mouth shut!

5) When I was a kid -- maybe 12 or 13 -- I would take my dad's car when he was gone in his truck. I'd get going fast and then slam on the brakes and turn the wheel and do donuts with it in the field behind our house, like I saw on TV. One time, it went up on 2 wheels and I felt like it was gonna roll over! That was the last time I did that, so thankful to get home in one piece!

I tag the following people for some random fact sharing:

Oh my god, I hadn't had watermelon in nearly 3 years because they're so expensive here ( a mini is like $9.98). and my mom managed to find a huuuuge one for $15; and I couldn't help myself. and thanks!

ah man, I had watermelon today and pizza; my doctor wanted me to do a carb up day before my surgery Friday; so I listened to him; it’s nice having a doctor who actually knows about keto, and approves of it. but back to that watermelon; so good.

The watermelon was HEAVENLY! I haven't had any since last summer, and have to say the carbs were worth it!
