Busy and stressy......
This week has seen a busy house although it mostly wasn't me.
Wednesday was M's birthday so Daughter and children were here Monday and Tuesday customising his present and making a very elaborate cake (have to say she didn't get much help from the children). And on the day we had a party lunch here for everyone.....which actually ended badly when O trapped his fingers in the back of the treadmill while it was running and Hubby drove him and Daughter to A&E where they spent nearly four hours! Thankfully nothing broken just very sore from friction burns on his finger tips, poor boy. We are always telling him to wear the safety clip and only go on there when an adult is in the room but at nearly six years old he thinks he knows better. A very tough lesson to learn.
I've been out every night this week and out again tonight which is lovely, however, the stresses come when the dear dear friends I've been out with are suffering from bereavement / cancer / depression / relationship issues / surgery - none of which I need go into detail about here - and all need lots of support and extra hugs.
Hopefully their problems won't affect my blood pressure as I've just been booked in to wear that awful BP cuff and monitor for 24 hours starting 10am on 1st April.....no joke, so who's the fool 😉

Marcus got given a blood pressure monitor as he was diagnosed with white coat hypertension :-). His blood pressure always was really high in the surgery. So he takes readings at home periodically. The alternative was the 24 hr monitoring but doing at home seemed easiest.
I also take my own bp at home and this will be the second time for the 24 hour palava, first time was about 8 years ago.....Have a "belt and braces" doctor!
The funny thing with him is that his readings taken in the surgery are also fine now. I think it is because he knows he has all the home readings and so isn't worried that a high sur
gery reading is going to lead to lengthy discussions and recommended courses of action that he doesn't think he needs.
The mind is very powerful.
