Where did I go?
Had a long few days.
Friday night, I bought a new Kayak, the other one I have is a great fun boat, but not good for long paddles, so I picked up a Day touring boat.
Saturday, Off out with friends, left home at 7am, started paddling at 10am, didn’t get done till 5pm! 7 hours is a long paddle. The new boat is an easy tourer, paddling in a straight line is easy, but it doesn’t go round corners very well. I think I just need to practice the turns differently.
Saturday evening, we all went out for Indian, I’m not a huge fan of Indian food but everyone else loved it. The restaurant sucked though. It took them 90 minutes to bring out appetisers, after we complained, then another 45 minutes for entrees which were wrong. While they were bringing out the bill I complained to the manager, the manager talked to the waitress, who then came over and gave us a mouthful.
I was tempted to not pay the bill, but the kitchen really hadn’t done anything bad, so we paid for what we ate and I was nice enough to leave the waitress a penny as a tip. It is more than she deserved!
Sunday was spent prepping the Caravan for a trip next weekend. I like camping, I like the fresh air, and this is the first time we are going to take the caravan out without a hookup. We are going to do a 2 day Kayak trip with a camp in the middle so it should be fun.
Yesterday, however was not fun. I woke up at 1am with the worst headache I have ever ever had. I was seeing stars, and feeling like I was going to throw up. I took 3 Tylenol and it went down a little and I got 1 hour more sleep. The headache wouldn’t go away all day so when I got home I took my Blood pressure. 204/150, I think I should be dead. Popped 2 BP pills and the headache went down to a dull normal headache and my BP went down to 160/110. I don’t know what caused the spike but it can’t have been good for me.
I am supposed to take Diovan for the Blood pressure, but I don’t like pills and have been really careful about what I eat. Looks like I might not have a choice any more, I might go and see the doctor about some other pills though, reading about Diovan it has some side effects I’m not thrilled about. The worst is what I have now, a very spaced out feeling, almost feels like I’ve had 1 to many glasses of wine. I feel fine just floaty.
Guess floaty is better than murderous headache.
