One of the most frustrating parts of my life right now is that I have low blood pressure. It just started to bother me a few weeks ago, but it's getting to the point where I am getting very discouraged. What having low blood pressure looks like is basically every time I stand up, turn my head, walk up stairs too quickly, or really make any motion that isn't just sitting, I get dizzy and light headed. I feel completely useless because I can hardly make it through making supper on some days. I can't go for walks in the evening with Mitch to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. Some days I can hardly make it through a day at work. I'll find out this weekend if it means that I'm going to be unable to lead worship for a time.
So today I took the day off work, slept 11 hours, and am planning on having a rejuvinating day. I have a bucket of fresh strawberries that a dear friend picked for me, so I intend to put in a movie, grab a pickle (hey...low blood pressure! gotta keep my salt intake up), and cut/freeze strawberries while I watch. After that...who knows. Maybe just more movies!
Okay, I'm going to end this with things that I'm thankful for.
1. Mitch. He takes care of me, puts up with me, and loves me.
2. The beautiful weather outside
3. A job that understands when I need to take a day off
4. The fact that while I now have low blood pressure, I did not have morning sickness so I still think I have been lucky in this pregnancy
5. It is the weekend. Hallelujah.
