Like some others here, I'm looking forward to the third covid booster, too. Originally we wouldn't qualify until July, but since covid numbers are skyrocketing again in Central Europe, we can get it as soon as January.

I measured my blood pressure three times this morning immediately upon getting out of bed, as the nurse suggested. All three readings were close to normal. The highest of the three was 122/72. Much better than yesterday's 158/102! I skipped my afternoon coffee, had only a little taste of wine (not even a full glass) and took...um...2 Ativan, though not at once. I do believe caffeine and alcohol are culprits, but it's surely mostly stress and anxiety. Everyone here knows the dangers of severe and/or prolonged anxiety/stress. We must fight it off.

I have my psychiatrist appointment today. That's not anxiety-provoking. I will tell him the above, though.
