I'm alive!

Hi Everyone! I know, I know, I have not been blogging. I've been fighting this stupid sinus infection and trying to remain calm. Why remain calm? Well, because when I went in to see the doctor about my sinus infection and ended up having x-rays and an EKG. It seems my blood pressure was sky high...which was a first for me. He put me on some blood pressure medicine and took some blood for tests. My cholesterol is normal so that is good and you will all be glad to know that my blood pressure dropped a lot when I went back today for all my results. I had to get one of those home blood pressure machines and I have to chart my blood pressure twice a day for the next month. It's not such a big deal really.
I decided its time to get serious about a diet. Let's face it, I'm lucky nobody ever gave me the nickname Chunky before. Anyway, I have decided to get the American Heart Associations cookbook and try out some new recipes. If I find a good one, I'll pass it on. Poor Sam is going to be pissy. I'm not cooking for him anymore, I'm cooking what I can eat...and he is going to have to suffer along with me. Well, I have always made him add his own salt because I'm not a big salt lover...but I'm eating more fish. Yeah, this is going to be an issue.
Anywhozits, I'm still around and kicking. I just have not been feeling very perky so the blogging had been put on the back burner. I never seem to have much to say when I have stuffy sinus issues. I'll try to blog more....
