Autumn Crickets and My Heart
So I thought my web traffic had dropped off considerably. I know I didn’t blog a lot last month because of the new job and everything, but man, it’s been a wasteland – crickets, tumbleweeds, and the like. I just asked Aaron how to look up the stats over time. I don’t usually do that, but it’s just been so eerily quiet. Anyway, I looked all of this stuff up, and I was convinced that November was this dry period unlike no other. Then I realized that I was comparing a month that only had 4 days in it so far to other full months. My brain wasn’t working right.
Anyhoo, we’ve been a little more social lately, which is a very good thing, I think. My parents were here last weekend. I had a little health scare – a tachycardia while waiting in line for brunch. My heart rate jumped to 150 beats per minute then gradually made it back to normal over about 45 minutes. As a result, I’m wearing a little Holter monitor. It’s kind of cumbersome, but it’s only for 24 hours. They collect that much data, then analyze it to see what’s up. Turns out this happens to people more than I realize. My response has been to cut back on a few of my medications that are notoriously blood pressure increasing. I’m also going to look into seeing if I can join a yoga studio. That’s always good for me in like a million ways.
The Halloween candy is gone, and soon, the leaves will all be fallen from the trees. For now, the fall colors are lovely, and the sky is still often blue.
