I can't stop gaining weight these days. This week, I think it might be due to having eaten take-out twice (some rotisserie chicken and some sashimi with a salad poke bowl). I am fine with this though. I sometimes feel annoyed that I can't stay in the normal BMI range for my height; I am always hovering in the 25-overweight zone. However, I am not really trying.
My blood pressure changed a lot this week. Sometimes in the low-optimal range, sometimes in the high zone (130s systolic). It is high when I do not get enough sleep and I am not tired enough go back to sleep. Last night I had to get up frequently because of my very heavy flow (my period started after a 27-day cycle, yay!) but I guess I was able to sleep enough because my BP was 122/77. Not too bad. I know in the US it is considered as pre-hypertension, but elsewhere on the planet it is considered as normal -- optimal would be under 120 systolic.
I finally received my masks this week! And I also received a long-awaited call for a pelvic MRI for my fibroids! My appointment is in a Montreal-area hospital this afternoon, on a Saturday! I will have to leave home at least 2 to 3 hours before the appointment to make it. That hospital had a COVID outbreak a few weeks ago, so I will make sure to wear a mask before coming in! I will get my results -- by phone as an exceptional measure -- early next week! At least I will know what's up with my fibroids! If I am not eligible for a uterine fibroid embolization I will have to accept the results.
It was supposed to be sunny today, but it is so cloudy right now that it is dark and looks like it's going to rain! I hope the sun will come around for when I drive! Thankfully I take vitamin D supplementation, because the sun has not been around very often these last few days!
In Canada, it's Victoria Day weekend -- named Patriots' Day in Quebec, not very monarchy-friendly, haha! In any case, it's a 3-day weekend. Even though I work from home, the fact that I don't have to work on Monday feels great! Have a nice weekend everyone!
