the beginning of the end...

so, let's just say my doctor's appointment didn't go as i was hoping for today. my weight was up, my A1C was up, my blood pressure was up, etc. the blood pressure was the one that concerned me the most. i have never had high blood pressure. so the doctor wants me to check it at home in two weeks and see if it is still elevated. if so, i'll get to start that realm of drugs then. so, hopefully i can make a few tweaks and get it down in 2 weeks. of course, my other theory on my blood pressure being up was having a 2:15 appointment; i got there at 2 and wasn't taken back to a room until 2:25. and i was probably out of there by 2:35. the classic get them in and out as quick as possible because you have a number you have to hit each day and this is the only way to do it. as i was driving home, i started to laugh and remember why so many people i have known have chosen suicide.

so, when the New Orleans Saints were down 16 going into the fourth quarter yesterday at Atlanta, i wasn't happy. but, it's the Falcons, so i knew the Saints would have a chance to come back. sure enough. the offense finally erupted. Michael Thomas caught two touchdowns. Jarvis Landry had a huge day catching passes. the defense wasn't great, but i'm hoping that gets better as the season goes along. the Saints won yesterday, 27-26. they play next week at home against Tampa Bay. hopefully, they will end Brady's career earlier than expected.

the Yankees beat Tampa Bay yesterday, 10-4. this was a huge series win for the Yankees. the lead in the division is back up to 5 1/2 games. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow night in Boston.
