Things going on in my mind (from Wednesday Morning)

* Dorian, Dorian, Dorian. Trying to restrict myself to a few sources of information. The National Hurricane Center's Dorian pages [here] are the primary source for most reporting. Skipping the middleman minimizes the time on chatter.

* The cursed employer wellness plan. I am thinking of opting out of this year's wellness plan -- i think they require using one particular lab. That annoys me no end. The whole thing annoys me, but this might be the final straw. I think i used the lab once for one of these wellness plans in 2016 and that is why that year's data is prepopulated in "Virgin Pulse". Dear Sir Richard Branson -- really? Do you have to use that brand on EVERYTHING?

* Blood pressure. The above got me thinking about some of the times i feel brain fog and my blood pressure and maybe there's a problem there. Looks like "brain fog" can be a symptom of high blood pressure. I've ordered a monitor. I am sure i could have gotten a monitor that was independent of any app, but i have enough data in Samsung's S Health that it will not be a significant footprint change to record there.

We just got the edge of effects from Dorian, a little wind and rain. Not far to the east power outages and school closings. Still, just nuisance weather. It's closer to coast in the flat coastal plain where the reported tornadoes were (are?)

So far all the BP measurements have been normal so yay ,,, and then i'm left with trying to figure out the pressure in my head. Christine gently points to stress.
