Today was a high blood pressure day. I was within 8 points on the systolic number and 17 points on the diastolic number of needing to go to the emergency room. I am the age now that my grandfather was when he had his second heart attack. And almost the same age as my great-aunt was when she had her first stroke. So, I have been resting and eating carefully today, thinking about being dead from either of those possibilities. I took my blood pressure medicine this morning before the problem started. And I had pressing business to attend to today that will now have to be done next week. Today’s Paffooney is of me as a boy sea ghost in honor of my morbid thoughts. It was drawn with digital art tools, a previous drawing of a sunken ship, and a little bit of AI Mirror. My last BP reading for today was 152 over 81, still high, but much less concerning than before.
This one has ghosts in it too, but they are snow ghosts.
