Took my meds in the late morning, then did my numbers (weight, BP, blood sugar). As you see below, my BP seems a little low, but I've had a string of similar numbers over the past few days (96/76, 99/76, 92/69, etc.), and the indicator's arrow is in the middle of the green zone ("normal BP") as though nothing were wrong. This machine is calibrated with the modern understanding that the classic 120/80 BP is actually high. But if you've watched a lot of YouTube docs, you know that there's a great deal of pushback against the stricter standards, especially for older patients whose BP is naturally higher. So who knows what to believe?

| The date is right, but the time is a few minutes off. |
Tomorrow: The weather looks to be perfect for a long walk. I still haven't decided: 33K from Yangpyeong to Yeoju, or 36K from my place to Bundang and back (or from Bundang to my place and back). It's probably easier and cheaper just to stay local, but the Yangpyeong-Yeoju route is so much more beautiful. Even with that big hill and that long, straight, boring section near the end. Ah, decisions, decisions.
I'll do my meds and BP tomorrow morning, but I'll also bring along another dose of meds to take during my walk tomorrow night, just to make sure I don't cark it on the trail.
One thing's for sure: If I start Tuesday night and do 36K, Wednesday's definitely going to be devoted to sleeping most of the day.
