So I had a rather stressful day today. My mom was supposed to be running a short errand to get my sister's dog out of the pound for her (a whole other story in and of itself!) and I figured that since it was a short errand.. and I wanted to get out of the house, that i'd just come tag along. Well... it ended up not at all going like planned and we ended up having to drive around in circles going back and forth to finally get it all done. We even made a short stop at the high school trying to find my sister to get more information about where the dog was supposed to be and all that info. Well, we never found her there.
The stupid people in the office ended up giving us her schedule from the previous school year on accident.
: So of course we couldn't find her. I called her on my cell phone several times... and got kinda annoyed that she kept hanging up on me. Finally found out that she had been in class and accidently hit speaker when she meant to hit "off" lol. So I was shouting "Mariam! Mariam! Hello?! MARIAM!!!" to her whole class. lol. Wonderful. Well, somehow we eventually got the dog and got the dog back to my dad's house. This was from about 9:30am until 1:50pm. We were already worn out... and still had to race over to my midwife appointment. So of course she checks my blood pressure and yeah... it's not great. In fact, it's bad. Some number I don't remember over 90 something. Anyway... she's not happy about it. She starts sayin the P word and inspecting me for swelling. lol. It was ridiculous. At the end of my appointment I was sent to her waiting area for what I called "detention" for 15 minutes or so to "calm down" some. I wasn't allowed to talk. Blah.
So I calmed myself down as much as I could... even though I felt like I was being punished. And then she came over again and checked my blood pressure... which thankfully had gone down. Then she made me do a urine sample as well to check for protein in my urine. She bid me farewell with orders to get at least two naps or rest periods a day and to take it easy.
I thought I had been taking it easy! I've been going nuts cooped up in my house. Figures the one day I choose to get out i'd spike my blood pressure and freak out the midwife.
