What did you do this week (and weekend)?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Been going to my GP the past few weeks after my yearly blood pressure check a few weeks ago showed that my blood pressure was indeed quite high.
After some monitoring and further check ups I was placed on a daily dose of 1.25mg of Ramipril last week. I had bloods taken yesterday to check that the Ramipril isn't damaging my kidneys and another blood pressure check which showed that while my BP has dropped a decent amount its not quite where the doctor wants it to be so my Ramipril dosage has been doubled and I've been placed on the waiting list for a 24hr ECG to make sure there isn't something wrong with my heart.
It's worrying, especially at 33 years old, but I don't think there's anything wrong with my heart if I'm being honest. My mums side of the family has always had huge issues with blood pressure related diseases (with my own mum having suffered a stroke, that she survived, 6 years ago) so I reckon it's just dodgy genetics and the doctor just wanting to rule out any other conclusions.
I went and switched phone companies for myself and my wife just so I could get an extra 0.5% cash back with my linked credit card, so I guess I made some marketing person somewhere happy.
Had a massive row with a coworker because I've been under a good bit of stress (not all of it work related) and minor things that were easy to ignore just piled up.
On the good side, I've started the process of obtaining citizenship in the country I live in, as well as further schooling
Rented out a house. But the dumb part is that after 35 yrs of experience as a landlord, I should know when a tenant has too many red flags and I decided to take a chance on this tenant and ignored that quiet voice that told me (a day too late) that I probably didnt make a smart choice. Kinda annoyed at myself. I hope I get lucky and they turn out fine cause Ive been through enough bad tenants to never want to go there again.
