How to lower one's blood pressure:

1. Spend 8 days in Hawaii

2. Don't drink any coffee in the morning

3. Leave for the doctor's office a little early

4. Let all the stupid drivers on the road be stupid and don't let it bother you

5. Listen to Bob Marley on the drive there (especially "Three Little Birds")

6. Imagine yourself on this hilltop, in Molokai,
listening only to the sound of wind whispering through the trees
while the nurse is taking your bp reading:

Woo hoo! I don't need bp medicine!

:woohoo:

1. I think just having enough money to go to hawaii

would go a long ways towards lowering my stress level.

My BP is fine, though, thanks to semi-regular exercise. heh. :hi:
