Working from home today.

I started taking medication for hypertension last week.

I’m relatively young, thin, I exercise, I eat okay, I rarely drink, I journal. My life is busy, but not as stressful as it could be. I suppose in that case I have only genetics to blame.
I have an appointment with a cardiologist next week, but I doubt they’ll find anything abnormal. I’ve had many EKGs, they’ve all been normal. Fortunately.

Sometimes it just so happens that you are the statistical outlier.

I wonder in how many other ways I am, besides having an identical twin (although this isn’t all that rare compared to other things).

Still, I like the thought that my body houses bacteria and viruses that are unknown to science (really, it’s true for everyone).
