Message 1448

It has been a while since I took my blood pressure, so here are today’s readings: 143/80 with a heart rate of 60. These numbers are not too bad. Yesterday I watched Netflix DVDs of a BBC production called Portrait of a Marriage. It was a biopic about a woman named Sackville-West. I had never heard of her, but she was British aristocracy in the first half of the 20th century. She was a writer of some fame, but I never read any of her stuff. Despite all of her advantages and opportunities, her life was troubled and tedious to watch in spite of her open and bi-sexual marriage. If it were a movie, I would give it two stars. I feel good today. This morning I was reminded of something I read years ago that everyday life is putting it all together again from scratch.
