During my sick call appointment this morning, the nurse wrapped a band around my arm to check my blood pressure. She told me the reading was 128 over 72. My pulse, she said, was 54 beats per minute, which she said was low. She asked whether I exercise regularly, then said my vitals were fine when I told her my running schedule.
Up until this past year, I never attended sick call procedures. The need for allergy pills requires that I go now, and it’s probably good that I do so I can keep these records of my pulse and blood pressure.
This morning I read an article about the high expectations industry watchers have for electronic publishing. Amazon’s Kindle will soon have a competitor from Barnes and Noble. Those devices may generate billions of dollars in publishing revenues. My work, I think, will sell well in this arena, and once I finish the manuscript for Earning Freedom, I expect to write new content specifically for this market. I want to have a lot of content ready for distribution upon my release.
An acquaintance asked whether I will continue this writing schedule after I finish Earning Freedom. I expect to continue this schedule until administrators release me from this sentence. I will go to bed before six each evening, and begin working between 1:00 and 3:00 every morning. Today I began at 1:17, and by the time I put my work away, I wrote through page 220 of the manuscript.
I ran 10 miles in the morning. My running tally is now 1,974 miles over the past 223 days.
Tomorrow I’m visiting with the lovely Carole, and I’ve been thinking about the kiss we’ll be able to share at the start and finish of our visit. Those thoughts have carried me through the day.
