Happy Thanksgiving Eve to everyone
Since I'm not sure if i'll be tied up with family tomorrow or not I wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it.
I got a little bit of Christmas shopping done today with my mom. I bought my cousin's 2 sons Avengers action figures that I'm sure they'll love, my friend some really cute Pikachu socks that were on sale, as well as my friend's mom some Harry Potter socks since I remembered she was a huge fan. I also bought myself a few things. I found the cutest Pokemon tank top, and some really cute Pikachu slippers. I also bought a Darth Vader beanie that was only $3 which was a steal. I'll have to take pictures when I get the chance.
I finally got the check from that Insurance company, and it was what I did a little bit of my Christmas shopping with. I'm just glad to get a few gifts out of the way. It feels good.
As for other things I've been really stressed about the political climate around here lately. I decided to deactivate my Facebook page for a week or so because a lot of stuff people post on there triggered my anxiety quite a bit. I'm just so tired of all the depressing news everywhere about Trump's election, and all the horrible hate crimes that have been happening. Since it's the holidays I figured it would be best for me to take a break from the news, Facebook, and anything else that triggers my anxiety for a while. My blood pressure was actually up yesterday because I was stressing so much about political stuff. I've also been having some annoying side effects from my blood pressure medication. Mainly lots of sweating, rapid heart beat, and just feeling exhausted. If it doesn't improve I'll notify my doctor about the side effects. I'll probably tell her anyway since I have an appointment on the 7th of December.
Aside from that I've been doing good. I've been catching up on reading Red Rising, Game of Thrones, and other books. I've been also re-watching "Record of Lodoss War", "Kino's Journey", and a few other random anime titles. I watched a movie on Netflix last night called "Hush" due to a friend's recommendation, and it was really good.
I helped my mom make an apple pie earlier today for tomorrow. It turned out pretty good! I also helped her with some of her other cooking she had to do. Anyway I think I'm going to go do some reading. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday. :)

I really, really feel you about polics + social media. Right after the election I was basically living on social media and news sites, but it just got to be too much. Trying not to check FB right now, and actually unfollowed some the political twitter accounts I followed on election day. It's good to stay informed, but god, social media is just too intense. I dunno how people deal.

I'm sorry if I talk politics too much on twitter. I'm trying to get out of the habit and relax for what little time we have left before IT takes over.
I wonder of maybe some of your psych meds could be interacting with the BP med? I started seeing a new PCP and I think I'm going to ask him to reevaluate my meds because ever since I've been bumping my psych meds up my BP has been higher. I know you said you were bumping yours up, so I figured I'd mention it.
Apple Pie sounds amazing. I wish I had the patience to make pies and cakes again. Store bought ones are never as good.
