MN Covid - deaths are staying down but cases and hospitalizations are going up / back up. The fear is that the deaths are going to start climbing. Nation wide it is still big news every day. More and more stores, areas, states are requiring masks and people are hot on both sides of the issues.

BB had an eye appointment today and found out she has cataracts ... the Dr is trying to console and she is saying 'Thank you, thank you.' Now she knows why her sight was going bad and knows there is a way to improve it. So she has another appointment on Wednesday this week so we will be in town at least that long.

My blood pressure had been back up all but the first month since they added a new medication so I finally had a phone visit today. Dr won't adjust my meds unless I fail my DOT BP check. So I decide to go in today to get a bench mark reading for them. They will not take my readings. Top number is 114. It has only been lower than that once in two months and that was at home. Usually I'm 20 points higher at the Dr, but sometimes it doesn't go up if I am not seeing the Dr. White coat syndrome? I decided to wait to schedule an appointment for my DOT until Wednesday when we know what is happening with BB's eyes.

US - 108

IA - 3

MN - 1

WI - 6 (mostly center drive mixers)

Only six are over 1,000 miles.

At this point I am not calling the local company, if they call me we will have to decide if we want to work. BB's appointment is at seven something Wednesday morning so I know she wants to get to bed early (er) than she usually does Tuesday.
