good things!
i must mark the good and the bad. yes, thats what this place was started about 4.5 years ago. to mark the passing of my life.
between yesterday and today 3 good things came to pass at the place i work. i can't go into it, but i'll just say that this place has needed this. yes, it has.
-----
each morning i wake up there is less and less crud in my body. i felt better this morning than i did the previous morning, and so on. i think i hit the worst last week at this time. i'm still terribly weak, but i'm hacking a lot less. i did hit a wall last night around 5.30, but then, as per my body, i woke back up around 10. i got to bed at midnight, waking up at one point worried about something, but slept fitfully from about 5 till 8. yes, 7 hours of sleep. this is good.
i'm on day 3 of the siberian ginseng. i don't know if this getting rid of the crud has anything to do with that or.. but i'll continue with that, and with the vitamin i take every morning. i need add back in the emergen'c, and iron in the form i'd been taking it -- not mixed in with other vitamins. some vitamins are better absorbed on a full stomach, others on an empty one.. iron is best on an empty stomach. i don't want to mix things.
----
what else? there's snow in the mountains. if friends go skiing on saturday, and i continue this upward march -- i'm going to skip the advocacy training and go skiing instead. we'll see. i'll cross my fingers.
----
one morning, early -- while its still chilly -- i'm going to go to cougar. i miss that place. i miss going up once a week with r. i need to find a new companion to do that with on a regular basis.
----
okay. thats it. off to work with me.
ps. i've really been craving paris lately. going back. those 2 days weren't long enough. yes, ms. i-loved-that-dirt-filled-adventure-in-baja-so-much! is wanting to go back to paris. i dunno why, but i do. will i get to go back before grad school? no, but hopefully i'll get to baja one more time. *cross everything on that one*
