I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like my doctor.

History:  I’ve had allergies all of my life.  I have had sinus problems all my life.  I’ve spent way too much time around various kinds of smoke in various situations.  Consequently, I’ve developed one of the most congested and infected sinus cavities on the planet (at least, by my estimation).  I routinely have problems sleeping and, […]

Influenza

People tell me time and time again that nausea and other forms of upset stomach are not part of influenza.  What I really think they mean is that being sick-to-your-stomach is not “having the flu”.  I just had two of the worst days of my life.  Between the nausea and other unmentionable stomach pains, the […]

Activity

Think I’ve figured out why I haven’t enjoyed using the gym so much. I haven’t been swimming. So, now I’ve swum 1000 yards three times and I’m oh so happy. It feels so good. I’m beginning to think I need to up the ante already, but I am unsure about how much. I used Swimplan.com […]

Future, Past, and Present

Everything I’ve ever done with myself has been a complete waste of time. No – I take that back. It’s just that very few of the things I’ve done have had a positive contribution to who I am now. And most of the things I’ve done that sucked have been highly significant parts of my […]

Active Slacking

I feel like such a slacker since I quit my job. But I feel so FREEEEEE! What could be more blissful than not having to be anywhere – ever! And I have never been so productive at home. Did you ever go through a pile of papers to find some that were dated to eight […]
