So, soon after my last entry things went downhill. I chalked it up to a busy week, but in truth I got fairly normal amounts of sleep. On Friday night (late), last night, and about an hour ago I was hit with sudden, extreme, fatigue, sometimes accompanied by a headache. The same thing happened at least once over the previous two weekends. This is ( Read more... )

On Saturday, I lamented to mrsmetallian how I almost always feel a little crappy in some way and am rarely 100% physically comfortable. I'm usually a bit sore and/or a bit tired and/or my sinuses are bugging me and/or my guts are feeling noticeably too bloated or too empty. I don't let those things stop me, mind you, but it makes relaxing difficult and ( Read more... )

Upon our return from California on a red-eye (albeit first-class thanks to free upgrades) flight we were feeling weirdly productive and did a lot of cleaning around the house. We even cleaned out the fridge.

I had intended to go to the gym on Monday, but ended up working late.

On Tuesday, I came home a bit early to get re-inspected by the energy ( Read more... )

Today was the first day in quite a long while when I didn't:

- Have Big Plans

or

- Work Late

or

- Travel

or

- Have a Hangover

or

- Do a Ton of Yard/House Work

I actually slept in and didn't rush out the door. I got some exercise (I've been horrible about working out for a few months now). I was invited to go out and play some Shadowfist ( Read more... )

...just been very busy. Spent an incredible 4-day weekend in Seattle for mdrnprometheus and jennifermuppet's wedding, and have since been working late (gah three projects!), unpacking/cleaning, and fussing about various things such as ( Read more... )

On Friday night I stayed up later than I'd intended, but did get 8 hours of sleep. Yesterday we cleaned a bit and went to the gym...but after the gym, I was pretty much useless for the rest of the day and went to bed early.

We both slept in a fair bit this morning, I more than mrsmetallian. A second trip to the gym (we were a bit behind on workouts) was ( Read more... )

I left my regular glasses at work, as I'd put on my prescription sunglasses to drive. Felt weirdly vulnerable walking around the gym without them. Shit is further away at the gym than at home or the office!

Do I have a left bicep, or did someone just stuff my upper arm with straw? WTF, my left shoulder and left forearm don't punk out like that ( Read more... )

Maybe that Claritin isn't going to work out after all. I feel slightly better about an hour after I take it in the morning (or maybe I just imagine it, or maybe it's just the result of standing up for a while) and I haven't had any eye problems yet, but by evening I have a runny nose, congestion, and a lot of sneezing.

I went back to the gym yesterday to lift weights for the first time in over 2 weeks.

I decided to try an actual weightlifting program instead of my usual "do 150-200 push-ups and crunches, then do 3 sets of 6 reps of various arm and shoulder exercises, reducing weight as needed" three times a week, adding some additional back and shoulder stuff on ( Read more... )

Walgreen's was selling 30-pack bottles of their store-brand Claritin for 1/2 price. One of these bottles is free with a rebate. At 1/2 price, it's considerably cheaper to buy 3 30-packs than one 90-pack ( Read more... )
