Revamping...
I am tired. So damn tired.
This has been happening for awhile now. From the end of November '07, to be precise. Fever and asthma have been a part of my normal routine.. Just when I thought I was alright for a few days, I'd get fever again. It was horrible!
Finally switched to homeopathy last week. The results are slow, but at least I haven't had a fever since then. I still lack energy. It doesn't help that my ride to office in the morning, what normally shouldn't take more than 15-20 mins, has been taking a solid 45 mins in the last couple of weeks, what with all the underpass construction happening on Cauvery theatre junction etc. Now, it's one thing to take 45 mins to work when the traffic is constantly flowing. It's entirely another thing to sit for 45 mins in a standstill traffic jam. The choice between inhaling exhaust fumes from every other standstill vehicle and the carbon dioxide of 4 other people in a closed cab isn't exactly a very great one.
Enough of the rant. I'm determined to make some changes in my lifestyle. Here they are:
Hoping for the best!

Enough of the rant. I'm determined to make some changes in my lifestyle. Here they are:
- Change my sleep timings. Currently I sleep at some odd, vague hour - midnight, 0100 etc, and I can barely open my eyes at 0800. Yes, this really sucks! On some days, it is difficult for me to sleep before midnight. But maybe I should just keep midnight as my absolute deadline? I can surely wake up by about 0630 - 0700 if I sleep that much earlier.
- Change my work timings. Currently, I leave home at about 0915 and reach back anytime between 1900 and 2300. As far as possible, I do make my own lunch, so re-arranging my morning schedule without giving up the home-lunch will surely be a challenge. But yes. I want to leave home by 0830 and be back... well, early. I admit I find it difficult to leave early, but I want to shuffle things around and correct this.
- Get more exercise. I want to join salsa classes, but with my asthma, I think I need to join yoga classes.
- Set aside some time for myself in the day, but not too much of it. By time to myself, I don't mean time that I am alone but working on stuff (ie office/home work). I mean time that I can spend relaxing however I want - reading books, watching a movie, whatever. Does this include time with friends? I'm not sure. That isn't something that happens everyday, anyway. Obviously this is excluding family time.
- Diet? Well, I've been pretty careful with the diet in the last 2 months. I tend to eat food from home more often than not. Though, I tend to get lazy when all I need to do is cook for myself. I feel like - oh, it's just me, why should I bother? Sometimes I just eat fruits or skip meals altogether. Utter laziness more than anything else. But yeah, I suppose this is better than just eating junk all the time?
Hoping for the best!
