All stressed out

Ever talk yourself into being sick?sick.gif

Well I have, and I think I'm doing it again. And I'm not exactly sure why.

Maybe it's because I'm getting stressed out over our trip to New Zealand, maybe it's because the weather is turning foul again (it's 39.9°F this morning), or maybe I'm starting to get stressed out again over all the idiotic (at least IMO) customers I have to deal with at work.

I actually thought I had come to grips with that sort of idiocy, but apparently that isn't the case, as yesterday was just "one of those days" causing "one of those headaches" that doesn't seem to want to go away.

Or maybe I am actually getting sick. I know I haven't been sick this winter yet, and it would be just my luck to get sick before our trip to New Zealand.

Whatever it is, I'm not planning on going for a bike ride this morning. I just hope I can relax enough in the next hour or two, to muster enough enthusiasm to go for a spinning class at 9 AM.

I think this happens periodically with a chronic illness. The subtle stress of worrying about what is going on inside our bodies catches up sometimes. I find myself sometimes feeling angry or depressed and not even knowing why. If I have to go out, I get angry at "all the stupid drivers" around me. I told my wife I thought I needed a vacation. She asked, "From what? You're retired!" I couldn't put into words exactly what I meant. I certainly hope you aren't getting sick, particularly before your big trip coming up. Perhaps that trip is just what you need to recharge your batteries.

Thanks John. I just got back from the gym, and I am feeling a little better right now.

I didn't do the spinning class, because I got there too late, and it was too crowded (couldn't get the spot or spinning bike I wanted) so I just did a short weight workout, and then ran on the treadmill for about a half hour.

I'll still wait to see how the rest of the day goes before deciding. :)

I hope you are feeling better. Jacob called me today and the dr. says he has high blood pressure! At 22, jeez!

So they are putting him on med's and he goes for more testing next week.

Maybe you should try yoga.

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the a...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...
