As I sat down to write this morning my back seized up and sent one of those shooting pains from my lower back and up my spine. It wasn’t pleasant or fun. I did not enjoy it. I exclaimed this vocally in no uncertain terms and my wife asked if I was ok. I told her I was fine, I think.
Really I am not sure anymore. My body has so many minor aches and pains that I sometimes forget to notice them. When I eat I get heart burn so bad that it feels like my heart is stopping. My fear of having my blood drawn has made it so I have no idea if the cholesterol medication I am on is working and my blood pressure only goes up.
I am trying to be more healthy. I have been taking a few supplements that are seeming to help. I feel like they’re helping. I feel better since I started taking them. But that sudden dose of pain from my lower back was like an old friend stopping by to kick you in the nuts. Real fun that.
I also think I didn’t dodge the bullet of the kids’ illnesses. That it just hit me in a different way. I have been sleeping a lot longer and deeper over the past couple weeks. I’m not going to complain about the deep sleep, but wouldn’t mind less late mornings. I barely have time to do anything.
I wouldn’t mind a long workday today in the office. I do need to really spend the time and dial down on a few things. We have the foundation for a good strategy to grow the business and I am looking forward to carrying on with that momentum.
Other than that I got nothing going on. I would like to go and eat my breakfast. I made more Thai red curry and discovered that the spiciest part was the new paste I used. It is really good and has such amazing depth of flavor. I enjoy it and it makes a good breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
