Day293 Checking in
I joked with a coworker sometimes saying I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. A joke because I am an early riser and I do well early in the morning than late at night. More importantly I don’t always sleep on a bed. Sofa or floor would do for me. I love…

Still sick
Day 134 I might have some type of bugs inside me. I haven’t felt well since the last hiking trip that was two weeks ago. Probably those ticks got me. I was sick though before the trip, so couldn’t blame on the ticks. I have been checking every day for the tell tell sign of…

Surprised
Day 131 I was surprised in a bad way when my family doctor told me I have high level of cholesterol in my blood and that I should take medication to lower it. That scared the light out of me. I thought those kind of medications are for old people. My mom takes those. Wait,…

Day 130 I ran last night and did not feel good afterward. I was coming down with something. Last night was very hot and I might have suffered heat exhaustion. I was shivering after getting back to the office. I did not have any clothes with me other than my running shirt. I should have…
