I caught a cold, like a regular normal — make a person feel awful but you know it’s not going to really be that bad, but now it’s bronchitis or pnuemonia. Son of a buck.
I’ve been home for a week.
I read “Confessions of a Yakuza” — really good biography about an old Yakuza telling stories of his youth at the end of his life (1989).
I’m not reading, “The Mothman Prophesies” which people say is all fake, but it’s still super spooky!
I joined My Fitness Pal for the fellowship and to make friends. I joined Strava to track my workouts and to share my fitness. I cancelled Zwift, which doesn’t work with my trainer, and instead signed up for iFit and I really love their workouts. I was able to workout yesterday morning for just a little bit to try it out on the bike and loved it. I plan to do OMAD when I feel better, that’s one meal a day. Although I’ll probably eat a tiny meal at lunch like an apple and some tea.
We’re playing, “Yakuza, Like a Dragon” which explains why I’m eating Senbei and have read two books about Yakuza now. I think it’s my favorite game of all time.
I slept two days this week.
Not last night though, the cough was overwhelming – so it was up all night despite benedryl,despite robitussin and cough medicine. Up all night, and fell asleep for a bit at around 5am, so was late getting up feeding the kitties – although as soon as I woke and realized it I got up and fed them of course.
Anyway, I’m going to have a cup of decaf now. I hope I’m better next week.
I’m trying to cut out negative media and address just being lonely and isolated, get going again on exercise and eating right – bad timing for bronchitis but I think life tests a person like that, asking you, well are you serious? Yeah, I really am. I’m sick of being unhappy, nervous, stressed — and listening to people who are doomsayers and have been doom saying for 20 years but now their ship rolled in and all that. They’re bright people, and they might not be wrong, I just can’t live with that black cloud over my damn head 24/7.
