i dreamed i went to rehab last night - for caffeine. i remember thinking that people will think that i'm on big hard drugs by saying i'm in rehab, but i really just needed to kick the 'feine.
i've come to a lot of realizations lately, most of which revolve around the fact that i'm no longer a spring chicken. i really really DO need to watch what i put in my mouth anymore. i'm at severely high risk for diabetes, due to my family history. i've been experiencing acid reflux in bizarre ways. (i've thrown up three times in my sleep over the last month!!) my joints ache like i'm fifty times two.
i need to better myself, i do. and i shall.
just um... keep up with the support. DON'T HAND ME COOKIES. or ask me to ice cream.
kthx.
off to school now.

I know people that have the throwing up in your sleep thing. You can get a apecial wedge shaped pillow for that. Your doc might give you a perscription for the pillow and then insurance would buy it.
Ive been feeling old as well.
this reminds me that I should update the age on my profile.
I am old and bitter and it has nothing to do with age. . .
but tomorrow! for certain.
it's like my age just hit me all in one blow, too, it's weird.
yay for office work! ;) was i selling... my voluptuous BOO-TAY?
As for joint pain, I don't know what your diet usually is, but look up info on omega 3 fatty acids ... the stuff you find in fish, mostly. It's a natural anti inflammatory. Combined with green tea and the elimination of greasy foods (which are high in omega 6), you can probably reduce some of your symptoms. It's what I do anyway :)
Speaking of icecream. I've always wanted to go to an icecream social, I don't know whats done there and just what exactly would one do there besides socialize over icecream, I mean what do you just get a scoop and start to talk?

the travel agency i worked for in phoenix held 'ice cream socials' from time to time, whenever we hit certain goals or stuff. they would bring in stuff from stone cold and serve us up. what made me feel like a million bucks was when they accommodated me with sugar free ice cream during the period where any amount of sugar made me violently ill. what made me not feel like a million bucks was when they stopped and told me to provide my own ice cream if i wanted to eat with everyone, which made me feel almost as if i were being punished instead of just not being rewarded like every. single. every. other. employee in the company.
I was thinking about execise and I think that even if we do get in a good day of working ut I think that most of us need at least some kind of extra simulation because its that extra that stretches it out. You should try now! Don't wait for the eventual day to come, do it now. It can help calm you down and center yourself!

I'm trying to exercise more, and eat better, but when you go 15 hours a day, its trying. I hope you are able to find your balance soon! Cheers!
thankfully, the fact that i'm a pedestrian and have to traverse many hills to get to where i'm going throughout the day certainly helps me a bit. makes me wonder what i would be like if i WASN'T. i know how awful i feel just after a month's break from school, when i'm just working and not doing all the extra walking to school, too.
Us Americans and our silly phrases, it can get out of hand sometimes.
it's almost as if i aged five years in the last year or so - last year at this time, everyone thought i was 22, and now everyone guesses 27 (on a GOOD day!). granted, i'm 31, so i shouldn't complain too much, but still!
It's just so hard not to want to eat yummy food, dammit. And so hard to force your butt to go out and exercise everyday.
We all could use tons of support! Maybe we could try to super-support each other.
(btw I just want to whine. I'm at school now, and this printer is totally pissing me off. We have to pay 5 cents per page printed, and yet this computer won't let me print front and back. Others do, just not THIS one. DAMMIT!!!!)
i almost wish i COULD just go away to some sort of 'rehab' center and get my chi and health into a tight wonderful grip and then be released back out into the world, but i don't have that kind of money!
good luck (in retrospect!) with the printer! silly modern technology.
once I'm able to walk we could even drive over.. I used to love to walk around the blocks by your appartment.
It'd be fun to take you around to the different awesome walking places around here too.
There IS a bus stop RIGHT on the street by my apartments, so if you ever .. ya know.. wanna visit or .. whatever
it was so wonderful seeing you last night!
High blood pressure runs in my family and I still put seasoning salt or regular salt on my stuff. I keep telling myself not too but its hard.
thankfully my blood sugar and blood pressure are still both normal, but i also know that it's something i desperately need to watch IMMEDIATELY if i don't want to have all the problems that my mother is having now.
day two with little to no caffeine. yesterday was downright brutal, but today has been mostly fine - i feel oddly more alert than i've felt in a REALLY long time, although i slept so horridly last night.
