Back to the actual topic, my own health. Stress has still been pretty high. I find it hard to peel myself away from the news, and my mindfulness has started to give way to a touch of paranoia. I find myself breathing deeply because I worry I'm short of breath, though if I am it must be basically imperceptibly. In any case all systems are checking out fine. Well, not all systems, but I don't feel sick at all. No fever, no cough, and not even an inkling of pollen allergy. In fact I probably feel the best I have overall since I wrote the last two, an inordinate amount of back pain notwithstanding. That's to be expected when one is me. I've had worse days of musculoskeletal discomfort, at least it didn't keep me up at night. Speaking of sleep, I've been getting a ton. I'm pretty reluctant to get out of bed in normal times, but I think now I'm sleeping late to help cope. I'm also staying up pretty late, so maybe it isn't any extra. As an example of that paranoia I mentioned, last night I woke up unexpectedly and coughed maybe two times. Afterwards I stayed up for around 15 minutes breathing deeply to make sure I was doing okay. I was fine, of course, but it goes to show that I'm pretty stressed.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll do some yoga or something, or maybe I just need to lift more to get my stress down. I wish I could go to the climbing gym even if I probably ought to save money anyway.
However it goes, you can read about it on my blog assuming I don't use all my RC. I'm sure you all are on the edge of your seats excitedly anticipating the next one of these, so I'll try to keep some in reserve.
