it's a pretty day, I should be outside
May. 10th, 2006 10:20 amI'm waiting for
ez_mo to get ready to face the world (and the voicemail message I left her) so that we can go to the gym. (Alternatively, Ali, you could come over here and use *our* wireless while I take the kids outside in the garden. I have some yardwork to do and I imagine they'd like to run around.)
I'm on a normal human schedule again and I'm going to try to keep it. While I'm *happiest* being a night owl, I feel better physically when I'm diurnal. I do want to go for a long walk today and ride the bikes at the gym. I wish recumbents weren't so expensive--I'd get one and ride it on the path at Riverside Park every day.
My drive home entailed large doses of espresso. I limited myself to two shots yesterday, along with plenty of hot tea. Today, I'm going to go along on hot tea and the caffeinated vitamin water (Energy/Citrus), though if the headache doesn't ease, I'll grind some beans and have some nice, strong espresso.
I'm not in a CFIDS crash of any sort right now. My fibro is always in a flare, so I'm still fatigued and suffering undue levels of pain. I can exercise without undue trauma, though, so I'm doing that as well as I can, stepping up the activity weekly. It's a cycle and eventually I'll probably crash again, but I can enjoy the interim. I prefer to be active because then I can justify the pain as having a cause, even though I *do* know that nothing I'm doing is causing this pain, it's just there and there's naught to be done to stop it.
My allergies are bothering me to the point that all my lymph glands are swollen and tender. I'd suspect CFIDS, but there's no sign of a sore throat and I don't feel like I have the flu, so it's not an impending CFIDS crash, just stupid plant sex.
If I don't hear from Ali soon, I'll assume she's got too much work to do and can't leave the house. In that case, I'm game for a walk in the park or even a walk in the mountains.
eilonwy--are you busy today? If I don't go to the gym, I'd love to go for a hike. The poodle would want to join, of course.
