Shitty night and day, in a most literal sense.

Went to bed last night, had to get up almost immediately. Repeated this until I just gave up and stayed in the computer room... it's much closer to the bathroom, and in this case, seconds counted..

Otherwise, I didn't really feel bad. Some associated cramps, but not enough to be more than just uncomfortable. I just donno.

One possibility is that I've changed my diet a whole bunch. As i mentioned before, I've just about entirely cut out salt and caffeine... but I can't imagine why that would have ill effects.

Anyway, I called in about 07:00 and told them that I wouldn't be in today, then I lay down again shortly after Karen left and slept for a coupla uninterrupted hours. Then I got up and sat around until about 13:00 then I slept for another coupla hours and when I got up this time it wasn't out of urgent necessity, and I feel better than I have for a while.

Went to the store tonight, got some plums and looked at some other fruit, but nothing else looked good, pretty picked over. I also got some milk, some mint chocolate chip ice cream and some licorice. I'll save the licorice for a later date, though, for the obvious reasons...

O'yeah, and some cookies. "Chips Ahoy" to be specific... they were on sale, two packages for $5, such a bargain I couldn't resist.

Yeah, I need to start exercising.

The heat index was about 108F today, and it'll be around in that area the rest of the week. I'm ready for autumn, I am. I do need to mow the grass/weeds, though... it's looking pretty bad. And I'm on call for the next week now, but the likelihood of getting called is pretty low, one of the second-shift tech can do CTs, and the third shift one can too.

Well, it's about 22:30, and I need to shave and take a shower and try to get some sleep so I can actually go to work tomorrow...


Thanx for being here!
