Yesterday morning, I had a sugar hangover, and it was difficult for me to get moving in the morning. As I used to wake up ALL THE DAMNED TIME with some level of brain fog, I have many strategies for waking up my brain and getting moving in the mornings. I’ve actually had to use […]

Just a quick blog this morning as I’m getting a really slow start this morning. Went out to lunch with one friend yesterday, then went out to dinner with two other friends. Ate way too many carbs, and have been paying for it this morning with a sugar hangover. Headache, brain fog, inflamed, yada.

This morning, for the first time in many weeks, I thought about doing pushups while I was doing my stretching. I didn’t do any – I want to have full voice for two days before I get back to working out. (And my voice is still slightly rough this morning.) That I felt strong enough

Since I had a little bit of energy this afternoon, I walked around the property and took a few pictures of the wind damage. So lots of pictures to follow!
I’m feeling better, finally. Probably back to where I was exactly one week ago, when I went to the dentist. I still don’t have all of my voice back, and I still tire easily. But I wake up with thoughts and ideas instead of just being tired. These are the danger days. If I’m not
