Updates

Over the past year, I had improved my health by managing my sleep better, eating my oranges and occasionally vegetables, and having vitamins.  And somehow, I never really got sick, which was unusual for me.  This past couple of weeks, though, I’ve let my shopping weaknesses take over a bit, which induced higher stress levels and less sleep, skipped the vitamins, and even the oranges, and now I can feel the hold that something viral is starting to take on me.  At least it’s been awhile, and it’s an improvement.

Today I drove to work, noticing that in winter days were either grey, or if we were lucky, stark black and white. Today was black and white, at least.

Last night, as I went to sleep, I noted how clearly I was picturing the prof's face, and her smile.  And even today I thought about what might transpire if I called her, or dropped by her office to ask her out to lunch.

Today I put off replying to a request to go to a movie from a woman that had been interested in me since around the time I met the dark-haired girl.  She’s nice enough, and we do share some interests, but I simply don’t find her attractive, and she’s firmly in the “friends only” category for me, so I hesitate to choose between sending the wrong signal by saying yes, and sending the mean signal by saying no.

Outside of those things, the list of things that occupied the moments of my day was limited to work, family duties, and an hour of soccer coaching.

I will go to bed now, and try to at least work on my health.
