Well there folks, looks like I am, well... un well?
Went to the doctors today... (okay back story) I have this thyroid condition...(ohh, note: Thyroid disease is a huge problem here in North America, and more and more young women (and men, although the majority of sufferers are women) are suffering without realizing it. There are a myriad of symptoms - that are really annoying - and are perpetually being misdiagnosed. For example: depression as a disease, as opposed to a symptom related to a disease. You take the antidepressants and well, they don't really work because its not those hormones that aren't working, its them thyroid ones. It is also assumed that you won't necessarily have a thyroid condition because you are in your 20's - only women in their 40's get that... but if you think that you may have it, don't be afraid to ask. All it is, is a little blood test to check it out. That's my PSA for the day.)
Yeah, so this thyroid condition, I went and got checked out today, you know, just to make sure all was working according to plan. I've been not behaving very well in terms of my health (staying up late, drinking more than I should... smoking the odd (ahem) smoke, and well you know how it is...) and not to mention the huge amount of stress going on right now... family issues (Grandpa's sick, everyone hates eachother right now), work issues (trying to find a better job), life issues (getting divorced... you know how it is...) school issues (yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah) - The doctor takes my blood pressure... and I am thinking 'Great, I am going to have such high blood pressure (note: Stress, smoking, bad eating habits = High Blood Pressure... possible heart condition...)' Well, no... actually my blood pressure is so low that I should really be um... well... almost dead?
Shit. I should really re evaluate what is going on here...
So today, I figure I would start working on my health (after this cup of coffee...). I haven't been doing as much Yoga as I had been in the past, in part because I am fairly tired at the end of a lond day of sitting on my ass, on the bus, at the kitchen table doing homework, on the couch... god... this is terrible. So, I have decided that I am going to get back into it. Of course I am not nearly as bendy as I was in the fall of last year... but I figure I should be able to put my head between my knees and kiss my own ass in no time at all.
The point to all this bleathering on is that I have put it down on 'cyber script' and am now actually pledging something to the world, or anyone who bothers to read this shit. So for you (and for myself, of course) I vow to do at least 15 minutes of Yoga for the remainder of this week, and work up slowing at intervals of 5 minutes each week, up to 1.5 hours like I used to. And I'll keep an update on the blog here. Of course you'll have to take my word for it.. but I think lying sucks so I wouldn't do that...
There, you can all get on my case if I fail at the Yoga commitment.
And in other news...
Not much. Life is pretty boring. I am moving on June 1st, somewhere hip and cool like South Main or Commercial Drive. I have an interview tomorrow. Sounds pretty cool. Maybe it will pay me enough so I can have a hip place to live, in a hip part of town. And buy hip clothes, and buy hip indie rock music.
Christ. I just don't quit do I. Alright. Ciao. Jeeze. I am even sick of my own writing, god only knows what you all must think.
