Ever talk yourself into being sick?
Well I have, and I think I’m doing it again. And I’m not exactly sure why.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting stressed out over our trip to New Zealand, maybe it’s because the weather is turning foul again (it’s 39.9°F this morning), or maybe I’m starting to get stressed out again over all the idiotic (at least IMO) customers I have to deal with at work.
I actually thought I had come to grips with that sort of idiocy, but apparently that isn’t the case, as yesterday was just “one of those days” causing “one of those headaches” that doesn’t seem to want to go away.
Or maybe I am actually getting sick. I know I haven’t been sick this winter yet, and it would be just my luck to get sick before our trip to New Zealand.
Whatever it is, I’m not planning on going for a bike ride this morning. I just hope I can relax enough in the next hour or two, to muster enough enthusiasm to go for a spinning class at 9 AM.

I think this happens periodically with a chronic illness. The subtle stress of worrying about what is going on inside our bodies catches up sometimes. I find myself sometimes feeling angry or depressed and not even knowing why. If I have to go out, I get angry at “all the stupid drivers” around me. I told my wife I thought I needed a vacation. She asked, “From what? You’re retired!” I couldn’t put into words exactly what I meant. I certainly hope you aren’t getting sick, particularly before your big trip coming up. Perhaps that trip is just what you need to recharge your batteries.
Thanks John. I just got back from the gym, and I am feeling a little better right now.
I didn’t do the spinning class, because I got there too late, and it was too crowded (couldn’t get the spot or spinning bike I wanted) so I just did a short weight workout, and then ran on the treadmill for about a half hour.
I’ll still wait to see how the rest of the day goes before deciding.
I hope you are feeling better. Jacob called me today and the dr. says he has high blood pressure! At 22, jeez!
So they are putting him on med’s and he goes for more testing next week.
Maybe you should try yoga.
