I’m a pretty light sleeper, at least that’s what I have been. I started taking a magnesium supplement and I think I am spending more time in the deeper sleep levels. I haven’t had to take melatonin or valerian root in months.

I sat at the table with some older men during the coffee hour. So I got to see what sorts of conversations I am going to be engaged-in in about 15-20 years. Today’s topic was Colonoscopy. They were talking about that crap they give you to drink that rooters your [...]

My eyes have a tendency to get a bit too dry it seems. I didn’t notice it as much before I started wearing contact lenses. Now that I have been wearing them for 90days I find that I need to moisten them more often. So I just put 4 drops [...]

There is some sort of allergen shit that is in the air right now. Symptoms are a mild dry cough, a throat feeling that is not exactly sore but feels knocked around a little. I have started sucking down Theraflu to see if that helps. Next I’ll start firing garlic [...]

I’ve managed to lose 30lbs since getting away from the property management business. I realize now that I don’t tolerate extreme stress very well. I am using the shakes from the hospital diet program I was on 2 years ago. But I cannot afford the complete program this time. My [...]
