Back, and sick
Aug. 7th, 2007 10:44 amI'm back safe and sound. Parts of the week away were awesome. Other parts were incredibly difficult. It was a great opportunity for growth and introspection.
Unfortunately, I seem to have come down with something; I suspect that my immune system is quite compromised from eating like crap all week. My lymph nodes are swollen and sore, my throat hurts a bit, and I'm nauseous.
Last night I skimmed the LJ posts I've missed. If there was something in particular you wanted me to read and respond to, please let me know so that I can revisit it.
I also plan to respond to all the kind people who have emailed me or commented on some of my more anguished posts, and I guess to post about the perspective I've gained over the last week or so.
So what now?

-Email the learning disabilities people at Ryerson to make an appointment
-Work on my social issues in therapy (fear of judgement, difficulty coping with disagreement, being judgemental)
-Work on my sexual issues in therapy
-Take my pills at the same time every day
Physical Health
-Get myself on a sleep schedule that makes it possible to test the effect of nap therapy on my alertness while working
-Eat small but frequent protein heavy meals with good healthy carbs
-Consider organizing a weekly Insulin Resistant dinner group that rotates location/chef or perhaps works as a potluck
-Continue going to my dance classes, including the lindy hop
-Try making it to a pool or rollerblading once or twice a week

-figure out what I'm doing about furniture, workstation, etc.

-delegate a buttload of stuff to someone else. yay!
TorontoPoly

So, lots on my plate. Plus socializing, of course. Hopefully the sick will blow over soon and I'll feel better.
I do feel better now that I've had some water, some OJ, and some scrambled egg whites. But I'm definitely still under the weather.
