stupid body

danaerisMy body has been hating me lately.
Lots of insomnia, although this may be my fault -- I was sleeping in really late, sometimes as late as 2 p.m. Now I'm trying to get up at reasonable hours (9 a.m., for instance), and my body is probably confused. It will take a while to establish a new biorhythm.
Meanwhile, chronic pain issues -- mostly my knees but definitely some hip, foot, wrist and elbow pain -- are making me grumpy. I'm taking my joint supplements, but they just don't seem to be doing the trick anymore. Maybe I just need to switch back to the old brand. So much for Costco. In the meantime, lots of painkillers, I guess? Acetaminophen is my friend.
Sleeping on a narrow couch definitely isn't helping, either. I'm sure that is contributing to the pain problems I'm experiencing.
I try to take care of myself, really I do!
On the positive side, I seem to be having next to no allergic reaction to Selene, the resident kitty -- in spite of petting her a lot and sleeping in the carpeted living room (albeit on a leather couch). Also, the cold I've been recovering from seems mostly in remittance (hopefully permanently).
Yesterday we wandered Melrose on foot and drove VERY briefly through Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. We wound up at a party for young MIT alumni in Venice Beach, where I successfully networked (go me!).
Today I'm planning on getting my butt onto public transportation and wandering around Hollywood... it'll only take an hour to get there!
