Home sick today, had to cancel clinic.

I woke at 4:30 with a violent headache and neck pain. Nausea when I stand up and diarrhea and full body sweats. Triggered, I am afraid, partly by exercise. I am frustrated that I am still working half time so I swam Monday for the first time in a year and a half. I swam 400 yards, slow. Ten laps in our 20 yard pool. I used to swim a mile two days a week. My daughter's swim team swims 3-5 miles six days a week. They all have muscles like seals.

I was ok yesterday, though ate more than usual. I ate dinner at five, set an alarm, slept on the couch and then went rather groggily to chorus at 7. Home and bed by nine.

So it's looking like my fast twitch muscles still don't work. Or I have to build up painfully slowly. It makes me crazy impatient.

Well, I'm not dead and no one has blown up our town and my kids and niece are fine. I am finding it hard to focus on Iron Noder after the latest world violence. So going to State to watch my daughter swim and driving though rain for two hours and feeling emotional all may have contributed.

Hope I can work tomorrow.
