treading lightly
Woke up this morning and found I had very little ability to stand up - no balance. Difficult to ride the bus when that happens so I called in sick to work. Woke up around noon and most of the day was spent doing light housework - dishes and laundry, that type of thing.
More work on the elections assignment when return email from the specialist arrived in my inbox requesting additional information about the problems with the electors list. Just trying to remember all the details from last election.
I found this article on weight problems enlightening. I know that when I had mononucleosis in 200/2001 that the weight just seemed to pile on. I wasn't eating much of anything, but I was so sick I also barely moved for at least a month. I thought when I became active again that it would come off, but it never really did. Then came the allergic reaction that caused short term heart problems in 2002 and more weight piled on again without overeating being the issue. Exercise at the time was the belly dance classes remember? That and walking. So I've known for sometime from personal experience that the common assumptions are wrong about it just being the problems of people who over eat and don't exercise.
I need to hear that justice is sometimes served even after people have taken shots for standing up for what they believe is correct. This story about two Canadian scientists who were shut down by our own government wiining a prestigious prize after continuing their work in Texas was encouragement enough. Anyway better go back to bed so that I can make work tomorrow. Good night dear diary.
