swimming pool
If you saw the pictures Vanessa posted on Facebook, you’ll know that our condo has a beautiful pool and clubhouse. Grandpa enjoyed it when he was here. Bug and I go swimming twice a day. He has a nice tan going. Bug has melanin unlike the Cheetahhhhhhh so he does more than just burn to a bright pink.
Clive Cussler has a new Oregon Files book out. I downloaded it immediately. Clive is one of my favorite “junk” reads. By “junk” I mean that he’s not an artist or anything, but entertaining. Cussler’s books are all undersea adventures. My other favorite junk author is WEB Griffin, for WWII adventure.
I have been suffering from some extreme stress. Plus my stomach problems are back with a vengeance. I’ve taken the trouble to research my stomach this time rather than relying on a doctor. Sorry to say but I have never had much faith in the medical profession, ever since I realized about 15 years ago that most of the time they were just making hypotheses about a patient’s condition. And I can do that myself most of the time, fer chrissake. Now, with the stress, it’s a pity I have no valium. They’re a controlled substance here, unfortunately. Valium would really hit the spot with the stress. But I am taking other measures to reduce stress, such as making a point of not working all day long. I also float around in the pool a lot, which is good for stress. And regarding my stomach, I have adopted some dietary changes based on websites I read. Big meals get the stomach juices flowing, which is a problem for me, so I am eating small meals and snacking. I never have been a snacker so this is a big change. My stomach is reacting well to the change. I am also working on the hypothesis that my stomach is sensitive to fat, because this is common among people with my condition, and today I made a point of eating as little fat as possible. My stomach has given me no trouble today. We’ll see how it goes.
