Isn’t it weird how much a bad dream can leave you feeling completely out of it when you wake up? I had a dream last night/this morning about having a panic attack. I don’t normally suffer from panic attacks but in my dream, I had a bad one, and since no one around me seemed all that concerned about it, I’m assuming that to mean that they were used to the attacks.
I have no idea what any of it means. Probably nothing, I just find it interesting. 🙂
I was reminded by seeing the throw-away remark by Robert Scoble in a long post about the need to get some excercise to help deal with stress, that I haven’t really discussed our exercise plan here lately. So, by way of an open letter to Scoble, here’s an update:
Earlier this week I headed to my doctor’s office, slight case of tendonitis in my knee, and had a lengthy discussion about what health screenings and tests we would need to run now that I’ve turned 40. I go back for those in a few weeks, but of course, much of the discussion was about…

Here, we aren’t in as much of a need to evacuate, we are further from the coast and the storm surge, but it’s still going to be a long, dangerous couple of days. So, we are spending a lot of time, and both mental and physical energy, preparing to possibly be without power, for needing to leave if the house is damaged, and so forth. It’s a lot. And that is on top of all the mental energy necessary to deal with large COVID outbreaks we’ve had in recent weeks, all of the recent events in world news, and the various personal and professional challenges that we are also dealing with.
Running on fumes is a really good description of how I think most of the entire state feels today, and yet, there’s a storm coming that we are all going to have to deal with, while everything else just continues on as well.
Last night I found out that two of my younger brothers got engaged over this past weekend, including my youngest brother, which makes me feel very old, but serves as a useful reminder that time flies. I was almost 16 when he was born. My mother was very sick after his birth and my dad…
As I’ve discussed before, I’ve spent years working on simply being better instead of making new year’s resolutions. I figure that’s it’s better to concentrate on the goal of being a better person every day than it is to make resolutions that go away after a few weeks. I’ve worked, with some success, and continue…
