I haven't quit, mind you.

It's been a rough week.  I can't tell you, for sure, what the problem is or has been.  I know that I am barely keeping awake, getting to work, play, and exercise, has been very difficult.  My schedule is taking a hit too.  I had to back off, I simply didn't have a choice.

I won't quit though.  Medicine is back on track.  And I am working with my schedule in an attempt to salvage it.  I have looked at the swimming times chart, which allows for some serious fluctuation if necessary though too.  The goals are being pared to the most basic levels, with the hope that if I can keep to it I will pick up extra momentum and do a bit more.  I knew I was ill before I started this, I knew my history, I knew it not only could, but would fail.  The only question is how quickly can I get back up?  My real planned goal is to be back in the pool on Monday.  Further, to include getting to Mass if that is at all possible.  All other considerations are swept aside.  The same goes for Wednesday and Friday.  Actually, everything else is a secondary.

Mass, for obvious reasons, needs to happen when I literally can.  Swimming, while corporeal, is what I believe will actually allow me a chance to regain some health.  Medicine, as I see it, is a band-aid, splint, or cast.  It fixes nothing, and I don't think it was ever supposed to be a cure, for most things, but certainly for the heart.  I see it as a means to get me back to health.  Exercise is the only way to really attempt to fix the heart.  Now, with so much time as an untreated problem, I am not sure exercise will offer a cure either, completely.  I am almost certain, however, that if there is a cure, even if it is just a partial one, I will find it in the pool.


I did a bit of research regarding boiled eggs.  Now, I have personally used them after longer than is recommended, I have read that they last five days to a week, when the shell is left on the egg.  First, though, shelling cold eggs is not a very successful task.  I prefer to shell them as soon as they are cool enough to handle, after cooking.  And, as I have said, I have used older boiled eggs before.  Still, boiling eggs on Sunday, for use Monday and Wednesday, seems to be my plan.  Which gives me Friday as a good holiday.  I had forgotten to buy eggs this last week.  How fortunate, though, my neighbors brought some over!  Keeping up on things is easier with a boost once in a while.  Thank you much!

Hmm, I suppose I could get the light wired, the last of the clothes folded, and do the dishes this weekend though?  Later.
