Each Day A Little Different

Recently, I have been going to bed anywhere between 9:00 and 10:00 pm and awaking around 7:00 to 7:30 am when my wife finally opens the door and lets in our bellowing Siamese Cat who has decided it is time for me to be up and not out-of-sight.  I rub him for a few minutes and he follows me around the house for a few minutes more expecting continued rubbing until I get my first cup of coffee and sit on the couch...  then, he goes out to the screen-in back porch where he will remain in a cushioned chair for the remainder of the day or most of it anyway...

It is at this point that I can basically determine what kind of day it is going to be for me...  a day of moderate energy, high energy, or no energy.

Today, I am experiencing a new category where my sinuses are draining some kind of yellowy, sticky mucus into my nose; my ears seem to be full of liquid like I just got out of the ocean water after a day of body surfing, popping open once in a while so that I could hear a pin drop then close back up...  my eyes ache and I feel as if I need a few more hours sleep to correct the situation but don't feel tired at all which can be a good sign for me.

There is no hunger inside my stomach even though I did not eat much yesterday and I attribute that to my sinuses and not to growing cancer which can also steal away one's hunger.  And, for the first time in months I have noticed that most (about 98%) of the bruises on my arms have disappeared...   I easily bruise these days because I take a baby aspirin each day for my heart and have been doing so for over 10 years.

Today also, there is no numbness in the tips of my fingers either which has been happening every morning for a good 10 years as well...  although, maybe not every morning like today.  I don't know if it is because of the way I sleep or if something else is causing it or possibly both contribute in some way of which I am not aware...

BUT...  all-in-all, this is a typical morning for me and I will sit here until 10:00 am watching FOX NEWS knowing that when hosts change at 9:00 am, it is time to take my Thyroid medication.
