What Goes Up…
For a couple of weeks, I was doing a much better job than usual of staying motivated. I thought maybe things were finally looking up. But as usual, my hopes have been dashed to shreds.
I started having stomach problems a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t seem like a big deal at first, but it didn’t resolve itself. I took some medication that I’d taken before, and it didn’t help. Then I tried something stronger, and it helped somewhat. But when I don’t take the medicine, I go back to square one.
It has really worn me down this week. I’m beginning to wonder if the stomach issue is a sign of a bigger problem, because I’ve had some other strange symptoms. And I’ve been very tired – I wake up each morning feeling like I’ve been beaten with an industrial rubber hose all night instead of sleeping.
All this has led to a major decrease in productivity. I had high hopes for this week even though I didn’t have any looming deadlines, but as it turned out I’ve gotten very little done. As much as I hate to, I guess I’ll be making a trip to the doctor next week.
