Currently listening to: how u been? – Natalie Jane
It’s just my luck
Running into you on my night off
And you’re with your new girlfriend that you love
It makes me nauseous
That she got what I wanted
And all that I can do is bite my tongue
What is one thing you don’t like about your life that is outside of your control? One thing within your control?
Prompt snagged from: TCMC
Politics. The instability, the constant tension, the decisions made by people in power that ripple down into the lives of ordinary people. It makes me deeply uncomfortable. What I can do is cast my vote, stay informed, and make sure my local and state representatives hear me-loudly, persistently. It’s not much, but it’s something.
And one thing I don’t like that’s within my control? My discipline around health—especially when it comes to exercising and eating right. There are days I just want to give in, skip the workout, eat whatever I’m craving, and not think twice. But with my anemia, I have to stay on top of my body. Gaining too much weight can put pressure on my cardiovascular system and I don’t have the hemoglobin reserves to carry extra weight, which could develop into congestive heart failure.
Side note: One of my assistants asked me about a medication. If you have high cholesterol and you’re prescribed a statin and your doctor says to take it once daily with no specific time, people tend to get better results when it is taken in the evening. Why? Because your liver makes the most cholesterol at night, when you’re eating less. But if you work the night shift, then mornings might work better, right before you sleep. Â
