So far, so good! I had a crushing illness this past week. I was out of commission for at least five days. Battlestar Galactica and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy were my saviors. Weird combination, I know. The illness was a repeat of a previous illness I had maybe like, two and a half weeks ago? Extreme fatigue, an ache behind the eyes. Except this time I had a two-day fever and developed a bad cough. I'm still coughing, but I'm at work. And I played Ultimate last night for about two hours. I think I'm in the clear. Hopefully.
(Speaking of work. I'm editing a video about bear-resistant trashcans at the moment. Tantalizing, eh?)
I went and had a beer/late dinner with a friend last night. Hanging out with them, I realized how full of anxiety they are. I'd say one thing and they would get offended and actually strike back with a rebuttal. Since when is friendship full of rebuttals? I feel like I'm slowly drifting away from them, but I'm okay with it. If a friend isn't making you want to be the best person you can...well, is it worth holding on? I think I've been holding on for too long. This person has done and said things to me and the people I love that are so hard for me to forgive. I want to be a forgiving person, but when events keep happening over and over again, it gets difficult.
Ever since I adapted a healthier diet by cutting out all animal by-products, my thoughts have been clearer, my energy has peaked, and I'm able to make decisions easily. I work for the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, and while my job is more active than others, there are still times when I'm sitting in an office for hours. Even though it's only been eighteen days since I became a vegan, I can feel the effects! I'm eating more vegetables, fruits, and drinking more water. I don't really "crave" anything, unless it's vegan mac n' cheese or a massaged kale salad (YUM).
On "day 31: vegan" I think I'll have a party. Cook up a bunch of good food and invite people over.
