So…life has been interesting lately. I’m able to type a little more now. I’ve been having trouble with my carpal tunnel among other things, so I couldn’t type much at all without a lot of pain or numbness. My hands/arms are finally starting to feel better which is good because I have a lot of work to do on the piano and on the computer. My pastor encouraged me to go ahead and try to get to China next year if I can instead of waiting a year. We shall see…I’ve been having trouble with my heart lately. (physically, not spiritually for all you sarcastic ones) It had been beating funny and faster than normal. I had to wear a heart monitor for a day and it showed that my heart was beating really fast at times for no reason even over 150 while I was sleeping. After tons of tests and tons of money spent, the cause is undetermined. Apparently my heart “sometimes just does that.” Nice….Well I have been stressed in the recent past and my blood pressure is suddenly spiking for no apparent reason. I’ll face some little irritation and feel like flipping out. Total body over-reaction. Most of the time I’ve been able to outwardly control myself, but inside I feel super out of control like a panic attack. No clue why. That’s not me…I’m avoiding caffeine; I wish I could avoid certain coworkers/students, but alas no such luck…
