So….not much new.

 I’ve been playing a lot of World of Warcraft. Too much, really. It screws up all of my priorities and I get too obsessed with it. It ends up at the point where I keep telling myself I’ll do things but I accomplish none of them because I’m playing WOW the whole time. 

Things I want to do:

 

Write

Take pictures

Work on Spanish

Meditate

Read

 

I finished Life of Pi and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and both were very good books. They were both packed with humor even though both of the main characters were going through very tough times.

I’m going to the doctor today. I seem to be sick a lot lately. I think it has something to do with stress and not doing relaxing things during my free time, and perhaps something to do with my diet. I’m not eating horribly right now, but a couple weeks ago I was. I got a cold, followed by a sinus infection, followed by a problem with my stomach (feels like when I had a possible start of an ulcer) and a lot of heartburn (acid reflux) for no apparent reason. I try to reduce my intake of acidic stuff but I’m going to try something I read in a health magazine about alkalizing your stomach with certain foods to see if that helps. I’m also going to the doctor today about the acid thing. I don’t generally like going to the doctor, as I think modern medicine leaves a lot to be desired. They never deal with the actual problems. They just load you with questionable drugs instead of dealing with the dietary and lifestyle changes that need to be made. I hope I can make some changes on my own to try to minimize any intake of drugs I may need.

I just wanted to do a quick update. I’m still alive, but I have a sinus infection, and Í haven’t really been in an internet mood lately.

We had a great vacation in Cornwall last week. It was sunny and beautiful, and it was very relaxing for me. We took some pictures with our old camera, some of which I’ll post below.

I got my new camera the other day. It’s great, but I haven’t had much chance to get used to it or take many pictures. Hopefully I’ll get a chance during the long weekend and I can post some then. I’ll try to write more later about Cornwall and what I’ve been up to, but I have to go for now.
