When I left the Cookie Company, I rolled my 401k into a Broker account. I do not deal with the Broker directly because I have internet access to my account. The broker must be feeling lonely because he sent me a “nominal gift”. It is a ballpoint pen. When you click it on, the tip lights up so you can write notes to yourself in the dark. I guess it would be useful in bed. When you are told all the things you are doing wrong in bed, just click the pen and take note. Call it the “passion pen”.
I am still doing my exercise routine but last week my leg tightened up. The pain is just above the heal and below the calf. I’ve experienced this before and it usually is in the Spring of the year. My theory (I’m never short on theories) is that I got dehydrated and my leg cramped up for lack of water. I know. I know. I should take more calcium. I should see a chiropractor (I saw a really good one and she said I had a sore ass muscle or was it a psorus muscle). The easiest solution is to drink lots of water and stay hydrated. The question is “what are my good sources of water”. I’m told soda doesn’t count. How about water- melon? Does coffee provide the body with water? Maybe I could take some salt tablets because they help the body retain water. Possibly drinking water while exercising would help. I’m told all food contains water that the body extracts and uses.
So you can see my dilemma. I am doing something to cause my body to dehydrate and I need to change something.
Maybe I should stop exercising.
Oh well! It is Memorial Day weekend and I don’t have time to think about my petty problems right now. I need to celebrate the contributions that all veterans made to keeps us free. My little pains are nothing compared to those who sacrificed their lives for us.
Enjoy the weekend.
Love,
Dad
