So I went to the doctor this morning and it seems I do have a build up uric acid, therefore gout. He kept telling me to lower my intake of alcohol, drink more water, do more exercise, eat less fat...and if you ever knew me, I already do these things.
The fact I got gout because I was exercising... also it seems my medication is making me faint, so I need to lower the dosage, and I've been missing out my gym and taekidokai classes, this does not make me happy. :(
He said to rest, so here I am at home again. I'm glad I've got heaps of sick days and a stable work environment. I may even get more pay with this salary shuffle thing. Also, seems there will be some structural changes at my work which will alter my position slightly. Possibly be less responsible and more reactive to more people.
I've been watching lots of StarGate: Atlantis. I'm up to season 2, in which I needed to buy a $35 DVD player to watch, because my usual one is too sensitive. I've noticed less features on the cheaper one.
I also finally managed to watch Season 3 of (the new) Dr Who... here comes the drums...

So two weeks ago, I was in taekidokai class and we did some freesparring and I must have kicked someone and managed to hurt my toe. It hurt a little bit over the evening, but I slept well. In the morning, nothing, all good again.
I played D&D 4 on Saturday and went to WW for Father's Day. Came back Monday, went to work Tuesday and gym'd in the evening.
Wednesday morning, I wake up with a screaming pain in my toe. It drove me crazy. Not crazy enough to stay at home, so I limped around work for the rest of the week. I think it got worse. I'm stubborn like that because I expect it to heal in a day or so. It didn't. So I managed to get a doctor's appointment Sunday morning, and he thinks I have gout. Hilarious. And no, I don't binge drink or really drink alcohol much ever. I often think saying 'I don't recall the last time I drank alcohol' is a good answer, though. I suspect the doctor thought I was a typical male between 18-40. :P Anyway, he issued me some medication (indomethacin) and get a blood test, which I finally managed to get yesterday. My body got a bit faint and I needed to recover. I feel HEAPS better now.
I'm also suffering hayfever. Great.
[ recovering, slowly. ]
Sleep [|] [2008 08 22 14:05:46]
For some reason I've been fighting sleep more recently. I mean, sure, there's occasions when due to food reasons, or excitement, I find it hard to sleep, stay asleep and feel rested in the morning.
Last night was considerable disturbed. I think it must have been due to going to taekido class again and my body was all rev'd up. I mean, we went to bed like 9pm or so. But I couldn't get to sleep and instead I got up around 10pm and watched an episode of DrWho Season 3.
However, this particular episode had a 'to be continued' and it was very exciting, so I had to the watch the next one. Almost midnight I get back to bed and sleep okay. I planned to wake up early, so we could run about doing stuff, including eating breakfast and going red. I managed to do all that in sufficient time, but I was not naturally awake. Instead I actually had an energy drink. It has been some time since I've done this, because I kept getting headaches drinking CocoCola. I suspect now it's Coke that is the problem, not the caffeine.
Anyway, my point was I now have 2 cans of Lemon V. Yes, yet again a lemon flavoured energy drink has arisen. I recall drinking consistently Lift Plus. I wonder how long this one will last...

Why so serious? [|] [2008 07 27 18:55:08]
Hehe, yes, I finally saw Batman: Dark Knight. It was great. Had excellent comic references, great story. More than I expected. And The Joker worked.
See it.
I've also now watched Season 1 of Lost. I just have more questions. Fortunately I do not have to wait for Season 2, unlike Heroes. Or Season 4 of BSG.
But am I doing anything? I'm just filling in time. Occupying myself.
Surviving. Content. Okay, sure, I bought myself a car, slowly paying that off. On the other hand, I discovered again that my working conditions are awesome. I still know it.
I've had this cold thing all week, and Rina had Monday off with me. That was a good idea. Going to work for the rest of the week was not. But I was busy. Week 1 of Semester 2. But now I might take another off... relax more...
