A little update

Well, it has been kind of trying since last Tuesday when I got a filling replaced. All I can guess is that the combination of seasonal change, novocaine hangover, adrenaline hangover, and having used a lot of physical resources to deal with these things resulted in me having no energy whatsoever for days. I finally resorted to gorging myself on peanuts, which seems to have resulted in more energy. Interestingly, I didn't get super overheated during the night, which I think indicates that I needed those peanut calories. I am aware that when I travel I need to eat more calories, and I know that if I am going to do a lot of exercise, I need more carbs (apple). However, I don't think I've really accepted that I need to eat a lot more if I'm going to deal with something like going to the dentist. The problem, of course, is that I'm always happy to eat more peanuts, so I need to figure out when I actually need them instead of just gorging myself on them constantly and gaining a lot of weight (which is exactly what has happened many many times).

In other news, I'm not sure if I should be going out to tai chi, since covid is just completely out of control here. I don't think we're ready to quarantine ourselves again, but we are likewise not excited about being around a lot of maskless people (and nearly everyone is maskless).
