  * up 6:45; W=197.8; drugs, nose, teeth; light, dishes, coffee
  * Burned _Hearts_ beta CD; listened to about half of it on the Mac; left it
    on Colleen's chair arm when I went to work.
    ! accomplished.  I think it helped lift my mood a lot.

  & spring rolls from the Big Beige Building next door
    chicken, shrimp; spicy peanut sauce.  ~ $5.  Yum!
  * far too brief a walk, but I don't trust my left knee.
  * call to set up appointment with Susan Rothman 
    (receptionist) Heidi said Susan's been on leave since Nov; return date 
    unknown.  So took what I could get.  
  * call to set up appointment with Catherine Reed
  ! lethargic.  Regressions at work over the weekend.
  % AHA:  overload = stress = cortisol.  Does this explain trembling, tensing, etc.?
    except that syndrome all comes *after* stress.
  & made salad after dinner.  Blue cheese and avocado

  * laundry, dishes
  % 9:15ish 2 naproxen, in hopes of averting another knee lock-up.

A pretty good day -- burning a CD and leaving it on the chair for Colleen to find when she got up made for a really good start, and almost made up for the code regressions that Seth put in over the weekend. Not quite; I spent most of the day being pretty lethargic. What the heck was he thinking? I'm letting him fix it, if I can. Damn it, the stuff was working when I left on Friday!

Wondering whether overload -> stress -> cortisol explains some of my symptoms. Except that the trembling and so on mostly come after the stress these days.

The YD made baked beans for dinner; I made a nice salad afterward, with blue cheese and avocado.

Interesting. I hate liquorice, though.

I don't think it's usually adrenaline I'm reacting to, though I could be wrong about that. And I know what low blood sugar feels like -- this is different.

yeah, I hate liquorice too, it's just handy as an adrenal tonic :-) if it is post-adrenaline reaction it doesn't feel like normal hypoglycaemia because it's low blood sugar plus the other effects and it mimics true shock very closely - but diagnosing over the internet is pretty chancey :-)
