One of the happier consequences of, ah, the episode as we shall now call it ("pardon me while I have a strange interlude"), is that I can barely drink more than my first cup of coffee in the morning. By strange coincidence I had decided earlier in the week to start limiting my caffeine intake to two cups (down from my usual three), so this is kind of an unexpected bonus. See, I can be Pollyanna-ish and unreasonably optimistic if I want to be.
I also wanted to cut down my food intake, and eventually increase my exercise regimen. Right now the latter is down to near zero, as it has been since roughly February, due to an assortment of injuries that just wouldn't heal. (Getting old sucks.) Just about the only exercise I'm getting these days is walking, although I'm doing plenty of that. As for the food, well, I'm back to my one standard sized bowl limit, and I'm using my chopsticks to make sure I don't wolf it down too quickly. (I find this trick works especially well with things like soup or custard cream.) Even though I normally love food to excess, "the episode" has curtailed my appetite considerably. Chalk up another benefit for nervous breakdowns.
I noticed that the portentous previous blog entry was never followed up. It wasn't meant to foreshadow Saturday's entry, trust me. (How could I have even suspected things would go as dramatically pear-shaped as that? Although in hindsight there were signs... but I digress.) There was supposed to be some meaningful exposition in between then and now.
Anyway, I don't mean to keep you in suspense because I do intend to finish that tale eventually -- it's a good 'un! -- but I really don't have much energy or enthusiasm for it at the moment. Especially since Digital Village Idiot is leading the War on Data again, stomping out any remotely useful bits and bytes of throughput at every opportunity, fearing that the Westminster student community will eventually wise up and realize what a thoroughly useless sack of shit their halls ISP is -- and then post it to the interweb for all to see.
