11/15 Final Update

My temperature is up a bit tonight – 99.1 degrees. I felt very tired today and I’m looking forward to getting a good night’s sleep. Although that seems to be an elusive phenomena. I’m not sure whether I’ll jog, walk, or both tomorrow morning.

This physical limitation is really starting to irritate me.

One of the things Steve Schneider mentions in his book is that after a while he took to weeping. He says that for no apparent reason, he would start to weep. He spoke to a psychologist friend and his friend gave him a model for what that was happening to him. I’m not sure I agree with the model his friend gave him. But I have noticed a similar tendency in myself.

Not that I have taken to weeping for no explicable reason. A mild emotional response to a TV show or a kindness from a friend sometimes almost brings me almost to tears. I don’t really understand why.

I would work on it, but it doesn’t rate really high on my list of things to do. For now it’s something I observer and ponder a bit.

Your emotions are all over the charts with everything that is currently going on. It's nothing to worry about. Besides, it is a normal reaction.

I don't consider it very normal for me. I think of myself as a pretty stoic guy.
