It’s my other aunt’s birthday tomorrow.
On Thursday I ate something that has been wrecking my stomach.
I took Imodium yesterday. I haven’t pooped since then but things are hurting this morning.
So I guess we will see what happens. I just tried to poop. Not much came out. Not sure if that means I’m so dehydrated I have no fluids in me or the Imodium is working and the water is retaining in me. Hope it’s the latter. I think it’s the latter.
Today we go to Hong Kong. My friend is organizing that part of the trip. I am excited for it. Guangzhou has been a successful adventure I think. Seen a lot. Learned a lot. Experienced a lot. Didn’t find a Chinese wife but there is always next time.
I am supposed to swim today. I took the last… four days off training. Too much diarrhea and dehydration to justify working out. I did still average close to 20,000 steps a day so that must count for something.
Yesterday I binge ate all these orange cookie things that we got from the family that hosted us in Changsha. They were so flippin’ good. I’m sad they are all done but also not sad because I think they added to the hurting of my stomach.
More water less food today I think.
The sun is slowly rising.
I guess this year is off to a good start. Working out, ran for office, working on family, working on myself. That’s a win I guess. Do I have a line on money coming in in the future. Not really. That’s really the only area of life not going so hot right now. Personally I feel good. Spiritually I feel good. Money wise, I’m starting to freak out but I think I just need faith. Trust the process and it will reveal itself to me… I hope.
I’ve slowly been collating all my notes together into a book. I am excited to further that project. At the same time I have begun to centralize all my photos into one app for the first time in 10 years, maybe more. I am excited for that because I will then have lots of archival footage from my life to create movies.
As we move into summer I am looking forward to the future. I do not know what it will look like but I am hopeful and excited.
I will continue to act in ways that nurture this feeling in myself. It’s a nice feeling.
Stay true to yourself out there.
happy birthday zia if you are reading this.
