Watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. After watching it 6 years ago I still take it as gospel all you need to stay healthy is a none processed food diet, Daily 30-minute exercise to increase your heart rate and regular 8 house of sleep. Half way through the documentary he talks to a fat truck driver that had the same condition he has, was on tons of medication and was getting close to death. He offered his help and ended up getting a call from him few months after the documentary and flew out to help; they showed him start his new diet and exercise and at the end he lost 200 pounds was off all his medication. https://www.netflix.com/watch/70173634?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2C2862905a2d3f6004fa18f2682abc1899304a07a9%3A953a374bf159c436afba3e85883116b5ea04b6f9 |

So yesterday it was announced publicly, my family business was bought by a large publicly traded company along with a couple other companies like ours. The announcement hasn't taken much weight off my shoulders though. It is nice that I no longer have to hide it from all my co-workers and my kids and friends, but so far it hasn't changed much. There is some nervousness, some excitement, some dread, etc, but I still don't feel like this should be making my heart do gymnastics in my chest. I'm wearing a holter monitor now, so I will know in a few days if this is something that needs further investigation/treatment or if it is just some heart palpitations from stress. Last night sucked, I was tossing and turning all night, and having to be careful not to pull any wires off. When I am having trouble sleeping, the only position that helps me get to sleep is on my stomach, and I couldn't do that with all the wires attached. Of all things, I had an anxiety dream about money.. it was really weird too, something about having written a check for like $38k and it bounced and I spent the money on other things and didn't know it didn't clear until someone showed up at my door asking me to pay the bill... It makes me wonder if I forgot to pay someone recently or something. Money has been going out like water from a sieve, but I'm pretty sure I am covering all my bases. Stupid dreams... Found an apartment yesterday in a nice new and very modern complex, and it meets all my needs until the house is built and will allow me ample time to get moved. Met the buyers for my house last night too, and got showered in compliments for the work I've done to the house. And I have my first engineering meeting on the new house tomorrow, which I am excited for. Aside from the heart stuff, I am actually pretty excited and looking forward to the next few months, yet I can't help but think this heart stuff is all anxiety related. I guess my whole life I have experienced a balance - for every good thing that happens, no matter how much hard work it took to get it, there is an equally bad thing that has to happen to balance it out. Perhaps this health issue is the balance for the culmination of a lot of hard work. |

Someday there will be something to leave behind to my kids, but I'm not going to stop contributing to my 401k, and I probably won't be shopping for a Lamborghini any time soon, unless it is at a hobby store and the car is 1:24th scale. In the mean time, I'm still waiting on my new job title and offer. Still fairly chaotic despite months of planning. I know I have about 3 years of work ahead of me, but I'm not certain it is the kind of work I want to spend 3 years doing or how much they intend to pay me to do it, lol. |
