The heat + perpetual air conditioning has been exacerbating my chronic sinus swelling, and my energy levels have been low for the past two weeks. Last night my lungs screamed more than usual while exercising, and the proof of diminished oxygen flow finally convinced me to ask Kaiser for antibiotics. Here are some recent topics of contemplation from my (temporarily diagnosed) rhinitis infested brain:
People need time to grow, but some people are too selfish or scared to ever change. Over the past two years, I have developed noticeably more patience for people "in progress" and less for people who are disinclined to humbly seek more of God's character. Now I am working on deciding how close to stick to people who are not growing lest I become stuck with them. (Yes, bad pun.)
Is it important to keep up with political events? Knowing that I will research the candidates and propositions on my sample ballot, how would society benefit from my being informed year-round? What would I have to sacrifice to become informed?
The amount of time I spend on weekly personal upkeep is absurd: teethbrushing, shampooing, deodorant, exercise, diet, physical therapy, washing, clipping, dressing, shaving, moisturizing, stretching, hydration, supplements, etc. etc. etc. Sometimes it is hard to believe that being unhealthy is more work in the long run. If I am this run-down in my mid-twenties, what appalling amount of attention will my body demand when my years have doubled? How do people cope? No wonder age is a full-time occupation.
What makes Clif's kids bars so addicting at night? Maybe the chocolate brownie flavor not-so-disguised by the whole grains? Clif is so clever!
Today I am grateful for organic cat food, American Airlines only charging $26 to change a return flight, ikat print, sick days, gluten-free bread, and the letter K.
