Pic of the day: "Are you not feeling well?" You wouldn't either if you suddenly found yourself on the wrong planet, as happens to the main character in the anime Girls Bravo. But that's not my problem. (Though you sometimes have to wonder...)

Short: Small chest pains

These are not at all like the chest pains you confuse with heart infarct. They are more like muscle pains, like for instance back pains, although I am happy to say that it hurts less than the back pains do (when I once in a while have those). The pain usually comes after I have been sitting for a while, and they increase sharply if I inhale deeply or arch my back. After I get up and walk a bit, the pains disappear. Certainly seems like muscle pains to me.

I am pretty sure I did not have these pains for the first 46 years of my life. I don't know if anyone else has them, either. It is certainly not something people talk about. Then again, the pain isn't so intense that you would normally seek medical treatment. It's just disturbing, I guess. Another sign that the warranty has expired, and so eventually will I. But if this was the worst to happen, I guess I could try for 47 more years. I have certainly not come to the years of which I must say: "I have no pleasure in them."
