Slice of Chaotic Life

The first day of my 5 weeks “writecation” has not been the success I hoped for. I put on my pulse watch to get some exercise done during work hours, when my pulse is lower. Except it was like +30-40. A sitting pulse of 90 and above is high even for a normal human. For me who usually has 60 or below at this time of the day, it was shocking.

My bowels went wild a couple minutes later, but I was not sure whether that was the cause of the high pulse or whether the high pulse just scared me shitless… Probably not, because over the next couple hours I had two more excessive bowel movements. In preparation for the second of the three, my heart did the drama queen thing where it goes as fast as it can, which seems to be around 170 these days. I am pretty sure it was closer to 180 last summer. Oh well. I survived (so far – it is now four hours later), still not sure it actually makes me stronger though…
