The pattern of working, coming home and sleeping, and then working

again the next day isn't as strong as 5 years ago when I last worked

full-time, but I am losing maybe two or three nights to that pattern

instead of five. There is a big difference in terms of the work,

since this job is really enjoyable as opposed to my previous " real

work " .

My current dismay is a lingering cold/flu/? that I just was told to go

to the ENT for, since my case is too complicated for my PCP's

colleague I just saw tonight. My appetite is down, but I'm forcing

myself to eat to avoid any issues from that. I wish the doctor would

have just given me Tamiflu, but she didn't seem convinced it is the

flu (I have chills, fever (but not at the time of the office visit),

fatigue (not regular mito fatigue, somewhat different if that makes

sense), cough, lack of appetite). I can't get the flu shot

unfortunately

My thoughts are with many of you toughing it out. I was thinking

about cardiomyopathy, as there was an article in Discover magazine on

injecting adult marrow-derived stem cells into the heart causing

repair of the heart muscle. It was Texas Heart Institute, but of

course only a trial now.

RH,

Wow, you are ambitious! I'm glad you like this job (it makes such a

difference doesn't it?). I'm also glad your boss is understanding.

I wish I had some ideas for you about your flu--I just hope you get

well soon.

Yesterday I met with a career counselor. She seems great. I'm

doing some work from home (teaching for a correspondence course by

lying in bed while typing into my laptop) but I want to find

something that pays more per hour since I can't increase my hours

much and I need more money. She thought we could come up with

something. I'm interested to see what happens.

Good luck with your job!!
