Note To Self: Do Not Skip Exercise

Yesterday I felt like the crap someone scrapes out of the bathtub drain before taking a shower. Pretty much all day, in spite of the Adderall and Effexor and numerous doses of Theraflu and Claratin.

Today, I feel definitively better. And I haven't even taken Theraflu...which I will definitely need if I am going to be able to haul a server into a rack. The difference? Exercise.

Yesterday was the day that I see my therapist, which means I have to leave at 3pm to race downtown, which means I have to be at work at 6am. In spite of how much I love to work out, vigorous exercise at 4am doesn't work for me. So Wednesdays I usually skip it.

Evidently this is going to have to change. And since my neighbors would have something to say about me exercising while it's still dark...it looks like I'm going to have to change my appointment.

Helpful Depression Tip Of The Day: This stuff is great. It smells like citrus and something else soothing, so it's not obnoxiously morning smelling. And waiting for it to dry forces you...me anyway...to slow down and calm down, which helps me stave off the depressive feelings. And no, I don't work for Neutrogena either.
