Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 2:34 pm Mild cough...

I don't remember when I was last sick with a cold or a flu. Seriously...I don't think I got sick last year at all. Thanks be to ALL...This year, it started with what I thought was a pimple. I burst it open and what a nuisance the sore was. My lip was swollen for about a week. It was not a pretty sight and I was on holidays in Kamloops. I was very self conscious. After five days of visiting in Kamloops, the sore disappeared here in Victoria.

I continued to do my Hydrogen peroxide drops, vitamin D, oil of oregano and Omega 3 liquid oil. On Tuesday, I started coughing mildly. By yesterday, it was obvious I had a cough. I doubled my treatment and rested. I managed to do a 30 minute treadmill run in the evening and today I feel so much better. I am still coughing but it is not ridiculous.

My lesson is that if I take care of myself, when I do get sick, it will not hit me as much as if I was not taking care of myself. I knew I needed to rest and so I did and today I can jog from here to home. At least I can try.

Yeah, The British Columbia People with AIDS society (BCPWAs) are paying for my gym...imagine that...Mr. Green

The city of Victoria started me on the LIFE program for this year, 52 slots. I was done those slots by October. I would not qualify for the LIFE program as am independent of social services. Beginning of November, BCPWA paid for the gym. When I went to pay yesterday so that BCPWAs, can refund me, front desk there was saying that I had 11 slots left from the LIFE program. I told the lady that nobody told me that when I paid last month and I said I had come to pay on a specific date for which I must send to BCPWAs. They ended up giving me some complimentary passes.

If you are out there and could use a day pass, I have about 8 of them.

I really observe people working at front desks just to compare. I told the lady at the front desk at the gym that they have too many people giving different answers to the same question. Very frustrating. Because somebody should have noticed when I paid in November that I had 11 free slots. I let go the 11 slots and kept my records straight with BCPWAs. I told the lady there was obviously poor communication at the front desk. She replied that they have been having many new workers at the front. Oh well...just goes to show how well organized things are at the club.

Still no care card therefore no laboratory results to report.

I will survive...

Cheers!
