Day 55

I am delighted to say that my 2am trip to the medicine cabinet for my migraine pills resulted in a much better morning than I’d anticipated. 

I took a mile and a half recovery walk and enjoyed the nature. 

We are entering the week of bad now. My period should start tomorrow and I will probably be fighting headaches and anemia and all that jazz for a bit. But just now I’m ok and that’s good enough for me. 

I listened to a World Cup podcast. Smelled the skunk down by the creek. 

My evening workout was biking at the gym. My son went with me and we both tried new courses. His Wa in a spaceship and mine was in Egypt. 

I drank ok today. Not as much water but a coffee and a 16 oz smoothie and 68oz of water. 

I learned in my reading both that the English of the late 1500s often skipped breakfast as it was considered by some to be unhealthy, and that a standard dinner in a big house had 20 plus dishes per course!

And even a small 2 course meal always had a custard and a tart.
