soundtrak: feist :: past in present

i didn’t realize what was going on until today. i thought i was just overworking myself and wasn’t eating as regularly as i should. i wasn’t getting enough sleep even though i can’t sleep more than 5 hours a night anyways.
my workout on sunday was bad; i stopped running a couple of times. it felt like i didn’t have enough energy, but i waved it off. driving back from work yesterday, i felt a wave of dizziness (i can’t tell T about that one, he’ll worry too much). i fell asleep in front of my computer yesterday afternoon, but i really didn’t think too hard about it. i woke up at 4 this morning to run, but i just couldn’t get out of bed. driving to work this morning, i was just tired; weary in my bones tired. when i picked up MD this morning, she complained she was tired too, so i just thought it was a tuesday thing. by the time i got to my desk, i was exhausted. i could barely get any work done.
of course, this is when i remembered that i haven’t been taking my iron tablets lately and my anemia was probably flaring up. when i realized this, i looked back on the past couple of days and realized i was losing energy this whole time. i didn’t heed the warning signs.

i didn’t particularly want to make this a psa, but i urge you all to listen to your warning signs. don’t always trust what your doctor tells you; you know your body the best. when things start to change, be on it. the key to good health is prevention. even if there are no signs, get yourself checked out. you might be feeling fine sitting there and your blood pressure/cholesterol is through the roof.
ehh. anyways, i left work a little early and i’m gonna put in an extra hour of sleep and start up on my supplements again.

also, new august playlist is up; see the ‘music’ page and/or click the radio.blog to the right. lots of feist in there. i really like her album that came out recently. songs that stick out especially are ‘gravity’, ‘brandy alexander’ and ‘intuition’; i feel like i’ve been in those situations… like i am in those situations right now. then to round it out, some mylo: in my arms (popular comp. remix) because i always gotta dance. enjoy.

peace.
