Sick again

[Monday 3rd December 2007]

Well the title says it all, I have got the flu or whatever it is ONCE AGAIN... I am turning to be a total wimp, you could argue that I was never the first hero in the world, I do tend to cry on myself a little too much, but if before it was partly an attention seeking activity, now I am getting worried.

First of all I am gaining weight. I hate it. I am forced not to do any sport because I do not trust my knee a lot. My sister's husband is a doctor, his specialization is sport related injuries, so I am kind of waiting that they come to Florence so that he can take a look at the knee.... Then we'll see what it can be done about it.

Workwise things are not easy, so all in all I feel quite a lot of pressure on several sides and little light at the end of the tunnel.
I am really putting a lot of effort in the job at hand, but it will not be until April that I will know if that paid or not.
Well, I will have a lot to talk about once the Japanese situation clears a little. At the moment it seems as we finally reached some agreement, but payments have not started yet... Oh well we will see I guess...

That's it really, Chiara is doing her thesis so I am alone at home once more, I quite hate it to be honest... :P

I recently decided to give vitamin supplements a go again - I tried a couple of years ago, but almost immediately got out of the habit of taking them. I think the trick is to buy the sugary chewy ones that are more like sweets.

Other than that, I'd say don't let it get to you. Putting on a bit of weight is an inevitable part of getting older, but you have to balance that with all the wisdom you're accumulating as the years progress. You have to ask yourself, would you rather be slim and stupid or chubby and clever...?

At least that's how I rationalise it.

John, "slim and stupid". Stupid people don't realise that they are stupid. Ignorance is bliss.

How about slim AND clever? Well honestly I hate putting on weight but much of it is due to the fact that I cannot play football anymore, at least until I get a proper visit by a proper doctor... Hopefully if I can resume I should be able to loose some weight... I hope...
