I think I need to expand what I said last time.
I have a very confusing personal thermostat. I have come to the conclusion that ice cream is not a good thing for me to eat at night. I love ice cream. I think where the cold isn't as concentrated it doesn't seem to have an effect. The first time I felt like I was freezing I remember I had had an ice cream bar before bed. The most recent time I was was at my nephews graduation. He went to get everyone some ice cream just before bed. I thought and felt like I was freezing. When my sister touched me she felt like she was cold. I was burning up. I still thought I was cold. I had ask for extra blankets and my teeth were chatting so hard I thought they might break. Something was not right. Easy answer no ice cream at night before bed.
I think I have caused some concern for some people. The way I wrote my last post some my think that I am depressed. I may have more cause to be depressed than most people but I'm not. If I do get depressed I will be sure to tell someone. I worked as a social worker before my stroke. I would like to think that I could hide the fact that I am depressed. I probably couldn't. This one friend said about me "If Nathan were dishonest he'd tell you." I don't know if I'm like that so much any more but almost.
I don't take to many prescriptions. I have a few supplements also. My wife found out about the supplements for me. Thanks honey. The one is called D-ribose. It's a natural substance that occurs in the food we eat. I have mentioned it before. If I were going to eat food that has it I would eat 19,000 almonds a day. I like almonds but if I ate that many everyday I would have to be rolled around everywhere. I would be a serious fat boy. It's good. If I don't have it I can be lacking a lot of energy and I can't do anything.
The other supplement I take is Citicoline. It is amazing. It's taken mostly by people that have memory difficulty. It really helps with the numbness that is constantly on my right side. I ran out of the pills once and before the new shipment got to me I had all kinds of problems. I was very stiff and falling down. All kinds of no fun. The substance is made by our bodies from the food we eat. It's water soluble so it would be hard to get to much. It is approved by the equivalent to the FDA in several countries.
Both of them are amazing.
Now this is my shameless bit of promotion. I use these vitamin/supplements from Le-Vel. Thrive. Very awesome stuff. If you want to contact my sister, my wife or her brother or sister they can help you out. I will say that I never thought It would work. Oh how wrong I was. It works.
I went to a family history conference this weekend. I guess some things I do, like this blog, would count as family history in some circles. I guess I am more interested in genealogy and finding out about the people from earlier. I found out about apps for your phone for a few different things. So there is a lot out there.
I am trying to get some painting done. I wish I could do it, but it is beyond anything I am capable of right now. I can get all the stuff to do the painting easy enough, I just can't paint. I have had my kids help, the young men from church. I don't have much painting that needs done, I just want it done. If anyone knows a decent painter let me know.
I have been so tired from my pneumonia that it brings back bad memories of having it before. I don't talk because it can take a lot of energy. I do talk but it can take so much of my energy that I just don't do it. There have been days were I can feel fine until I start talking. I end up with such an energy drain that it can be tough after. I will still talk a lot but afterward I have to rest and recover. That's no fun.
The last thing I want to say is about my idea that I try to live by. "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." It sounds like a great idea. I guess there are people that think that I just hold in everything that is disagreeable. Sometimes I do. More often than not I am just listening to things. If people want to think I'm thinking horrible things about them they can if it makes them feel better.
I think that's about enough.
