Son of a buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been home for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read &#8220;Confessions of a Yakuza&#8221; &#8212; really good biography about an old Yakuza telling stories of his youth at the end of his life (1989). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not reading, &#8220;The Mothman Prophesies&#8221; which people say is all fake, but it&#8217;s still super spooky!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I joined My Fitness Pal for the fellowship and to make friends.  I joined Strava to track my workouts and to share my fitness.  I cancelled Zwift, which doesn&#8217;t work with my trainer, and instead signed up for iFit and I really love their workouts.  I was able to workout yesterday morning for just a little bit to try it out on the bike and loved it.  I plan to do OMAD when I feel better, that&#8217;s one meal a day.  Although I&#8217;ll probably eat a tiny meal at lunch like an apple and some tea.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re playing, &#8220;Yakuza, Like a Dragon&#8221; which explains why I&#8217;m eating Senbei and have read two books about Yakuza now.  I think it&#8217;s my favorite game of all time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I slept two days this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not last night though, the cough was overwhelming &#8211; so it was up all night despite benedryl,despite robitussin and cough medicine.  Up all night, and fell asleep for a bit at around 5am, so was late getting up feeding the kitties &#8211; although as soon as I woke and realized it I got up and fed them of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m going to have a cup of decaf now.  I hope I&#8217;m better next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to cut out negative media and address just being lonely and isolated, get going again on exercise and eating right &#8211; bad timing for bronchitis but I think life tests a person like that, asking you, well are you serious?  Yeah, I really am.  I&#8217;m sick of being unhappy, nervous, stressed &#8212; and listening to people who are doomsayers and have been doom saying for 20 years but now their ship rolled in and all that.  They&#8217;re bright people, and they might not be wrong, I just can&#8217;t live with that black cloud over my damn head 24\/7.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"728\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-2.58.36-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-2.58.36-PM.png 728w, https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-21-at-2.58.36-PM-293x300.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption>They follow anyone around whose doing something interesting and try to help.
