a successful fit

yeah, the title is grammatically correct.
-
this afternoon i had a really fast heart rate.
it is not unusual for me.
when at times i get lazy and exercise less i have this tendency to have a mild case of tachycardia.
tachycardia is one reason i exercise as much as i can.
but today i had my regular 40 minutes before lunch and dang, at 3 pm it just started.
-
it beats so fast that it takes my normal way of thinking away: i get weak and dizzy.
-
today i tried all the tricks that work: laying down, sitting, taking my attention (reading), i even felt asleep - but this time nothing worked and i got so very angry that i started throwing a fit.
i jumped and ran across the rooms as fast as i could and was crying quite like an idiot.
voila.
the heart rate went down to normal.
i think the trick was that my body was lured into thinking that the fast rate was due to the running and jumping and when i stopped these actitivies, the heart rate also dropped back to normal.
-
any similar experiences?

a new year

a somewhat lame post to recognize that there is 2013 already.
things on my to-do list for the year include, but not limited to:
(a)
finish some of the most important renovation jobs in the house.
we have been living there for 12 years, but the largest room was just re-painted completely around the turn of the year. now, after much work, we declare it ready.
as for anyone not familiar with how things work out around here i have to note that we do not take ANY loan from ANY bank.
as a consequence 1.) our house is ours and ours alone 2.) almost 90% of all jobs are done by us and friends 3.) most jobs take a loooooong time to complete.
but consequence #1 makes up for everything.

okay, go on ...

(b)
shed some weight and get into a better shape for the 25 years high-school reunion this summer.
wow.
hee-hee.
i have been sitting around the internet way too much lately.
like, in the past 5 or so years, and it's beginning to take it's toll.
either that or i am beginning to show signs of aging.
i don't know.

(c)
read and write more.
the most important issues about writing are dealth with on my Copper Moon blog, please visit and comment.
