Below, I may share about some medical things I've read about lately.  May not.  I want to be able to share useful info.  I'm not feeling well.  Don't know why.  It may have to do with a creepy/psycho encounter yesterday or from the intense heat/humidity or from having such a wonderful dream that my waking world (at least today)will never compare to. (It makes me think of the line in Moulin Rouge: "The greatest thing in life is to love, and to be loved in return.")...  I want to have a good attitude and be all smiles, but I also want to take a nap with Vix on my throat (I'm a big fan :)).  When I got to work this morning (way before I had to be) I laid down for 20 minutes on a bench outside.  Maybe I'll do the same during lunch?  I've read about heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and the newscasters have attriubted some of the recent violence in the area to the heat.  I guess it (hyperthermia) can make you hostile.  On a more positive note, the Montgomery County Fire and Service people took good care of people at at least one bus station yesterday.  They gave out bottled water.  It always makes me smile when people or groups do something for others that's not expected or required. :) :)

the main medical things I've read about lately are numerous things having to do with the heart; acid reflux and heat exhaustion.  There are definitely some interesting facts out there.  All I'll say for now is to be reasonsable.  Move around/ work out, but don't be stupid.  Don't push yourself to the point of collapsing or dehydration.  Take it one step at a time.  and drink water or some isotonic drink.  Coffee, tea and alcohol are all bad ideas when it's hot out.

In other exciting news, I had a great time talking with a good friend the other night.  It reminded me of how important friendships are and the kind of influence we can have on each other.
