2022-11-16, Wednesday - Energy 20% / Sleep 70% / Feeling 70-80%-ish (nausea same, shakiness better. The burning is down, but cold type & stomach symptoms up. Jab-sfx still a lot better than expected, esp. energy.)
Successes:
6 games of table tennis, as effortlessly as possible.
Found out how to get my notes & memo apps to self-organize even better.
“How Are You?” points to the core of our existence, no wonder if we are different that it triggers loads of thoughts and emotions at the same time.
Learnt:
Found an old note that 5-HTP can make you awake more, before it helps sleep - that’s another thing to note in case I try specks again.
