Having lived in my body for all of my life, I do tend to notice when it fails me. Sometimes I miss the small stuff like knee twinges and shoulder pain until they’re painful knee twinges and very painful shoulders, but other times I catch the minor symptoms before they get worse.
Like the sore throat and light head. That’s a sign to pack it in.
Life lately has been about making plans … my house, my job, martial arts, Dragon*Con, podcasting. It makes me think a lot about the framework I have built for my life. In business it’s called “infrastructure” and it’s something I’ve been building up in life.
