Caffeine cut (decaf sucks).

Start back at gym tomorrow.

Not drinking a beer during 3 days off will be a chore.

Just amazing how many tricks the body has to frick with you if you let it.

I really KNEW I was in A Fib (which would have got me admitted to a hospital) and never even considered PACs. Even thought I was having PSVT runs.

Being a nurse is a blessing and curse. I have a wealth of knowledge of "dear god scenarios". But also have the ability to sneak into work off the clock and put myself on a monitor and also 12 lead EKG.

I have to work on relaxing!!!!

Unless I am playing guitar or drinking beer I never feel fully relaxed. EVER.

Exercise is going to have to work.
