September 22nd, 2011 - Waiting

It's incredible how impatient we humans are compared to other living creatures. Wait too long at a green light and horns are honked. Slight delay in getting your food and the restaurant gets a negative review. But this spider is willing to wait as long as it takes — steadily and quietly — until food shows up. I envy its patience.

Got the results of my latest blood test. The results were disappointing. I have elevated levels of LDL cholesterol. My triglycerides and HDL levels are fine, though. In fact, they are great. I bet the endocrinologist will want me on cholesterol medication. Nope. Not for me. I don't do drugs. I'll find homoeopathic methods to manage my health. A friend has recommended physterol. From what I have read it is definitely worth a try. However, high LDL levels also mean I need to get off my ass and exercise more.
