I am feeling better now. The symptoms are at about 50%, and my energy is back to about 90%. It helps that I walked this morning.

I’ve been trying to find ways of increasing my energy. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any websites that dealt with increased energy. There are plenty of health sites that deal with overall “wellness” and “fitness,” but I couldn’t find as much as a single page on “How to increase your overall energy level” (obviously, consuming a few cups of sugar would do it temporarily; I’m talking about an overall strategy). I mentioned this to my parents, and we agreed that it’s the same as it’s always been: you need diet and exercise. I eat well, but I haven’t been exercising as much as I’d like. I pointed out that I don’t like to run on cold mornings. Dad replied simply, “Walk.”

And he was dead-on right. I need to at least get some exercise, and if that’s all I can get, so be it. So I walked this morning, and sure enough, I have a good amount of energy today.

Meanwhile, AOL has changed its instant messaging Terms of Service so that it now retains the right to re-broadcast anything you send over AIM, to anyone at any time and in any form. More information. This makes me want to abandon iChat and find an ICQ client for my Macs.

And on a totally unrelated note, below is a graphic showing some of the cartoons showing now on the BBC. Hey, who’s that on the far right? It’s an old friend.
