A coming together…the story of my Bismuth addiction

A coming together of what you ask? Of the fates. The more ones juggles, the more one has to juggle. Filling your schedule with new events is an exponential process. Event A may take up 10% of you day, but exhausts you for 20% of it. Take for example a man who goes jogging. He jogs for 1 hour. Then, he gets home and cools down…drinks some water. Relaxes. Not a problem, All total 20% of his day is spent jogging(for arguments sake). Imgine now, that your daily activites aside from jogging add up to 90% of the rest of your time. Suddenly we have to find a 10% window in which to cool down from jogging. There simply isn’t one. We can go on like this for some time…because the jogging is teh only REAL occupier of our time while the cooldown remains intangible. Then, it catches up. For me it is catching up in the form of acid reflux. My body needs rest so it sends me a message by pumping stomach acid up my throat and into my mouth. To which I reply…NOT NOW! Reaching for the bottle of bistmuth tablets(chewable pepto bismol) I cut off the remainder of the message a the source. Allowing me to continue abusing my system undisturbed for another day.

When will I rest? There is no rest for those who would choose to ignore the intangible elements of our day.

Ironically I’ve had time to write all of the garbage…but you get the point.

    i think acid reflux is a response to stress, rather than fatigue.
