A good friends wife is in the ER with covid. She’s healthy, 43 and on oxygen/steroids. Her fever broke this morning and she seems to be through the worst of it (13 days symptomatic). He’s one of the best people I know. They’re both very health conscience. He tested negative for the virus and for antibodies. It’s so random. How is it affecting some so severely and others seem unscathed?

Like everyone, I’m tired of all of this. Much of my productivity is in face to face sales and this is hard to replicate. It really is. I feel like a knight without his sword at times.

The family is healthy and generally happy. We had a nice holiday, just the 5 of us. It’s good to know we all still love each other despite how much we are stuck together these days.

Forever Labs is doing well. We just launched SuperShotPRP and look to have some significant sales starting in DEC.

We promoted our lab director to COO and she is AMAZING. Hats off to b_b for the referral. She has lifted so much off of my shoulders.

I have been getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep for the past week. This is amazing for me. I’m starting to realize my age and I need to get consistent sleep, drink water, restrict caloric intake and exercise. The whole “caloric intake,” part is the hardest.

Hubski is so amazing. If anything should ever happen to me I need mk, lil, steve and kleinbl00 to show my kids my posts/comments on Hubski. It would be a great way for them to know me after I’m gone. It’s like a 10+ year long diary covering a LOT of topics. I’m in fine health, but ya never know.

Anyways, hope all of you are healthy and well. Much love.

Onward!

Wow, haven't talked with her recently, so I didn't know that. I'm happy for both of you.

    I have been getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep for the past week.

Eighteen months ago I started going to bed at 9 PM twice a week to be able to get up at 5 and swim before work. My sleep cycle started to adapt to that time, and I find I like it. Sleeping until 5:30 or 6:00 now feels like sleeping in. With work from home, and with no pool swimming right now, I don't set an alarm. My sleep health feels great.

My brother-in-law and I talked about this last Christmas. He has to be at work at 6:00 and doesn't like being rushed in the morning, and he goes to bed at 8 PM gets up at 4 AM. My mom and sister commented that they can't get up that early, and my BIL and I agreed it's time management. Setting a bedtime helps.
