Getting Ready to Move

A 30 day notice is given to the landlord and we are getting ready to move on. I'm now feeling rather apprehensive though. 3 months on the road could put a lot of strain  on my body and I may end up destroying whatever little chance I have for recovery. I'll have to be very careful. I'll rest every other day and keep the number of steps to under 6000. And I'll cut it short and return if there is any sign that I'm getting weaker, like the post-trip struggle I had after the trip to SoCal last year.

Between the new car and getting ready to move, I've been too distracted to write. My brain doesn't seem to function either since I stopped the regular walk schedule. It's just another reminder of the importance of daily walk and keeping a regular schedule for CFS patients.  And also a reminder that walkable city is better environment. Probably better for healthy people as well. Suburb is good only if you plan to raise children.

On other news, my fitbit has been dead for a few weeks. I've been wearing it in the shower because shower takes a lot of energy and had to be included in the measuring. The battery must've gotten shorted; it no longer holds charge. I got a replacement today. Luckily the price of Fitbit Charge HR has been cut in half now that new models are out.  I'll have to take it off when taking shower from now on. That means I'll have to manually account for the shower somehow.  I'll probably grep for 'shower' in the activity log and then insert the calories expenditure template for shower in the fitbit data. That means I'll have to record the time of shower as well in the activity log.
