Well, I said I would do better today and I did. I woke up early, got up, and shaved my head bald. I used the dog clippers and then a cheap plastic razor. No hair, just small stubble. Feels cooler. My wife likes it. Other people are not so sure. My neighbors are amused. A waitress asked if I had lost a bet.

I also paid close attention to what I ate and when I tested my blood sugars. Only had one high reading, otherwise they were below 200. I did a lot of thinking about what I intend to do to keep occupied rather than changing the world or rebuilding it. I am scaling things back or down and will go about doing some of it before I let on what it is. I don't want to make a statement and then go back on it.

In the midst of all that thinking I realized that given my situation I am in a perfect position to go in pretty much any direction I please. So long as I don't require a ton of money to accomplish the transition. But I will keep it simple. I already know that one of the most complex problems an individual can face is too many choices. So small changes are good. Cancer is enough of a change agent right now.

More tomorrow.
