Today was a good day. Yesterday was too. That's two in a row, a
first. Both were mostly pain-free with some very enjoyable periods.

I had a scheduled physical today, which required me to fast for 12
hours before and abstain from alcohol for 48 hours preceeding. That
was a bit of a nuisance because I've enjoyed taking the edge off
about wine-thirty as my daughter describes end of afternoon, but no
big deal.

Might try a few more days without alcohol. Everybody is different, and I
enjoy my occasional libation. Sometimes two or three, but remember that
alcohol is a mild depressant. Personally I prefer to have a couple when I
am feeling good, want to relax, and don't have anywhere to go. Of course,
like I said, "Everybody is different."
