A couple of days ago I woke up early and rode my bike around the park.\u00c2\u00a0 It was really cold; it was 50 degrees, and had been in the 70’s for the week previous.\u00c2\u00a0 So I was cold at first, though nothing new.\u00c2\u00a0 But halfway around the loop my pins and needles came on quickly and really strongly.\u00c2\u00a0 Normally it only kicks in at the end of the first lap, and it goes away.<\/p>\n
I pulled over to the side of the road.\u00c2\u00a0 Took off my long sleeve jersey, and pulled up my undershirt.\u00c2\u00a0 I almost took it off too.\u00c2\u00a0 I waited for a bit to cool down.\u00c2\u00a0 Me, standing in spandex biking shorts and a white t-shirt pulled up to my armpits.\u00c2\u00a0 After a few minutes I realized I wasn’t going to get much cooler.\u00c2\u00a0 I rode back in the t-shirt, with that awful pins and needles feeling, just trying to make it home.<\/p>\n
tomorrow i’m going to go see a psychologist who specializes in visualization, with a focus on hypnosis and self-hypnosis.\u00c2\u00a0 We are going to work on techniques for visualizing the freezing air conditioned server room at the studio, where I go when I overheat.<\/p>\n
The idea of hypnosis freaks me out a bit, but the idea of what we are going to work on is fundamentally sound.\u00c2\u00a0 I have started to try to think about that room when the overheating\/pins and needles feeling is coming on, and it helps moderate the severity.\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t quite make it *stop* right then and there, but I can make it better.\u00c2\u00a0 So better visualization skills should help.<\/p>\n
in other news my mouth is raw again.\u00c2\u00a0 not as bad as the previous three(?) times, but the cycle feels like it is still waxing, and will get worse before it gets better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
