CFS - and other such symptoms

These days I'm feeling listless. I've got a perpetual body ache and am feeling so tired. On top of that I cannot concentrate and I feel like I have a migraine all the time.

Do I have chronic fatigue syndrome? I hope to God not!!

I have noticed one thing about myself though. If I feel that the stress is getting to me, I decide to relax. Whether it is through reading a book, or watching a film, I completely slow down and make the pressure go away.

Most days though eating a chocolate (particularly a Cadbury's Wowie) helps a lot. I dunno why. But it does. Or ordering a pizza. This isn't doing much for my waistline though. So I think exercise is in order now.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Bhubaneshwar this month. That should be relaxing and refreshing. I think most of our expenditure will be on food and drink - we're planning to spend a day at Chilka Lake and see the birds and flora. This should be exciting. I believe there is a 95% chance of seeing a dolphin at the beach. So I'm quite excited about it all!!

I was thinking though why we hadn't gone to Goa or to someplace more exotic, like Ladakh. But then, Ladakh in winter, isn't such a great idea. And Goa I've been to before. This time I wanted to go someplace new which I haven't seen and would not easily see either. Bhubaneshwar is out of the way but at the same time the state of Orissa is so culturally rich that it begs to be visited. Further, one of the ancient dhams, the temple of Puri, is a must-visit place for any good Hindu. Now I'm not particularly religious, but I thought that this would be a nice place to go to for our first vacation trip together.
