Seems okay

Not feeling sick this morning. Guess that eliminates the new cannabis as making me ill. So I'm not sure what caused it. Unless I'm developing an allergy to potatoes. Or I got a bag of contaminated potatoes. The latter seems more likely. Never heard of anyone with a potato allergy.

Actually, just checked. It does exist. May be a reaction to a chemical in the skin (which is actually a poison but in low concentration). So I better start peeling my potatoes as a precaution. Twice I ate potatoes this week, twice I got fairly ill. 

Here's a problem. Since I started working out again, my shoulder pain has returned. Not as bad as before but very much there. I don't think working out in itself is the problem but advancing too quickly and the need to balance my workout more. Pull-down exercises seem to help. One that strains them the most is the pec fly.

The shoulder pain is really frustrating to me because my shoulders have always been one of the strongest parts of my body. Long as I could lift something with my shoulders, I could lift it. And since the shoulders are attached to the whole upper body, at different times shoulder problems can lead to chest pain (pec and pec sternal attachment), arm pain, neck pain and back pain. I have realized my back pain years ago stemmed from my shoulder problem. The doctors could have figured that out back then if they had remotely paid attention to anatomy, which I did not know at the time. Now I know what idiots they really were, except the one who finally helped me after 2 1/2 years of pain. 

Okay, I have a couple of things to do before picking daughter up.
