First, big fat pat on my back for me -- I haven't checked my work email in 4 full days while on leave! Ok, there were occasional peeks on my mobile phone the first two days where I scanned the email subjects but I resisted the urge to open the emails. Hooray!

This is all part of my acknowledgement of the need to start looking at my psychological and physical well-being as I get older by yet another year. While age is just a number in one's outlook, the impact on the well-being is real. It's as if the backache, headache and cold that overwhelmed me on the first week of 2008 was timed to be a glaring reminder that cannot be ignored, that shouts the inevitability of NO escape. Sigh. So, I can only hope to push the wear and tear as far away as possible.

And now as part of this new resolve, I'm logging off and targeting to go to bed by midnight. Yes, no more 2am bed-time. Time to move over to the old lady routine. Slowly. And no more laughing at my mum for her 10pm bedtime.
