last time I wrote an entry was so long ago that the browser "forgot" the www-adress

Last September I hosted a party to celebrate my 17 years in Innsbruck – my half-life. One of the guests, Maurizio, brought me an incredible present: A bottle of Motörhead Rosé. I promised him to drink it together...but right now, I have an emergency, I need to write this blog.

Yesterday, I went to the doctor to make a general check-up. My last one was done two years ago, right after coming back from Georgia. Back then, the doctor told me my cholesterol was a little above the normal level and that my body-mass index was also slightly above, but they were still on the safe side. Back then, I was working, doing pilates daily and eating almost a kilo of fruit every day, the only negative aspect: I had only two friends in Tbilisi, Eka and Keti, with whom I met some times.

Currently, my life is a little bit different as it used to be in 2012 in Georgia: the summer here in Innsbruck is non-existing (compared to the daily 35°C of Tbilisi). I am unemployed since months, I no longer do pilates; only similar thing to Georgia: I haven´t been really socially active lately, but the alcohol consumption of the last two Saturdays clearly got my average back on track. Ah! and my fruit consumption has been stable this "summer"

But now, to the health check-up results:

Lungs – perfect, like those of the militant non-smoker I am

Kidneys – I urinate like a vegan baby

Liver – and this was surprisingly cool: perfectly normal levels!

Body-mass index: lower than 2012, hell yeah!

but there are bad news: both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol are higher than normal, but still on the safe side.

The doctor wanted to know more about causes of my cholesterol level and asked me about my sport activities, to which I answer „I ride my bike about 60 minutes per week“ right after saying this, I realised how lazy I am, so I added „that is actually only 10 minutes a day...doctor, forget it, I don´t do any sport“. It was like at AA, first thing is accepting you have a problem, and yes, I am lazy

She then asked me about food, to which I responded I eat meat around two or three times a month. She asked me „what about chocolate?“

Only then I realised I am a 35-year unemployed who makes no sport and eats too much chocolate...and right now I am starting to feel the effects of the Motörhead Rosé on my head while I proof-read this blog entry and listen to Motörhead.

Thank you Maurizio!
(and yes, I have pink blankets)
