I got my health report, and when I get back from my walk, I'm gonna scan it in and create a PDF, then add it to my collection of PDFs. The report includes information about the Unvarnished Kevin, including a note about my enlarged heart (cardiomegaly or cardiac hypertrophy—I've had that for years; it's a symptom, not a condition in itself). One interesting thing: My height is apparently now under six feet: The report says 181.5 cm, or about 5.95 feet. I'm used to thinking of myself as 6'1.5", but I guess I've been stooping and shrinking. My weight, even while clothed, is listed as under 110 kg, which is nice: 109.4. Just 19 more kg to my goal weight, which I'll likely never reach until I'm a corpse leaking fluids all over a metal table. I guarantee, though, that I'll be feather-light after they cremate me.
Will interviewers wonder whether I'll croak in class? Well, I kind of wonder myself, but I think I can last at least an academic year and start building my savings back up.
And now, I'm gonna go for a walk.
We have reached the age where we start shrinking. I hope to live long enough to become a hobbit.
