Diary entry of a Muscle

Dear Diary,

I was the star of the class today but I didn’t even have a little time to slow down and talk to my best friend Mr. Bones, to whom I always stick to. I cannot imagine a day without him. To think of it, he’s so strong, fair, tall and sturdy. Who wouldn’t like Mr. Bones. He always supports me in my chores too.

So, as I was saying, I had one of the craziest days today as Shraddha had a sports tournament in her school and she didn’t think of me even once when I got filled with all this lactate. I think I was giving her enough signs and cramps. And I feel so bloaty, and I have heartburn from all this acid going around in me and angry too as the adrenaline really made her forget everything and make me slide so much. I remember telling Mr. Bones to go the park for slides but this is not what I was expecting to do all day. She needs to really sit down now and breathe so that I can slowly get rid of all this. I think I am feeling like this because she ran a lot today, and my creatine got depleted and myoglobin wasn’t providing enough oxygen either, all I had to do was suffocate and still work for her. Such a toxic work environment. Why can’t shraddha be more considerate and breathe periodically while she exercises so that I don’t feel acidic later on. But I think slowly if she trains me, I’ll learn to accumulate more myoglobin and manage to work longer without being acidic.

Today when adrenaline was gushing everywhere, my cardiac parts at the heart couldn’t handle it and I got so nervous that I kept on overworking till I felt easy. The adrenaline really makes me nervous and feel like I would die if I don’t start working at the moment. But soon the Sodium, Potassium and calcium managed me well, so I was able to slow down and find my rhythm again.

I feel I don’t get enough credit for all the work that I do. I contain all her food, I pass it down, I help her move, laugh, smile, work, talk, taste, breathe, and do so much more to actually keep her alive. I feel she should put me through a bit more use and help me build stronger. She hasn’t been waking up early these days, and if she continues to be lazy and not work, I fear I may lose some mass of mine. I think I will appeal the brainy dude in the skull to make her think that she needs to go to the gym. I’ll amaze her by the strength I have when she tries lifting all those weights and move around. I wonder if it’d be painful for me. But even so I may break some strings, I’ll come out stronger.

Okay, so, I still have so much work left to do, I have to transfer all this ammonia to little Alanine so that she goes to the transaminases with her best friend alpha ketoglutarate in Ms. Livy the Liver. I find Livy to an amazing woman, the way she’s able to manage Shraddha’s health. I wonder if I would be able to become as multifaceted as she’s. Well, I don’t have much interactions with her but these ammonia transfers by glucose-Alanine shuttle really made me get to know her quite well and She always sends her regards via the glucose she regularly sends to me. She indeed got me covered.

Well, I am tired now, and really need to relax. I feel bad for my cardiac parts at times, who have been working since shraddha was tiny little thing. Indeed, the heart is my inspiration, the way she has enabled herself to work tirelessly and efficiently. She is her own master and doesn’t even need the brainy guy in the skull. Such a diva.

Okay, okay, enough chit chat, I am going to relax now, so everything is normalised and I go back to slide more tomorrow.

Goodnight
