Not in his goals, but in his transitions, is man great. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
In case you hadn't noticed, it's a new year. And things in my life are going to change. They've got to change. I've been feeling too miserable, too low, too worthless to let this continue.
I have a special appointment with my rheumatologist next week. And while I'm not guaranteeing I'll go off medication entirely, I'm not sticking with what I've been doing. I just can't. Things are worse than before, because now there's this crazy mental aspect to it from the drugs, both in forgetfulness and depression. And as smart as he is, it's not his body.
I was at the health club yesterday for C-man's swimming lessons, and they've set up a 12 week fitness group. I'm going to join it. As crappy as I'm feeling, the best I've ever felt was when I was insane about exercise and diet. And while I love a tasty donut more than just about anything, it's time to get off my ass.
And, of course, the house is getting shaped up. I've been decluttering a ton of crap, as well as things are getting spruced up with the new half-bath renovations and more goodness to come.
Take that 2010. 2011 is already better than you.

I really hope that you begin to feel better soon. And about that donut ... my lunchroom has two dozen of them in there this morning. I'm doing my best to refrain, but gosh do I love a donut!
It is ironic.....
I see your pictures everyday. You seem like one of the happiest people in North America. Your blogs are usually very upbeat. I know that is not a facade. Your pictures of your son always makes me realize how special he is to you. I hope you get some relief from this misery.
Hey....You got me into geocaching. My wife finally discovered it. We have fun together. Thanks
I hope you're able to find more relief in 2011. Have you ever done water exercise? I take a 3x/week deep-water interval class - great work-out, with no impact.
I love your attitude in the final sentence, and I hope to emulate it all year long. Good luck with the doc, and I hope you truly do get feeling better this year. You deserve that.
Good luck with your new resolve. I hope you find the solution. (And BTW, I love the new logo--but I'd be leery about anything ball-shaped that cows might sell, even covered with snow.)
