Hi guys.

I have been around, but have felt so good that I have gone crazy getting stuff done and getting out of the house. I have really needed to get out of the house, which means my time has been spent catching up on things, having some fun, and starting working out again. So, I haven’t been writing.

I may not write daily; I am burned out. But I am still around, and will catch up on blogs when I can. At some point, I will miss blogging, and start daily again, but, for now, maybe just every few days.

Here’s some of the things I got done since Friday:

1. Cleaned the house top to bottom.

2. Detailed my car top to bottom.

3. Started my interval training to be able to run 3k.

4. Started my weight training again.

5. Started getting the dogs some exercise by taking them for a walk every day.

6. Created a disciplined schedule for myself, since I am rarely disciplined when I am at home, either working or not.

7. Ran my sci-fi group on Saturday night and had a great time!

8. Finished that damned fiction book! Finally!

9. Stopped drinking coffee, and am reducing my caffeine considerably. (Except that one starbucks I got.)

And so much more.

My joint pain is gone, thanks to steroids for five days, and all I am is sore from working out. I feel 100% better, after feeling like such shit for 4.5 weeks. 4.5 WEEKS! Can you believe I was sick that long? I have never been that sick for that long in my entire life. So, I think I have a new sense regarding feeling well. I have energy, stamina and I want more energy. Hence the working out. I am really enjoying it, and I am REALLY enjoying getting out of the house. I am even socializing again.

So, since I am spending so much time away from the computer (I got totally burned out at the computer while I was sick), I won’t be blogging as much till I get all this out of my system.

    I’m so glad you’re feeling better. There’s no better reason to be away from here than to be busy feeling good.

    That’s awesome. All of it.

    Sci fi group? I check “Meetup”, and it seems like one person shows up and expresses interest in my area once every 6 months or so.

    Thank goodness for feedreaders.

    Glad to see/hear you back up and around, and a real honest-to-goodness REASON you can tangibly target in your revenge-ridden part of your mind.

    SULFA CAN GO TO HELL

    Can you come detail my car now? It’s filthy.

    My dog could use some exercise, too.

    Oh, and send me all your coffee, since you won’t be drinking it any more.

    ;)

    (Glad you’re feeling better!)

    Fab:
    Well, I had to go to urban dictionary to look that one up. I am so excited I could make you plotz.

    Robin:
    I have finally become incredibly bored, so I am sittin’ around. I am going to catch up on blogs today, and we will def talk. Not that I only talk to you when I am bored; just when I am at the puter, and I have been avoiding it.

    Penelope:
    I would do your stuff just to be able to come visit you!

    Finn:
    Thanks!

    Tug:
    Thanks!

    Slut:
    Remember, I am still unemployed (fucking CA). So I have a lot of time on my hands. I started working out, and I am overdoing it for my weight, because I have become completely exhausted and ravenous. So now I have to slow down. I am SO not used to doing that with working out. **sigh**

    Winter:
    You said it, girl.

    DMarks:
    Where do you live?

    Whall:
    Necessary evil, unfortunately, to kill the MRSA. Looks like I did have it, just that the sulfa drugs had the same side effects which made it look like I didn’t have it.

    SS:
    Funny; I had just picked up another HUGE thing of coffee two days before I decided to kill it off. I do have to say, though, I am not doing a great job. I switched to black tea in the a.m. for now, which has the highest caffeine content of all teas. But the next step is to go back to green tea (very low caffeine content) in the a.m. I have decided to do one small thing at a time. I started taking Chantix to quit smoking again (it worked last year, I just stopped taking it), and already I am not craving them like I was, and I have only been on it three days. I decided instead of focusing on my goal to run a 3k in 9 weeks, I am going to slow it down to walking fast, and focus more on the food, since I can’t work out as much as I have been doing without completely killing my energy and making me really hungry.

    Anyhoo, thanks everyone for the support!
