The last month and a half have been...particularly unkind. But let's talk about something else!
Been one month since I started going to the gym. Doing way more than when I started and already seeing changes in myself. Yay me. There's a dude I see there sometimes who I tell myself will be me in 20 years if I stop going so that's a serious kick in the ass. I tend to push even harder when he shows up.
It's that time of year again. Christmas. I actually enjoyed last Christmas almost against my will. I think I even would have enjoyed the one before that but as some of you might remember I had my first flare of acute inflammatory arthritis that day and it was a pain I can't really describe unless you really know what pain is. Anyway, this year I was laid off for the first seven months. I got the new job (hooray!) and got caught up on my bills (whew!) then started saving for this. Then of course the car gets stolen so I have to give out most of what I had saved so now I've basically had to spend nothing since then to have money for gifts and such. Can't even click Proceed To Checkout for my Amazon shopping cart. It's been very very pleasant. No, wait, what's the opposite of pleasant?
Today at work my boss was trying to remember someone's name and said, "You know, what's his lips." It was one of those silly things you hear and for reasons you don't understand cause you to laugh yourself stupid. Good times.
I've decided to quit caffeine. For good. My company gives everyone a big chunk of time off for christmas. This year our last day is December 22nd and we go back January 3rd. I will use this time to detox myself. After I quit smoking this became the only thing I was addicted to and I don't like it. Also if I quit I'll cut out the majority of my daily sugar intake which should help speed along the whole weight loss thing. I figure it'll hurt like fuck for 3 or 4 days then slowly get better and I'll be more or less OK by the time I go back to work. Wish me luck.
