Well Adjusted

July 13, 2011

Nothing in my life has ever been well adjusted, not physically, not mentally, and not financially.  But last week I was offered the chance to receive a free consultation with Advanced Bodywork and Massage.  I can tell you I came out of there feeling a good 3 inches taller.  But I am getting ahead of [...]

Newbie

July 2, 2011

I had my first official visit to the gym this week and it didn’t go so well. I rode the recumbent bike for about a mile and a half, but wasn’t comfortable in the seat. Then moved to the elliptical which I was told would be good for my bad knee. YEOUWCH! Not so much, [...]

Pneumonia

February 16, 2011

Yep, that’s what I (un)officially have. I have a friend and her primary Dr. is a very good friend of her family.  He agreed to see me at no cost after hours yesterday. According to him, I am on the “last legs” of Pneumonia.  That I probably suffered the worst of it about 10-12 days [...]

Migraine

January 1, 2011

Image by alles-schlumpf via Flickr I had my first migraine in May of 2010.  I couldn’t believe what was happening.  I used to snicker when someone at work called out or left early due to a migraine.  I figured it is a headache quit being such a baby. But since that first one I have [...]
