Good Morning

Well ---- Things are going pretty well so far today. since it’s 0600 things look good. sitting here with my coffee and trying to figure out the universe.  Oh well. I am reading "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. Never read it before, but probably should have. I love the “Secret Sharer” so we’ll see. As I may have mentioned I’m the new chairman DE LLS patient services committee, but they also submitted my name to be a patient  advocate with the FDA drug approval folks. So we’ll see what happens and what that means.
Buzz -- pictured below -- has become my best bud - animal-wise anyway. He has become so attached to me it is quite remarkable. He’s lost a bunch of weight too. My hero.
I am busy working on some writing stuff and trying to get my girth a bit less girthier. The only problem with getting fat isn’t the health stuff, but it makes my scar hurt. Yikes. That’s it for now I guess. Peace out.
 

24 January update.

Yeehaw!! what  great start. Been work on making my heiney a bit smaller. I’ve worked out every day this week (counting snow shoveling) Two session ion the recumbent bike, a big afternoon walking the stairs at DOL on Friday. I did exercise at each landing. It was crazy. Lots of planks, pushups, and lunges. 30 minutes -- wore me out.
I’ve been behind the power curve this week as I’ve been fiddling with a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I was going to buy an I-pad, but I bought the Note 8 based on price. Well we’ll see.

Peace bill

Gaol Update

Well started working on my goals today and did 30 minutes on the recumbent bike.

NO kidding goals

They say -- whomever they are -- that you should announce your goals that way social pressure will force you to work toward them. Here goes. I will lose 15 pounds no later than May 30, 2014. I will finish my play no later than 1 March 2014. I will be in the best shape of my life no later than 30 Sep 2014. I will enjoy several hundred cookies no later than 29 Sep 2014 (might as well put a goal in I will actually achieve).

Damn cough keeps hanging around

Feeling pretty dang good. cough hangs around a tad. Otherwise okay, Not a heck of a lot to report at this end.

Just plugging along. Walked the stairs in our yesterday for the first time in more that a month. Calves hurt. I’ve been on a Western novel binge lately. I read the last of the theRobert B. Parker Appaloosa series last night. There were four in all and then he died -- probably from boredom; he wrote the Jess Stone series too. Yech!

I keep staring at this giant book about the crusades I keep meaning to start, but I can’t get around to it. It’s too daunting right now. Still whacking away at work. blah, blah, blah.

I wish I had something more interesting to say today.

I was thinking about putting my 75 cancer tips on you tube. We’ll see.

BTW this month marks two year returning to work Part-time anyway.

Peace to all,

Bill

No new job, but bronchitis is better

Good morning all:

Well it looks I’m gonna survive my first post-chemo real illness. I’ll tell ya, it felt the jury was out for a bit, but I’m just being overly dramatic. Felt incredibly lousy since December 23^rd. Turns out I had a cold that morphed into bronchitis. I was sure kid crud was gonna get me; I made it. Still got a stuffy nose, but that I can handle.

Got the official word that I did not get the job in Oregon. I expected as much. It was as if I had job interviewed induced Tourette’s Syndrome; shit just came out of my mouth and it was like an out-body experience. I can’t explain it. Who knows? It’s like I just said words with no rhyme or reason to their meaning. All-in-all quite embarrassing – especially for a workforce professional.

Probably for the best though it took a lot of courage to even take a shot at a move like that. Still don’t know if I wanted the job, I just hate losing (and losing my mind).

I guess that’s it. Hope springs eternal.

Love to all,

Bill
