Gravity fills me
+ Spent most of the morning depressed about my diabetes thanks to a small flurry of posts on the Sub-List on the topic, which just hit me the exact wrong way. Feeling better now, but it's very easy for me to get quite down on the topic.
+ Was also cheered to discover at the gym today that I lost an additional two pounds, bringing me to 32lbs lost. Also attempting to start leaving the machines and transition to free weights, although I don't know if my knees are capable of the squats that Stumptuous so loves, but maybe if I continue to lose weight I can try them.
+ Dragged my bike out of the utility room, got it over to the gas station to get the tires filled, and did a quick five mile bike ride this evening, which was lovely weather for it.
+ Am seriously contemplating taking up aikido again, despite the expense (seventy bucks a month for unlimited classes - I wish I could pay a little less and maybe only go once a week). Will have to consult with the doctor who did my disc removal, I suppose, because of the falls. The only warning the doctor gave me when I asked about martial arts was "don't get kicked in the head" but I should probably double-check. Anyway, I really, really miss aikido, and now that I've lost a bit of weight it seems like something I can do again.
+ I'd love to take up horseback riding again, but that would probably be even more expensive.
+ Bemo and I will head to DC in a few days for Chessica's wedding and for some family time. Looking forward to visiting with my seester, and yes, even my mom. Hopefully my reimbursement for my Miami seminar trip will be in before we go, because I need the cash. (It better be there before my credit card bill is due.)
+ Have been looking at small rental cottages in France and Italy. Why do I torture myself this way?
