Had my latest MRI today.

They used dye this time and the technician had a hard time finding my vein twice and tried again on my other arm. That's right, three pricks instead of one. And not the good kinds of pricks, either.

Results in March. I know I should be nervous, but whatever happens happens.

My goals for the next few weeks:

1. Lose weight, get fit.
2. Drink less (related to #1).
3. Save money so I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck.
4. Bring leftovers for lunch instead of being left to expensive cafes near work.

5. Reward myself with a gift in a few weeks for successfully implementing the changes.

MRI on 8 Feb, appointment with neuro in March.

Hopefully, it'll be moved to every 3 years. :)

It's further complicated by the fact that my dream research project wouldn't get any funding and I couldn't do it without money. My 'backup project' would be cheaper, not not as fulfilling.
