how long can I keep it up?
I'd say yesterday was a success. Go me!
About the only bad thing about yesterday was that I left the house late and had to run for the bus. Unlike when I was on the thyroid meds, running was NOT easy.

What I mostly remember about video games from my youth is playing them with my sisters. We used to put pillows from the couch in the accent windows in the living room so there wouldn't be a glare on the TV. And we had lots of little, silly rituals with Sonic. Screaming "RUN! RUN! THEY'RE COMING AFTER YA!" (a Goonies quote) during the part when Sonic is running from the lava. And we called the shields "wongs" because that's the sound it made when you activated one ( ... )
