almost didn’t get in, because they claimed I needed a referral. Nobody told me, so I raised a little ruckus. The doctor saw me. It’s a shame that you have to make noise to be dealt with in health care around here. I don’t know how it is in other parts of the USA, but I imagine it’s the same.

told I need to keep a better eye on what I eat, (too many carbs, it would seem.) and that no surgery is going to be forthcoming, at least not in the immediate future. going to try a few more moderate solutions first, improved diet, and more regular sleep scheduling.

Also, going to get back on my workout schedule. 5 miles before work, minimum four days a week. (it’ll help me schedule my sleep better, too.) Start hitting the sack at midnight, and getting up at 8am. 15 minute warm-up, hour & a half walk, 15 min cool down before work should get me fit in no time. 🙂 Get all the bits and pieces up and running.

Also, I’m going to take it easy on the vending machine… off soda again, off the sweets. too easy to eat junky candy-stuff.

Going to get back into juggling, too. I plan on learning pins and rings comfortably by christmas. I’m guessing an hour a day before bed will serve.
