Well now I have a touch of the flu after running around the nite before last and earlier yesterday .   It's a good thing I got the ol' trusty Nyquil to take care of such things.  Today is also wildcard Saturday so trust me....I aint going anywhere except to pee or other such necessary things. Not smoking is starting to get to me a little bit.  But the lozenges are helping.  The rest of my weekend is pretty much going to be like it is right now....boring and uneventful.  But here is something to get a laff out of in the meantime.

Until tomorrow my friends

My heart has no issues or problems.  First bit of good news I've had in a while. Conversely, I will be on the shelf workwise for at least three months until I am set up with my CPAP for my sleep apnea.   It was interesting in discovering that in the last five years I have had maybe one minute of actual REM sleep.  Anyway, on top of all that I need to get set up with a nutritionist as well and that also could take a while.  No matter, I am gonna do whatever I need to do to get my weight down and under control.  I cannot take another minute of this the way things are.  I understand that some would say you need to be comfortable in your own skin, but when I can't move the way I used to, that pisses me off.  Anyway I have a lot of stuff to take care of tomorrow so this is gonna be a short one.

Until tomorrow my friends

Well new years day came and went without much of a hitch.  Of course I watched enough football for one day to last till next season lol.  Who am I kidding, there is never enough football for that.  Today is of course the big day where I will find out from my doctor the results of my heart ultrasound and what I will have to do going forward for the rest of the year.  I see shitty food and absolutely no fun at all for the rest of the year.  Oh well that's what I get for thinking I was bulletproof.  Barb is gonna go with me for moral support.  She has lots of experience when it comes to hospital stuff.  She'll know what to ask and such.  Im just worried about how this will affect me financially.  My job was a pretty good job I think, I wasn't gonna be a millionaire by no means but at least it was paying the bills and keeping me outta trouble.  The other night  Barb suggested we go somewhere warm for xmas next year.  First thing that popped in my head was Vegas.  But of course that's soooooo everyone else.  Then it came to me.....why not Reno?  You hardly ever hear of people going there for vacations.  I know it would still be busy but at least it would be different than Vegas.   Unfortunately that idea is kinda low on the totem pole of priorities right now so maybe we should stop talking about that for now.  Let's just worry about what happens today and go from there.

Until tomorrow my friends

Well the new year has shown up and in the wee hours of the morning I'm here trying to figure out what to say and how to get this blog started.  In the week leading up to the New Year I have been hospitalized for not only respiratory issues but also a potential heart issue and of course the fact that I am crazy fat.  Not only do I need to quit smoking, but now I need to make sure I lose weight in order to deal with all the health issues that are currently going on.  Strange thing is, although my birth certificate says I'm 50 I still feel like the same crazy kid who normally would be looking forward to ball season in the spring.  That feeling goes away pretty quickly once I actually start to move and then I realize there is no friggin way I'm doing anything like that again.  So now begins the conundrum of trying to figure out how to solve this very real problem I have, maintain an actual living, and avoid all the things that could set me back or make things worse.  I know that later today will be filled with catching as many football games on the idiot box as possible.  Just gotta do that, otherwise I'd lose my mind.  As for later in the day or evening there is the proverbial ride in the car if not just to keep everything mechanically warm and not have the damn thing freeze up on me.  A Timmies run should cure that quite nicely.  I'll go and get Barb for that one.  Tomorrow will be another day of course except that there is a doctor's appointment to take care of and that will be when I find out where I stand health wise and what my options will be going forward.  In any event, I have'nt got much else to say other than I hope all my friends and family have a happy and prosperous new year full of health and good fortune.

Until tomorrow
