The Doc

Out of the Dr. and blood work is done, I can eat again!

I hate fasting for blood work, it’s like when you know you can’t eat that’s all you want to do.

As suspected he wants me to lose weight, but so far all my other tests are good. Blood pressure is 130/80…meh, a little high but he didn’t freak out about it. I just have to wait on the cholesterol tests that he ordered and we’ll see how that plays out.

Refills ordered on all the meds. I have to use Express Scripts now, not thrilled with that but what can you do

Tomorrow

I have to go see the Doctor man tomorrow for the annual physical. I can hardly wait. I’m sure he will have something to say about my weight and my crazy and my liver function and my cholesterol levels and…i’m sure he’ll find something else. Oh yeah, I’m old so I get the prostate check too. Probably blood work on top of all that.

I hate the annual physical. I would skip it, except my insurance requires it. Fuck.

On the plus side, after that I’m going to get my hair cut.

List of 15 for 2012

So, here's the list for this year. I did okay last year and hit 50%. I've carried over some and added some new ones. I have some repeats, because I think they are important. 

1. - Run/Jog/Walk 300 Miles
2. - Enter and finish a 5K run
3. - Get 6 hours of sleep almost everyday
4. - Attend 2 live plays NOT at Theatre Siena
5. - Learn to play 2 new songs on the bass
6. - Lose 40 pounds
7. - Build a dividing wall and add electricity to the basement
8. - Run for public office, probably school board
9. - Read a book a month
10. - Take each of my daughters to lunch at least twice
11. - Take a trip to Chicago
12. - watch a documentary a month
13. - get my feet tattooed with a pig and rooster
14. - see at least 3 concerts/performances
15. - regularly visit with a therapist

Wish me luck?

2011

…ended the year with a few more scars, a few more tattoos, a few more wrinkles, a few more grey hairs, a few new friends and a few more cracks in my heart. I’m still standing and that is all any of us can really ask for, right?

So, I reviewed my list of 22 things to do in 2011 and I accomplished half of them. 50%. 11/22. I hoped I would do better, but it is what it is. I’ll be moving some of them to this year’s list and adding to it in the next few days. Maybe 22 was too many, maybe I didn’t try enough, maybe i was unrealistic.

That’s it - the date has changed. So it goes.
